Growing Tips for Critical

We recommend cultivating Critical in a mild, Mediterranean-like climate to achieve optimal growth. This strain has proven to be highly resistant to common pests and diseases, making it an excellent choice for outdoor setups or greenhouses, where pests can sometimes be an issue. Indoors, it’s important to limit the vegetative phase to around 10 days to prevent the plant from becoming too large, as Critical is known for its vigorous growth.

In terms of difficulty, Critical is relatively easy to grow and highly adaptable, handling various substrates and growing techniques with ease. However, due to the density and weight of its buds, we suggest using supports, especially in the final stages of flowering. What really stands out about Critical is its impressive productivity combined with low maintenance needs—perfect for those who want bountiful results without the fuss.
