Critical Kush

If one were to look for an exceptional mostly Indica hybrid, then OG Kush should be an attractive option. Deemed a legend in the United States, its genetics have contributed to numerous others that went on to become classics. Boasting of not-so-subtle mental stimulation, it soon follows it up with an exceptional full-bodied high that brings one to a state of nirvana. Nonetheless, there is no one perfect cannabis strain. Hence, the introduction of Critical Mass in its genes improved one of its traits.Critical Mass is unique in that it delivers insanely large buds. However, the plant itself is not sturdy enough to support it. Hence, its cultivation is a bit more difficult.In crossing the two strains, the offspring retained most of its Kush heritage with a twist. The feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis sprouts and grow into sturdy plants that have a massive yield.Growing Critical Kush from Feminized SeedsCritical Kush grows to an average height of 100-100cm. While it is not a tall plant, it does get bushy. And, to promote more lateral branching, topping it early is one of the things growers could do.It thrives equally well in the indoor or outdoor environment. Either way, trellising is highly recommended to further improve its yield. Because these are feminized seeds, it can better withstand the stress brought on by trimming and pruning compared to regular seeds. At the same time, some of the cuts could also be cloned.As the plant stretches and grows more bud sites, and later on during the flowering period, growers will also have to ensure a good air flow not only in the grow space, but also in the lower branches by regularly trimming the fan leaves or a bit of bending and tying. Such practice not only allows for better humidity control but also consistency. As a result, it is unlike for molds or mildew to become a problem.Critical Kush takes 9 to 10 weeks to flower. Once ready, it can provide some 600 grams of buds per square meter. And, in the outdoors, the harvest time usually occurs in mid to late October. In a climate similar to the Mediterranean, it has the potential to deliver up to 650 grams per plant.Fragrance and FlavorCritical Kush is not only all about its full-bodied high or incredible yields. Another notable trait is the smell of pine and lemon with a sweet note. Unless one knows better, it would not be surprising that some people mistake it for OG Kush. At any rate, the fragrance carries over to its flavor profile and accentuated by the taste of wood with an herbal quality to it.EffectsCritical Kush is by and large a mostly Indica hybrid.
