One-Hit-Wonder Critical Purple. I have one only one word to describe this strain: "HEAVY". Definitely be bedtime buds - it knocks me out Every. Single. Time. It starts with a wave of calm and moderate body buzz; so you sit down. Then your eyes start to get heavy, and....then... you're...asleep. If you manage to fight yourself awake for the duration, you're in slow motion with basic functions being a pretty good challenge. If you manage it as a daily driver, prepare to be heavily dopey/stoned with lots of 'next day stupids'. But this isn't a strain review it's a growing review, so onward... After many years growing bonsai photos then of not growing at all, this was my first forray into autos. CP Appeared to be a pretty simple strain to grow, and would fit my medication needs for pain killing and sleep aid. As recommended, I didn't want to stress/stunt the plant and also wanted to see what these autoflowers (and this strain) would do with minimal training. Turns out, quite a lot! Although the plant probably could have used more food all around (will try 1/2 strength GMB+ 3/4 Calmag), and a bit more training to widen/flatten the canopy, Critical Purple has the potential to have MUCH tighter nugs. I ended up keeping the trimming pretty loose, it's SO sticky - coated with trichs and DRIPPING with resin. After cure smell is "1997 Nestea Iced Tea Crystals" - sounds odd but you know what I'm talking about, and it's fantastic (and accurate). I've read a few other journals here & there for CP, and it appears this blotching/rust/spotting is a thing - nobody has figured out what it is or what's causing it.

Neutral - I ran way under the recommended dosage and got great results, that could be the genetics, or could be the nutes. I won't be messing with the recipe much (I tried different ratios of G/M/B and it did NOT appear to help in any way.) It may have caused some of the spotting/issues that I ran into.

Trimmed wet mostly on-plant then chopped and hung. As a re-entry into growing after a long hiatus, this strain is an easy one for those with lots of patience. I've got 4 seeds left and will be runing it again, but 15+ weeks is a looooong time.
