Words on Critical + (Dinafem)

I'm in Spain and we know all about Critical as IT'S OURS !! I like Dinafem but in every pack there will be a runt seed. I've got their Power Kush on the go. Have done critical jack in the past. My first grow was critical , pictured in My Album. Why not take a look at Kritical Bilbo from Genethiks.

I love Serious Seeds and had a lovely white Russian and double Dutch in the garden. Also tried their Chronic.

hows the chronic compared to the original critical mass? I almost bought that one but I saw a lot more grows of the cm and they all looked nice but I haven't really seen much chronic grows on the net.

Hello Darling!

If I hadn't grown them all from seed and at the same time it'd be hard and not exact to say - however I did !!! All in my first grow, al the same veg, 11L pots, same food, PH ETC. the Chronic gave me 70g and I had 6 plants under a 600W. The other critical gave me 40-60g. I wish they'd all been Chronic and I wish I'd done 8 per light. So it could have been 70g x 8 = 560g on my first grow !! Yeah baby!! I knew I was on to something after that and now look!!


I forgot to add that Chronic will take over a week longer and is more sensitive than crit.

This critical + is the truth as far as easy grow with little stress. I get 50 gram a plant consistently with hardly any fan leaves and very dense resinous buds. Super easy trim and cures well without musking up the jar or molding. This plant has very little stretch. Without a doubt the easiest plant I ever grew. Just got done with Dr. Green thumbs The Dope and Millenium Bud. Also did CC Tahoe OG. Critical + is the only one I decided to make mothers out of...

No i vegged her for like 9 weeks. Shes huge. Almost 5 1/2 ft tall. Im starting to get a few amber trichs now... But itll be atleast 65 days before its even close to done...

Thats odd you have such a large critical +... I have mothers that dont even want to approach 2 1/2 feet at about eight weeks in veg right now. She stays short for me and her buds are super dense.

I've grown out dinafems critical jack and it was amazing! Good yields and resin production.

Here is a pic of my critcal jack

well there you go... She is 5' 9 1/2" that was taken 11 days ago and i would say she has grew another 3" since then shes drinkin a gallon a day. Usin GH nutes mildly aggressive feedings... And thats general hydroponics nutes. Floramicro, floragrow and florabloom. Using distilled water and 5ml cal/mag every other ffof soil. With added perlite and bone meal and dried blood meal amended in the soil in final 5 gal bucket. Lined with panties hose, and have 1/2" holes drilled all over bucket acts jus like airpot my root system is huge and when i chop it ill post a pic of it.

Thats even more odd now that you describe your plant more. From what I have noticed about my Critical + is that it stays short and grows slowly during veg. Hardly stretching braches or the top. "My plant" and this is one of the main reasons I created mothers with her is that she hardly drinks any water what so ever and this is wonderful considering I grow hydroponically. Also to note her roots are a little on the scragely side. I mean they look nice and white and all but no where near the amount of rootage I have with any other strain.These are probably the least developed roots I have ever witnessed on a plant.

We just have totally opposite plants if you base it on characteristics...

Well mine is a dinafem critical+ i can show you a copy of the order from attitude. And mine has a ubmistakablly fruit smell with sum light skunk undertones... All my side branch colas r the size of pop cans now. Im also running g13 labs pineapple express, and then next i havent decided. I got white widow, og kush #1 and #18. Kandy kush, cataract kush, dr. Grinspoon, critical jack herer, auto cheese, blue hash, blue dream haze, and rambo aka lambo..

Ive looked all over and only found two grows, of critical one bein done in 50 days, and one done in 12 weeks. Those are the only two different phenos ive read about. Or that i can find. Have you finished one yet. If so how long did it go? Was the smoke decent? Weight ?? Lighting?? Im running right now 1000w hps above and two 320w mh for side 2ndary lighting....

My Critical+ is also from Dinafem, I used a hydroponic power grower. Veged for thirty days and flowered for like 45 and it was done. Veged under a single highoutput T5 bulb. Flowered under a 8 bulb T5 while only using four bulbs. Still got tremendous dense buds. 50 grams dry. I speculate if I veg longer I can get more bud. Just did it simple the first go around. Currently have four strong mothers in power growers at the moment and 12 clones getting ready to root to go in a dwc bubbleponics systems. Im not worried about the clones but I truly cant wait til I decide to flip those moms. Oh I forgot the smoke report. I dont smoke=ounevinsmoke. It has good bag appeal and smell and overall look that make it easy to sell though. No complaints either.

Gotcha well tomorrow is my day 44 of flower. The 17th is 45 days and the 22nd is is 50 days, so i hope its done by then i got 3 pe clones ready to go.in place of the critical under the 1000w hps. I hope i have good luck with it like i have the critical. It was my first femmed seed. Ive grew a bunch of bag seeds with great results. So i figured might as well grow something worth my time. And attitude hada killer promo in june. So i had to order stuff. And my lil hobby has become an obession. So my with says. She also says i pay more attention to them then i do her n our 2 month old son. Lol

i just germinated critical mass from MNS and i think i'm going to do a 12/12 grow using the entire ff line for nutes and ocean forest. im curious how i should feed since i'm essentially not doing a veg time beyond its natural first few weeks growth...any ideas? should i just feed normally with the schedule, or should i try to condense it? any ideas /suggestions would be great!

Oouch...that hurts and also you're being rude. What has to do the killing of the Aztecs & Incas with critical +...?

Yeah, truly stupid remarks... This guy surely has no clue that Shantibaba sources production of his genetics in Spain (he is English, started Mr. Nice in Holland, and lives in Switzerland). In fact, he told me himself that Critical has been to a great extent worked on and developed in Spain. Kritikal Bilbo dates back to the mid'90´s when Critical wasn´t even on the map and Northern Spanish breeders including Genehtik were fine-tuning a strain that has become an essential commercial variety. Not to mention that Dinafem are pioneers in feminization and are known in the seed industry (I wholesale seeds at the global level) for their incredibly high germination rates. In fact, does this clown realize that nowadays more than 60% of "Dutch" seeds are made in Spain, especially in the South and the Basque Country. So let´s keep xenophobic idiocy off the forum, please.

Well this is weird lol i just happen to be 3 weeks (roughly) from my 12/12 switch. Have not had any problems yet that has to do with the strain. Here are some pics let me know what you guys think or any suggestions. Its the two in the back and the one in front is a dinafem cheese so far so good. Very fruity skunk smell to them. Def need a carbon filter without a doubt. THEY STINK!!

I've found the 12 week phenotype; it purples just a little in the cold outside but lacks the fruity smell I usually associate with Critical+.. more of just a handsome, classic, stinky Skunk. The potency of Critical+ is, to me, only very impressive relative to the commercial-leaning yield; there's somewhat of a trade off in yield and potency, for the most part.

I think the yield/potency thing is just a general rule of thumb. Although you can get some mighty potent and high yielding F1's. Neville once posted he would blow people's minds with what's possible for potency, if bred for exclusively. But there are always so many other factors to consider.
