There are always lots of requirements to fill when deciding which strain to grow: strength, yield, flavour, ease of growth, suitability to climate etc. There is one marijuana plant that tries to bring together all these features in a perfect balance in order to produce a large yield, short flowering period, and a good smoke.
There are always lots of requirements to fill when deciding which strain to grow: strength, yield, flavour, ease of growth, suitability to climate etc. There is one marijuana plant that tries to bring together all these features in a perfect balance in order to produce the ultimate cash crop: large yield, short flowering period, good smoke. Critical is a plant designed for the 'cash-crop' grower who wants the best of both worlds and is guaranteed to fulfil expectations.
Our Critical strain is an indica-dominant variety that stems from stoning parents Afghani and Skunk. She maintained a short size and rarely exceeds 100cm in height. It has short internode spacing, which will eventually fill up with buds, making it the high-yielding specimen it is. Its small height also makes it suitable for those looking to grow in small spaces, for the more discreet growers.
Grown indoors, it will average 65-75 grams per plant and can easily hit 600 grams per square metre under a 600W light. Grown outdoors, it prefers a warmer climate such as in Spain, Italy, or California and, given the right conditions, will produce over 600 grams per plant. Due to its relatively short flowering time, it can be grown in more northern latitudes (UK, Netherlands); however, it will not reach its full potential as she would indoors.
No other plant from Royal Queen Seeds will yield as much in 7 weeks as Critical Feminized. This short flowering time makes it suitable for growers with a tight schedule. Commercial growers will be pleased with the results in sea/screen of green operations, as it delivers large yields with very little maintenance.
The final key to a good commercial crop is a solid smoke; it wouldn't make sense to have such a high-yielding plant with no power in the puff. Therefore, we are glad to say that Critical offers just as much in the stone as it does in the yield. It brings a nice stoned effect which mellows you down into a relaxed vibration.

Strain FAQ
Why are short-flowering strains popular?
Strains that flower in 55 days are popular for reducing the time investment necessary or in setups with limited space. Their rapid response to different environments lets legal growers maximise yield quickly.
Why do strains ready by the end of September mature quickly?
These strains mature quickly due to genetic adaptations from cooler, northern parent strains. This mix of genetics speeds up flowering and maturation, leaving them complete just in time for autumn.
What are some significant indica terpenes and their effects?
Indica strains can have terpenes like myrcene, which is is said to be a sedative, and linalool, which is said to calm. These create the "couch-lock" effect, making indica strains most desired for deep relaxation.
Why is pest resistance especially important for cannabis strains legally grown in greenhouses?
When cannabis calls a greenhouse home, it's in a unique spot that's part cozy shelter, part natural world. This can be a double-edged sword, as the enclosed space might invite pests and mold to settle in. Strains that bring natural resistance to these unwelcome guests are said to be key players in a greenhouse setup, cutting down the need for harsh chemical pesticides and keeping things clean and green.
What impact on taste and flavour will this strain's South American genetics bring?
Fresh, fruity, and floral terpenes characterise South American cannabis strains. Connoisseurs and medical users are said to love these unusual, deep flavours.
