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
How are South American strains pest- and disease-resistant?
South American cannabis cultivars are said to be resistant to pests and illnesses due to their wide variety of environmental adaptations. They are ideal for breeding programmes that aim to strengthen cannabis plants due to their resilience.
How do early-finishing strains handle cooler temperatures and less light?
Due to genetics, these strains are said to be resistant to chilly air and less sunlight. They reportedly thrive and yield well even in poor growing conditions because of their resilience.
How do high-yielding strains make use of light?
They're champions at photosynthesis, efficiently converting available light into plant growth. This trait is said to be crucial for maximizing yields in both outdoor and indoor environments, where making the most of light can significantly impact plant development.
How do feminized cannabis strains work?
A particular breeding method removes male chromosomes from feminised cannabis plants. Feminised seeds result in plants that are nearly always female (99%) and ready to produce THC and CBD-rich buds. It works like magic to give producers flower-producing plants!
Why could indoor collectors prefer 12/12 photoperiod strains?
12/12 photoperiod strains save energy as lighting is only required half the time. The balanced daylight-nighttime cycle mimics the natural day cycle and lowers electricity bills. This is especially important for larger grow operations.
