Critical Hog 5 seeds + 1 bonus
Critical Hog Seeds – Tennessee HOG × Critical Mass by T.H. Seeds
What is Critical Hog? Critical Hog by T.H. Seeds is a feminised, photoperiod and predominantly Indica-leaning hybrid of Tennessee HOG × Critical Mass. According to the manufacturer, it flowers for 8 weeks, grows 120 to 140 cm tall and yields 350 to 550 g/m². The breeder does not state a THC value. Large, dense flowers, a sweet-spicy, fruity aroma and a body-focused, relaxing effect are typical. The vigorously growing strain is considered low-maintenance and suits beginners and yield-focused growers, but needs good ventilation because of the dense flowers – in the cannabis seeds for beginners category. Available in a pack of 5 seeds + 1 bonus.

Genetics & Origin of Critical Hog
Critical Hog combines two award-winning lines: Tennessee HOG, called “The HOG” for short at T.H. Seeds, and Critical Mass from the Basque Country. For Critical Hog itself the breeder does not list any awards, but it does for the parents – the HOG as winner of the High Times Indica Cannabis Cup, Critical Mass as winner of numerous Spanish competitions. The cross was bred for yield: the plants grow vigorously and stably and form very large flower clusters. T.H. Seeds lists the strain as mostly Indica, without stating percentages; the manufacturer does not give THC and CBD values either. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the light cycle is switched. If you are looking for an autoflowering variant, you will find Auto Critical Hog by the same breeder with us.
Who Is Critical Hog For?
Critical Hog is designed for quantity with manageable effort – as long as the ventilation is right. It suits:
- Beginners looking for a low-maintenance, vigorously growing strain
- Yield-focused growers with a well-ventilated grow room
- Indoor gardeners who would like to harvest after 8 weeks of flowering and plan for a height of 120 to 140 cm
- Fans of classic Indica aromas between earthy, spicy and sweet
- Consumers looking for body-focused relaxation in the evening
It is less suitable for outdoor sites with a rainy late summer or autumn: the dense flowers are then at risk of mould. You can find more Indica-leaning strains under Indica strains.
Growing Critical Hog: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
T.H. Seeds gives a flowering time of 8 weeks and a yield of 350 to 550 g/m²; the breeder puts the height at 120 to 140 cm, without distinguishing between indoors and outdoors. The strain is described as very easy to grow and grows vigorously and stably. The tricky point is the climate: because of the massive, dense flower clusters, good ventilation is necessary. So ensure strong air circulation, sufficient air extraction and low humidity in the final weeks of flowering, and support heavy shoots. If you bear that in mind, you have a rewarding strain in Critical Hog that is also suitable for your first runs. You will find tips on this in the Growpedia for beginners.
Outdoor Growing
According to the manufacturer, Critical Hog is also high-yielding outdoors; T.H. Seeds does not state a harvest date or a yield per plant. The warning about late rain, by contrast, is clear: because of the dense flowers there is a risk of mould, and the plants should then be protected. An airy, sunny spot or a rain shelter therefore makes sense, and a careful look inside every large flower before harvest does no harm. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Critical Hog
For the aroma, T.H. Seeds gives three terms: fruity, pungent-spicy and sweet. This fits with the description as an earthy-spicy scent with a sweet note and a strong, classic Indica flavour. The manufacturer does not give individual terpenes or a lab profile. The effect is described as strongly physical and relaxing, and T.H. Seeds adds the terms happy, relaxed and uplifting – a strain for the end of the working day and quiet hours on the couch. The breeder does not publish a THC value; we therefore do not state a figure and do not estimate one either. With an unfamiliar strain, start with small amounts. How intense the effect is depends on dose and personal tolerance.
