Barrier Reefer
Barrier Reefer
Overview
Barrier Reefer is a mostly indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Koala Seeds that emerged from years of selective breeding across multiple locations. Originally evolved from a fast-growing strain grown outdoors for its distinctive perfume, the Barrier Reefer has exceeded expectations to become what breeders describe as a sticky, wet cannabis plant that represents one of the best strains developed over the years. The strain is noted for being fast-finishing and is characterized by its potent effects that can provide significant body-numbing sensations.
This cultivar is particularly known for its heavy yield potential and disease resistance, making it an appealing option for cultivators. However, growers should be aware that the plant may double in size during flowering and can be susceptible to common pests like whiteflies and spider mites, making indoor cultivation preferable unless extreme pest control measures are implemented. The strain has developed a reputation for being quite potent, leading to recommendations that new or low-tolerance users approach it with caution due to its strong effects.

Growing Information
Easy difficulty to grow with an average flowering time of 63 days and medium yield potential. Can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The plant may double in size during the flowering stage, so extended vegetation periods are manageable. Known to be resistant to most diseases but susceptible to whiteflies and spider mites, making indoor cultivation recommended unless extreme pest control measures are available for outdoor growing. Regular seeds only, with no feminized versions available.
