Critical Kush

Critical Kush is a genetic gem that blends the best of both worlds: Critical Mass from Holland and OG Kush from the USA. This strain, created by Barney’s Farm, has earned a prominent place in the cannabis world thanks to its impressive genetic lineage.

Our Critical Kush marijuana seeds allow you to grow a plant that combines the best qualities of its parents. From Critical Mass, it inherits high yields and robustness. From OG Kush, it gets its potency and complex terpene profile. The result is an exceptional strain that offers an unforgettable experience both in cultivation and consumption.

Visually, the Critical Kush plant is a spectacle. It has a typical Christmas tree structure, with strong, well-distributed branches. Its buds are large, dense, and resinous, adorned with vibrant orange pistils and a layer of glistening trichomes that look like a fine layer of crystalline snow. The color of the buds ranges from light mint green to darker green, with purple hues that stand out under the right light.

Discretion is another strong point of this strain. Although quite fragrant during flowering, its moderate height and ability to adapt to small spaces make it ideal for discreet grows. Additionally, its dense, resinous buds are perfect for producing high-quality concentrates.

Flavor and Effects

Critical Kush is not only a feast for the eyes but also for the senses. As you approach, the earthy and spicy aroma envelops you, transporting you to a pine forest with a hint of fresh citrus. Each inhale reveals a taste of earth and spices, followed by a sweet aftertaste that delights the palate. It could easily be called Critical Lemon Kush for its distinct and potent flavor.

Critical Kush buds have a THC content ranging from 15% to 20%, guaranteeing a potent and relaxing high. The effects start with a gentle euphoria that melts away any trace of stress, followed by a deep body relaxation that eases pain and tension. Ideal for the end of the day, this indica hybrid is a great ally for combating insomnia, providing restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Terpenes in Critical Kush

Critical Kush stands out not only for its cannabinoids but also for its rich terpene profile. The terpenes present in this strain include Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Alpha-Pinene.

Myrcene is known for its sedative properties and earthy, musky aroma, ideal for promoting relaxation and sleep. This terpene is primarily responsible for the sedative and relaxing effect that characterizes Critical Kush.

Beta-Caryophyllene adds a spicy, peppery touch and is also a potent anti-inflammatory, perfect for those suffering from chronic pain or arthritis. This terpene is known for its therapeutic benefits, helping to reduce pain and inflammation.

Alpha-Pinene adds fresh, pine notes and is known for its bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a great ally for those with asthma. This terpene also improves memory and alertness, balancing the relaxing effects of the other terpenes.

The combination of these terpenes not only enriches the aroma and flavor of Critical Kush but also enhances its therapeutic effects, offering a complete experience that goes beyond what other hybrids can offer. Users describe their experience with Critical Kush as a sensation of “floating happiness” that dispels negativity and provides long-lasting relief from stress and pain.

Yield and Flowering Time

Critical Kush is a strain that stands out for its production efficiency and relatively short flowering time, making it an ideal choice for both novice and professional growers.

Indoors, Critical Kush has a flowering time of about 55 to 60 days. During this period, the plants develop dense, resinous buds that fill the space with their characteristic aroma. In optimized grows, you can expect yields between 18 and 23 ounces per square yard. Even less experienced growers can easily achieve around 16-18 ounces per square yard.

Outdoors, Critical Kush shows its full potential when planted in a spot with plenty of sunlight and good management practices. The plants reach a height of about 6.5 to 8 feet, making them manageable and discreet. Harvest typically takes place in late September, just before the colder weather arrives. Outdoor yields can reach between 25 and 32 ounces per plant, offering a substantial reward for the effort invested.

Growing Critical Kush is not only rewarding in terms of production but also in the quality of the final product. Its buds, covered in bright trichomes, are visually impressive and packed with potent cannabinoids and terpenes, ensuring a satisfying and therapeutic experience.

With proper care and conditions, Critical Kush will provide you with a bountiful, high-quality harvest in a relatively short time, becoming one of your garden favorites.

How to Grow Critical Kush

Critical Kush is a strain that offers a rewarding growing experience for both beginners and experts. Although relatively easy to grow, there are some considerations to keep in mind to maximize its potential and ensure a successful harvest.

The growing difficulty of Critical Kush is moderate. Its plants are robust and compact but require attention and care to avoid common issues like mold and pests. Its resistance to diseases is notable, making it easier to manage in various growing conditions.

For the best results, we should grow Critical Kush in a warm, semi-humid climate. The ideal daytime temperature should range between 68°F and 80°F, with a 7°F to 9°F difference at night. It is crucial to maintain the relative humidity at 55%-60% during the vegetative phase, reducing it to about 40% during the flowering phase, and finally to 30% at harvest time.

Critical Kush shows good resistance to pests and diseases. However, we should be vigilant for possible infestations and ensure proper growing practices to keep our plants healthy. Using quality substrates can help improve the overall health of the plants.
