Critical Kush is a winning combination of huge yields and champion-level potency. It’s also a pure Indica – rather rare in this day and age where everything is hybridized. You’ll appreciate this weed’s smooth earthiness and its equally smooth stone, which will put an ear-to-ear grin on your face and make your couch seem like the happiest place on earth. A bowl of snacks and the remote next to your bong will complete this picture of a perfect evening after a long day.

Description

Critical Kush Strain Info

Critical Kush by Barney's Farm is a 100% Indica. With a THC level of 25%, simplicity in growing, and high resistance to temperature fluctuations, it’s a firm favorite of many growers.

Genetics

The lineage of Critical Kush isn’t markedly different from many of the most popular varieties on the market today. Her parents are Critical Mass and OG Kush, and their immediate predecessors include Skunk #1, Afghani, Hindu Kush, and an unknown strain from Northern California. The resulting mix of genes, however, is anything but ordinary.

THC And CBD Levels

Critical Kush boasts an incredible THC level of 25% to provide a long-lasting effect. Plus, although this strain wasn’t bred for high CBD content, it also turned out to be very rich in this therapeutic cannabinoid at 1.8%.

Smell And Taste

Though it doesn’t have a delicious-sounding name to lure users in with a promise of some sweet treat, this strain contains many tasty terpenes that give the smell notes of earth, herb, and fuel. Meanwhile, the flavor is intensely piney, with an aftertaste of lemons and tangerines.

Yields

As a cash-crop variety, Critical Kush can bring a generous 650g/m² (2.1oz/ft²) of smelly, dense, THC-rich buds in an indoor setup.

Flowering Time

55-60 days of flowering is an incredible speed, even for an Indica – yet another reason to choose this wonderfully rewarding strain.

Grow Tips

The Critical Kush strain has a relatively small size when cultivated indoors, reaching just 100cm (3.3 ft). When harvest time comes, the top of the plant becomes purple, and resinous buds covered in crystals begin to appear. The plant has a strong smell during the flowering period, so carbon filters will be a real help for indoor growers. Outdoors, Critical Kush can be cultivated throughout a temperate climate zone and is ready to harvest by the end of September.

  • Beware that high humidity can cause molding.
  • Defoliation and good ventilation are needed to prevent powdery mildew.
  • LST bending and ScrOG are the best ways to increase yields.

Critical Kush Seeds

This strain is 100% feminized, and though the price isn’t exactly low, rest assured that every penny spent on these seeds will be more than worth it. The genetics are really incredible, and you’ll harvest a generous amount of bud from every seed you plant.

    • General impressions

      Top-quality strain, an effect lasting over 4 hours with a mild cerebral stimulation, followed by a slight munchies. The second bowl was finished, and the effect was purely physical with a cerebral touch. No munchies, no "pillow" effect, a very relaxing effect. Robust plants, and all germinated. I highly recommend this strain! I love it! 10/10, a dream strain!

      Tip for beginners: it matures in 55 days. It's ideal for novices. It's difficult to comment on its effects, as I let it mature for a month in glass jars first. Its flavor is very pronounced and musky. It pairs perfectly with a cold beer. I put the bud in the refrigerator for an hour.

    • General impressions

      Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! This weed is just incredible! On the inhale, it tastes like fresh herbal tea, and on the exhale, a slightly sweet and sour flavor. The ash stayed completely white from start to finish, which is pretty rare. I used to smoke a lot of Critical Kush when I lived in Canada, and I think this is the closest thing to it around here. I really recommend you try it! It's a top-quality Indica. Believe me, once you smoke some of this weed, you won't be able to stop. I'm going to grow it again and make some live resin; the taste is simply irresistible!

      All 5 seeds have germinated! 👌 😍 ✅ 💪
    • Disadvantages
      May cause dry mouth
    • General impressions

      A very powerful stone effect (8/10) that helps you relax and forget your worries. Incredible, but true: the effect was the same on all 5 plants I tested. Even on those that were probably only two weeks old, the effect remained consistent. Very strong smell, easy to mask so far, but towards the end of flowering, even 2 or 3 air filters in the grow tent won't be enough. The main smell appears towards the end. Beautiful, dense buds. The effect is immediate. No crash, no couch-lock (10/10). Critical Kush seems to be a good strain to grow yourself. It's a pleasure to have and has the potential to become exceptional. Classic Indica stone effect: once a certain level is reached, the effect continues to intensify, even when smoking its deliciously flavorful buds.
