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.

    • Advantages
      Fantastic! The effect is incredible. It grows like a bush.
    • Disadvantages
      The smoke is too strong for some!
    • General impressions

      I grew this strain indoors, using DWC and HPS lighting. I harvested about 1000g from 11 plants. It's now my favorite strain. Make sure you dry it thoroughly, as its aroma and flavor are intense. It grows like a Kush, without requiring any special attention. Once, I got so high I thought I was sick because I could hear every hit moving inside me. Afterward, I felt healed and cleansed.

    • General impressions

      Incredible strain! I've harvested maximum yields from every plant, and they've grown to 2.5 meters tall! I swear, every time, I get at least two or three gigantic plants. However, the plants are very sensitive and easily get sick; they need close monitoring and a monthly pest control treatment. Despite this, the result is always super potent weed. The effect is among the strongest I've ever experienced: after just one hit, novices start getting paranoid and other things. Experienced cannabis users appreciate it, and these plants are essential for helping them overcome depression. Also, every time I try to grow it indoors, I end up with at least three or four indistinguishable phenotypes. I also think that indoors, it doesn't grow taller than 2 meters. As for outdoor growing, I could talk about it for hours: the tallest plant I've ever seen is 4.5 meters. I discovered this marvel in 2008; a friend was growing it in a vast swamp. Reaching the top was like stepping into a Bosnian pine forest! It seems obvious, but here's the thing: the taller the plant, the bigger the buds, and the higher the potency. Not rocket science, but it's often forgotten! Sometimes, you go deep into the jungle, you know, with trees over 3 meters tall, whose crowns are already starting to dry out; that's the time to begin harvesting. The effect and taste of an early harvest are excellent, but the potency needs to be at its peak.

    • Advantages
      This is my first grow! Four weeks after germination, I'm not fussy, temperature fluctuations don't bother me (I used to have them, but I live in Siberia). It started to smell bad, the filter was helpful, but only at the beginning. I ordered three more! I love it!
    • Disadvantages
      No negative effects.
    • General impressions

      Wow, that's awesome!

    • Advantages
      Mild flavor. Easy to grow. High yield. Compact plant, ideal for SOG cultivation. Powerful effect, consume in moderation!
    • Disadvantages
      It is very sensitive to light! Minor burns can affect it, but this does not alter the final result!
    • General impressions

      Flowering in 8 weeks, and with 4 weeks of vegetative growth, no worries: the buds are rock hard! The taste is slightly sweet with a strong citrus aroma. The effect is incredibly relaxing. Consume in moderation!
