pics and thoughts on Critical Mass. I guess I don't know where to begin except by starting off by saying it also was a joy to grow and is definatley a good time when it comes to the smokin part. The genitics in this line are far less stable then others. Even many of the seedlings looked like freaks to a point, until they got about a 8 inches tall. The stretch of these are crazy outdoors when flowering begins, which may bring a little hassle to the whole indoor aspect of the strain.
There are 2 phenos that made it!. One "my fav" you could smell skunk bud about 40 yards before you even got to it. The buds on this pheno really let the afgani shine threw. I am very happy at how stoned I am able to get off it, the Buzz has the ability to become extreme if you can take more than 4 toke- but good luck, I can only take 4 hard tokes Max before my lungs close up for a few minutes " I have healthy lungs to" so it aint me. This pheno along with the trainwreck are in the top 2.
Now the much bigger, later finishing,candy smelling pheno is also something to take a look at. I am going to tell you right off the bat that this pheno does not have the stopping power as its sibling counterpart. But what it does have is a very mellow video gaming,lunch break, all around can smoke it all day long buzz. The smoke is much easier to take down then the sibling and it also smells and taste danker then dank. I do like this pheno as well, it is the bud you can grab anytime and be happy. The smell has finished out to be a very jelly jam smooth aroma. The taste is almost like a candy jam. I was a bit concerned after 2 weeks of drying and it still was just a little harsh on the throat, Well week 3 past, and the harsh taste at the end of the exhale is gone! "this also might have to do with the MG ferts used"?
In short Critical Mass is in the top 2! I will work with this strain in the future with as much if not more, enthusiasm as trainwreck. As most of you know this year was all about me, next year I am growing a little for them. I starting a batch of CM F-2 seeds in Dec. Going to find the stinky afgani pheno in the batch and run clones next year! Enough clones to GET ER DONE! mmm 2012
A couple more things I need to add- that skunky cm was done on sept 20, the dank cm was done oct 10. This being the main reason I am running with skunky cm clones insted of trainwreck. the trainwreck was not done until end sept, early oct. And we are going for solid weight and secuirity in the woods "faster you get them outta there, the safer you and your dope are". those 2 facts right there are why CM skunky pheno is 1, if you are growing for the money. Grade A taste Grade A stone too IMHO.
