Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of Critical
In its own words, Royal Queen Seeds bred Critical with a single focus: productivity. The strain is a cross of Afghan and Skunk genetics; the data sheet lists Afghan S1 × Skunk S1. According to the breeder, what it has taken over from both sides is above all the short stature and the very fast flowering. The ratio is 60% Indica to 40% Sativa, the THC content 18%, and the CBD content is given as low. This variant is regular, photoperiod seed: male and female plants grow from it, which the manufacturer expressly names as an opportunity for experiments of your own. If you are looking for the Skunk direction on its own, you will find Skunk #1 in our range; another strain from the same breeder with Critical in its name is Critical Kush.
Who Is Critical For?
Critical is a dependable yield strain with a short flowering time. It suits:
- Yield-focused growers on a tight schedule
- Growers with smaller rooms in which several plants under 140 cm are to fit
- Hobby breeders who want to use male plants for their own crosses
- Outdoor gardeners in warm locations who would like to harvest in September
- Consumers who want to relax physically in the evening or on days off
If you want only female plants without any selection work or are looking for a stimulating daytime high, you are less well served by this strain. You can find more strains for outdoors under regular outdoor seeds.
Growing Critical: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Indoors, Critical flowers for 7 to 9 weeks and, at 80 to 140 cm, stays so low that several plants fit in a relatively small room. Royal Queen Seeds states 550 to 600 g/m². The breeder calls productivity and dependability the strain's greatest strengths and says it performs well in almost any environment. With regular seeds, it is best to germinate more seeds than the number of plants you will need later and determine the sex in pre-flowering; remove male specimens if no pollination is wanted. Heavy flowers reward good air movement. You will find the basics in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, according to the data sheet, Critical grows 180 to 220 cm tall and produces 600 to 650 g per plant; elsewhere the manufacturer speaks of specimens of up to 2 m. Harvest falls in the period from the 15th to the end of September. According to Royal Queen Seeds, the strain only shows its full potential in warmer climates, and the climate zone is given as “warm”. A sunny, sheltered spot is therefore the best choice. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Critical
Royal Queen Seeds describes the flavour of Critical as a balanced mix of earthy, fruity and piney notes; the data sheet adds Skunk and sweetness. The manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile. The smoke is considered solid and, according to the breeder, is suitable for a joint, pipe or vaporiser. The effect is body-centred: it lasts a long time and moves from the head into the body as it does so; the data sheet sums it up as “physically relaxing, heavy, stoned”. Royal Queen Seeds recommends the strain for days off or the evening hours. The THC content is 18%, and the CBD content is low. How powerful the effect turns out in each case depends on phenotype, dose and personal tolerance.
