From the work of a historic breeder who wrote the history of some of the most popular cannabis genetics comes the prestigious Critical, a reworking of an ancient genetics called Big Bud. The intention of this "rework" was to recreate a stable strain with a massive and impressive production, as well as a consistent and long-lasting effect.
In fact, the etymology of the name, "critical mass", stands for mass production, for this reason this genetics is particularly suitable for commercial but also amateur production.
To be more specific, we are talking about a crossbreed between an Afghani Indica specially selected for its extreme vigor and the original Skunk #1 (Afghanistan x Mexico x Colombia).
Critical Mass is an indica-dominant cannabis variety, which possesses all the possible attributes sought by the smoker:
- Bountiful harvest
- Short flowering period
- Ease of growth and versatility
- Quality
- Taste
- Organoleptic properties
Critical 2.0 the evolution of genetics
This indica dominant cannabis variety is a must for demanding growers, who expect large productions and great effects from a plant, it is no coincidence that critical 2.0 is the most commercial genetics in existence. In fact, the harvest (which takes place outdoors around mid-September) can realistically even weigh 650-750 grams per m2, even more if you are expert growers and especially outdoors. Once grown, Critical Mass seeds generate abundant branches, with a very short internodal distance that improves production, and an infinite series of buds; moreover they do not require specific conditions, but they adapt to any type of substrate and form of cultivation.
The only inconvenience that could occur is the appearance of mould, given that its buds are extremely thick and dense, humidity can penetrate more easily causing damage to the plant if the environment is not well ventilated. So pay attention to the environment in which you are growing so that it is not too humid and above all harvest at the right time.
Two of the most interesting characteristics of this strain are the aroma and taste it produces, particularly intense and easily recognizable. The taste remains from start to finish and is very pleasant to smoke also because it leaves a strong aftertaste. Critical Mass cannabis seeds can contain a percentage of THC between 19% and 22%, values considered impressive for a strain with such large buds. The effect is very long lasting, almost soporific at times. Like all species with high THC content, when consumed in large quantities, it can cause paranoia and anxiety. Given the particularly sedative effects, it is advisable to smoke it in the evening to induce sleep. It is particularly indicated in case of insomnia problems, chronic pains and physical pains in general, in the same way it calms stress and anxiety. Others choose it to treat headache, anxiety and anorexia.
Many phenotype of critical genetic is in the market
Since the creation of this new cannabis variety, hundreds of crosses of feminized seeds and autoflowering seeds have been born , with the most varied names. To name a few:
- Critical + and Critical 2.0 are certainly one of the most copied plants by breeders of the last twenty years
- Critical Jack cross of the indica variety Critical+ with the sativa variety Jack Jerer, a true production machine
- Criminal + by Ripper Seeds: a cross between Critical and Double Glock, the most powerful variety of this seed bank, which has produced its most productive and fastest hybrid
- Critical Hog by TH Seeds: Tennesse HOG winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup was crossed with Critical Mass from the Basque Country (winner of several Spanish cannabis competitions)
- Critical Mass CBD by Dinafem Seeds: specially created for therapeutic use
- Critical + 2.0 auto by Silent Seeds : autoflowering cannabis seeds
- Critical Jack auto autoflowering version

- Sweet Seeds Green Poison
- Green poison XL auto cannabis autoflowering
- Critical Kush by Barney's Farm
- Critical lemon
- critical haze
- Auto Critical Orang Punch from the Dutch Seeds Bank Dutch Passion
- Sweet critical
Despite being very susceptible to mold due to the large and dense flower production, we would recommend Critical genetics even to novice growers due to its high yield and ability to grow easily both indoors and outdoors
