Ive on my 5th indoor Critical Kush grow. If I was to summarize my experiences with them thus far ID say:
1-Very mold resistant: Ive had a few accidental floods, dehumidifier breakdowns and so on that brought my humidity level to 90 or so for several days. I never once had any mold and herb tested mold free by cc.
2-Very insect resistant: I live in the country and whether I like it or not moths come in on occasion and fruit flies (we do a lot of organic vegetable conserves). Though they will fly around and land on plants Ive never had to use anything other then a mild soapy wash. Ive NEVER had tripes or Spider Mites (knock on wood)
3-Very prone to becoming hermaphrodites: These girls like it strict, 12-12 no f-ups. If you are unfortunate like I was and forgot your lights on or forgot to set the timer for one cycle they will stunt and hermi out for sure.
4- Ready in 58 days flowering: Ive never had to go over 58 days of flower and time and time again they are ready at that point. I have a decent environmental controls setup which helps.
5- Tough strain, love to be in 5 gallon pots with coco. Ive grown Critical Kush in DWC but I prefer the coco.
6-Excellent yielder: On a bad run where things went wrong I would average 1.75 ounces per plant but when using CO2, no light mishaps, no environmental breakdowns you can hit 4-5 OZ per plant. I would put my overall average after 5 grows at 3.25 onces, bone dry. I put 4 plants per 1000W
8- Another reason I love growing Critical Kush is its pretty much odorless when growing. I had had to use many carbon filters while growing lemon skunk, white widow, chesse, super lemon haze etc but this genetic I don't even have my carbon filter hooked up yet when you smoke it...mmmmm so so good.
Smoke review: Critical Kush does not dissapoint. Very resinous, ideal for hash or honey oil its a true stoner. Deep body buzz,..can know you out of your in that mode or can motivate if your in that mood. Very versatile smoke that never becomes bland and blah. I use Critical Kush for my insomnia and extreme back pain its it works better than any genetic Ive tried. this is just my point of view however.Smell fantastic up to the roach. Always a challenge finishing a joint alone in 1 go.
I highly recommend this strain. Having been growing for 9 years and many herbs come and go. Im sticking with this as my sure thing and always accepting any recommendations for other excellent genetics from all you cats. Peace
