The Critical Sour can be considered the next generation of hybrids from Female Seeds. Our goal was to create a very early maturing outdoor strain. Depending on your region she can finish as early as the beginning of September! A big producing strain covered in trichomes. A Maroc x Grapefruit mother was crossed with an inbred Auto NL x Auto NL x Auto Critical father to speed up flowering. This strain develops specific features clearly inherited from the mum and the Auto Critical genes. She is easy to grow as she is a very hardy plant. She stays shorter than any of our other outdoor strains. One in thirty plants can autoflower.
The Critical Sour is an indica-dominant strain, compact, with a sturdy and flexible stem, with wide internodes ready to stretch when kicked into flower. The average plant's flower-to-leaf ratio is impressive, with much more flower than leaves. It has a vigorous production of thick, resinous and dense buds. The buds grow long, quite slender. The open bud structure allows good air circulation and helps prevent mould in the final stages.
She has a very nice aroma; fruity, earthy and spicy. Critical Sour is not too smelly so perfect for stealth growing. The gentle and delicate taste while inhaling reminds you of the fabled pineapple pheno of the Grapefruit. A spicy/earthy hint is added due to the Maroc and the Auto NL genes help develop a very exciting palette.
The high can be described as an almost instant body-high. It combines the strength and couch-locking effect of the NL and Critical with the more tender and subtle high of the Maroc and Grapefruit. The high is therefore a sudden happy and uplifting high that wraps the entire body with its pleasant feeling.
She also provides good medical features since Auto NL is a natural pain reliever well known for helping against stress, anxiety, nausea or arthritis.

Strain FAQ
Cannabis' spicy flavours come from which terpenes?
Cannabis' spicy flavours come from terpenes such as Caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, limonene, and pinene. These terpenes contribute to the peppery, herbal, hoppy, and citrusy notes in cannabis.
Where do indica strains come from and how does this effect their development?
Indica strains come from the harsh Hindu Kush mountains on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. These plants are strong and durable because of the unforgiving climate they evolved in, which allows them to thrive even under poor conditions. They seem naturally equipped to manage tough terrain and hard times.
Are single cannabis seeds a sustainable option?
Single seed selections allow users to buy only what they need, promoting sustainable practices. This approach reduces waste and uses every drop of water, watt of light, and bit of space with care.
Why is legal indoor year-round production practiced?
This is simply because indoor legal grow chambers allow cannabis growing year-round. This freedom from seasonality allows legal growers to produce fresh cannabis year-round and harvest many times, which is obviously much more difficult under the open sky.
What are the benefits of feminised seeds?
Feminised seeds almost assure full female production, simplifying the growth process. Since male plants aren't removed, this efficiency saves space, water, and waste. A smarter, more sustainable method!
