Critical is a robust and rewarding indica-dominant strain bred from the legendary Critical Mass genetics. It offers a balanced THC range of 16–19%, making it potent enough to satisfy experienced smokers while still approachable for newer consumers. With a flowering time of just 8–10 weeks, this variety fits perfectly into your growing schedule, whether indoors or outdoors. Outdoor growers can look forward to harvesting by the end of September, making it ideal for temperate, warm, or even cooler climates. Critical’s generous yields of over 600g/m² and easy-growing nature have cemented its place as a favourite for both hobbyists and commercial cultivators.
Critical delivers a deeply relaxing high that eases tension from head to toe. It’s the perfect evening strain when you want to unwind after a long day or simply melt into the couch. The calming properties make it a popular choice for those seeking relief from depression, stress, or physical discomfort. You’ll feel the effects build gradually, starting with a gentle cerebral calm before settling into a full-body stone. This also makes it a great companion for a lazy weekend, a chill movie night, or a good night’s sleep.
Growing Critical is a smooth and beginner-friendly experience. Indoors, you’ll see the best results when you give the plants plenty of vertical space, as they can stretch up to 180–220cm. Using training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) can help control height while boosting bud development. Critical thrives in a consistent light cycle and responds well to moderate feeding schedules. Thanks to its hardy genetics, it adapts well to a variety of climates, but it truly shines in temperate and warm conditions. Outdoors, it’s ready to harvest by the end of September, avoiding autumn rains and mould issues. Whether you grow in soil or hydro, Critical is reliable, fast, and generous.
Critical’s aroma is an inviting mix of woody, nutty, and slightly tar-like notes, layered over a base of earthy freshness. When you break apart the buds, you’ll notice hints of pine and subtle herbal undertones, thanks to its terpene profile rich in pinene, ocimene, and terpinolene. On the inhale, you’ll get the smooth nuttiness and woody depth, while the exhale leaves a lingering, slightly resinous aftertaste. It’s a flavour that stays memorable and keeps you coming back for more.
As a labour of love strain, we are happy with the volume of cannabis that it’s capable of producing. It was our intention to breed a big-time producer, and that’s exactly what Critical does. Also, it grows well indoors and out, is meant for any skill level of grower, and has wonderful bodily and cerebral effects packed into one strain.
Smoking Critical is a warm, satisfying experience from start to finish. The smoke is smooth and full-bodied, carrying earthy depth with a subtle sweetness. The relaxing effects come on quickly, leaving you in a comfortable, happy state that makes worries fade into the background. Whether you’re sharing it socially or enjoying it solo, Critical is all about pleasure without overwhelming intensity.
