Critical Orange Punch is an almost genetically balanced hybrid holding the gold medal for overall best strain in the 2019 edition of the Bud Bash & Cannabis Cup. This terpene-heavy strain holds medium THC levels up to 16% and results from crossbreeding Critical with Granddaddy Purple and Orange Bud. When considering growing this strain, you should know that these plants respond best to SCROG combined with regular defoliation and removal of the lowest branches, as ventilation and airflow are crucial. Yields can be extremely high, making them worth every minute of your time and dedication. The Critical Orange Punch flavor profile consists of citrusy fruit, think oranges, mandarin, and lemon, on a background of rich earthiness. Consumers are in for an energetic high with prolonged happy and gentle relaxation. Without overwhelming you or pushing you in any direction, this strain simply puts you at ease for hours on end. Due to its amazing blend of flavors and these effects, Critical Orange Purple is often chosen amongst medical patients seeking an alternative method to deal with depression, stress, and chronic fatigue.
