It’s a flavor profile much expected from the momentCritical Plusplants begin to flower and flood the area with that distinctiveSkunkaroma.Though the faint citrus notes are present throughout for both the nose and tongue to savor, it’s hardly likely to be the main aspect of this hybrid on your mind while growing or consuming.Of course, there are those whose nose turns up at the description of a ‘skunky’ scent, however, far fewer fail to fall for this mouthwateringly sweet and sour, chemically profile in the long run.EffectsIn trueSkunkstyle,Critical Plusmakes her presence known with almost immediate clarity.A euphoric sense of uplifting energy sweeps the mind and body after but a few tokes, inducing a notably altered state of being in which you can expect surges of creativity and cases of uncontrollable chatting - an ideal companion for loosening the tongue at social gatherings!If you’re enjoying this strain with friends, be prepared for a serious case of the giggles - the kind which tends to extend far beyond anyone’s memories of what actually started everyone laughing (the best kind, of course).As the cerebral stimulation establishes more of a presence, you might even find yourself adrift in those wondrously pot-influenced philosophical conversations (if that’s your kind of thing!).Ultimately, the balanced Sativa and Indica influence ofCritical Plusplays off like a dream, delivering all thequintessential cannabis relaxationwhile electrifying the mind and never straying too close to couchlock.Of course, while this does makeCritical +a great strain for use any time of the day, don’t ever forget theSkunkgenetics at play here - it’s very possible to feel sluggish as the high tapers off or if used in excess, so play your cards well and try to keep the dosage down unless you’re on that sweet pre-bed joint.Medical Uses of Critical + FeminizedThanks to a positively artful balance between energy and relaxation,Critical Plushas an ever-growing fanbase among the medical marijuana masses.The uplifting nature of these buds lends itself well to mood modulation, whether it is caused from persistinganxietyorstress, or even simply the mid-afternoon slump, a dose ofCritical +can be just the ticket to turn any day around.Recapturing your motivation isn’t all, though, as these same tendencies are regularly sought and praised by sufferers of a great many unseen conditions, ranging fromdepressiontoPTSDandbipolar.As with most cannabis strains, this hybrid comes packed withanalgesic and anti-inflammatory propertieswhich make it a perfect choice for combating everything from minor to major pain, whether that’smigrainesor muscular aches, arthritis,multiple sclerosisor any similar condition.If a loss of appetite plagues you, this strain’s high might not bring on the most intense munchies of your life, but it’s sure to help.Likewise, if you’re struggling to sleep, whileCritical Pluscan be a great ganja boon that allows you to drift off, you’ll need to time your consumption right so that the high is petering out when it’s time for lights out.Growing Critical + Feminized SeedsThe Indica influence of theCritical Plus Feminizedgenetics takes over when it comes to the structure of these plants, meaning you can expect a crop which develops in a reasonably stout stature, favoring width over height (though optimal outdoor conditions can see plants reach up to 2 meters!).While this makes this hybrid strain ideal for indoor growing setups, you’ll want to keep in mind that head-turner of a stink these babies kick up -carbon filtersor similar odor control methods will serve you well if discretion is called for.Even though these beans arefeminized, novice cultivators should approach with caution, it’s not all sunshine and roses with these plants.First up, owing to theBig Budgenetics, these girls produce some seriously stonking buds. Those heavy colas makeCritical Plussusceptible to suffering under her own weight, meaning you need to be ready to implement some swift branch support with stakes ortrellisesas the plants bloom.Adding to the challenge, these plants aren’t the most resilient out there, so you’ll need to do everything in your power to makeenvironmental and humidity controla top priority if you want to see your crop safely to harvest. Thankfully, if any buds do succumb to mold, theenormous yield potentialshould counter any loss.For this reason (as long as you can disguise the “Here I am!” aroma, or don’t need to), it’s best to cultivate these feminized seeds indoors, where environmental control is that much easier. Aim for temperatures between 20 and 26°C and relative humidity between 40 and 50%.As always, choosing the right cultivation medium for you is an essential step before you get growing, but thankfully,Critical Plus Femdoes just beautifully whether grown inorganic soil, hydro or coco coir.Sea of Greensetups can see you to absolutely mammoth harvests, as can High Stress Training (HST) techniques like topping and trimming.After a roughly 7 to 8-week flowering period, indoor growers who’ve ticked all the boxes can expect up to 600 grams of these stinky bud beauties per square meter. Outdoor growers who aim for an early October harvest can expect closer to an astonishing1300 grams per plant!One final tip for the experienced - by subjecting these plants to cooler night-time temperatures it’s possible to encourage some princely purple hues from your buds. Keep in mind if this sounds appealing, this exciting coloring does nothing for the taste or potency of the weed and requires practised knowledge to avoid ruining your crop… but damn, purple buds pretty!SummaryThough this hybrid strain has less than 1% CBD content, don’t write offCritical Plusas a recreational-only strain.The high THC content and beautiful balance between Indica and Sativa genetics has created a high in these buds capable of satisfying a wide range of medical and recreational needs. Of course, if you have a low tolerance to THC, you might want to look elsewhere (or take it easy with low and controlled dosage).Growers will need some experience, guiding hands or intimate knowledge to get the maximum potential out of these beauties, but with a stinky dankness herSkunkparentage would be proud of and jaw-dropping yields,Critical Plusis worth it. Cannabis affects everyone differently. Your experience with this strain may not be the same as someone else’s. Growing conditions—including light, nutrients, and pot size—play a major role in shaping the plant’s yield, potency, and flavor profile. Results will always vary based on how and where it’s grown.
