Designed for those seeking the perfect balance in a marijuana strain, Critical combines strength, yield, and ease of growth. This indica-dominant variety is the offspring of Afghani and Skunk, ensuring a robust lineage. Ideal for indoor growth or spaces with limited room, Critical remains compact, not exceeding 100cm, but fills out with buds to deliver substantial yields.
Indoors, expect around 65-75 grams per plant, with potential yields up to 600 grams per square meter under optimal lighting. Outdoors, in warm climates like Spain or California, it's possible to harvest over 600 grams per plant. Critical's quick flowering time of just 7 weeks suits those on a tight schedule, and its maintenance requirements are minimal, benefitting commercial operations. Not only does it yield highly, but it also provides a potent, relaxing stone, making it a valuable crop in terms of both quantity and quality.

Strain FAQ
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
Are there challenges with high-yielding strains?
Indoor cultivation of high-yielding strains can pose challenges such as managing large plant sizes and ensuring adequate light penetration to lower branches. Legal growers often employ advanced training techniques and may require more robust support structures to handle the weight of the buds.
Does every early-finishing strain have Indica dominance?
Indicas have a shorter flowering period and so are normally involved somehow, however breeders have also created fast-flowering Sativa and hybrid strains. This is very useful as breeders can select from a larger range of potential genetic attributes.
