Critical Kush is a powerhouse strain known for its impressive sedative effects and high THC content, often ranging from 18% to 25%. This strain is a result of crossing Critical Mass with OG Kush, created by the breeders at Barney's Farm. The blend is heavily Indica dominant, with a 90% Indica to 10% Sativa ratio. Its aroma is notably spicy and earthy, with a woody and herbal undertone that makes it stand out. The high from Critical Kush is deeply relaxing, often leading to a sleepy and hungry state, making it perfect for those looking to ease into a peaceful night or combat appetite loss. Recreational users enjoy it for its mellowing effects, while medical patients find relief from stress, pain, and anxiety. It's best consumed in calm environments where a strong, soothing effect is desired. Growers can expect a plant that flowers relatively quickly, typically within 7 to 8 weeks. The plant tends to be bushy with dense buds, characteristic of its Indica heritage. It thrives in warm, sunny climates where it can stretch out, but it can also be grown indoors with proper care. The plant's structure makes it a good candidate for techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. The harvest reveals tightly packed buds with a generous coating of trichomes, hinting at the strain's powerful effects.
