Strain overview: Produced by Barney’s Farm, Critical Kush was bred by crossing Critical Mass with OG Kush. Known for its spicy, earthy flavor and overwhelming yield, this strain remains popular among growers and consumers alike.
Grow techniques: Provide plenty of space for these plants when you grow them. Prune aggressively and trellis the branches so that the buds have room to fill in. Maintain low humidity while flowering and keep airflow up to prevent bud rot. Grow either hydroponically or in soil and keep the buds out of the rain if growing outside. Critical Kush is a great option for growing in greenhouses if you’re looking for a large harvest.
Flowering time: 8 weeks
Yield: High
Grow difficulty: Moderate
Climate: Prefers a temperate to hot climate between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Indoor/outdoor: Suitable for either indoor or outdoor gardens. Works well in greenhouses where humidity can be managed effectively.
Feeding: Feed heavily while flowering to keep the buds swelling. If using liquid nutrients, also top dress the soil to allow the plants to take in a diversity of flowering nutrients at their desired rate.
