Critical Purple Kush is not too dissimilar to the Critical plant except for the fact that it is a little but taller and has a longer inter-nodal length. It was bred by crossing Blueberry, Critical and Peyote Purple and is 80% indica.
This plant can reach a height of 250 - 300 cm. when grown in the ground outdoors where it will be ready to harvest at the end of September or early October in northern latitudes. Each plant can yield between 600 - 800 gr. each in this environment. Indoors flowering takes about 60 - 65 days producing 400 - 500 gr/m2. The branches of this strain are rather spondly and it is strongly recommended to tie/train them in order to stop the large, spongy, purple buds from snapping them. Not all of the plants will turn purple but the best results colour-wise will occur when the night temperatures fall markedly from those of day-time.
The taste combines pineapple and forest fruit flavours along with with little nuances of lemon and Skunk derived from the Critical component. THC production is high with low CBD. The effect is extremely physically relaxing and it is recommended for medical usage.

Strain FAQ
How do breeders make pineapple-flavored cannabis?
Matchmaking with sweet, fruity parent strains is key. Breeders can focus on pineapple overtones over several generations by selecting and crossing breeds with fruity or tropical scents. Like a good recipe, patience and accuracy are said to be needed to make the right pineapple combination.
Why do strains finish at the Beginning of October?
These genetically engineered strains flower earlier to prevent late fall cold and shorter days. Northern legal producers use it to ensure their plants finish their cycle in time to avoid seasonal environmental issues.
Are strains with Central American and Caribbean heritage better at certain elevations?
Cannabis strains from higher elevations in Central America are affected differently by the large range of elevations. Cooler temperatures and higher UV light increase trichome production in these strains. Environmental stress can increase cannabinoid and terpene levels.
