Critical +2
Also known as: Critical Plus 2, Critical Plus Two
Critical +2 Strain Overview
Critical +2 is a modern cannabis strain developed by Dinafem Seeds as an enhanced version of their original Critical+ strain. This hybrid was created through selective breeding to improve upon the characteristics of its predecessor while maintaining the desirable traits that made Critical+ popular among both growers and consumers. The strain represents a significant advancement in cannabis genetics, combining robust growth patterns with consistent cannabinoid production.
Visually, Critical +2 plants are characterized by their dense, resinous buds that often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that indicates high cannabinoid content. The plant structure is generally bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques to maximize yield.
Notable features of Critical +2 include its balanced genetic profile that leans slightly toward indica dominance, resulting in effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity. The strain has gained recognition for its reliability in cultivation and consistent performance across different growing environments. Its enhanced genetic stability compared to the original Critical+ makes it a preferred choice for commercial growers seeking predictable results while maintaining the distinctive flavor profile that characterizes the Critical lineage.

Critical +2 Strain Growing Information
Critical +2 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields can reach 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where environmental factors can be optimized. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors, often reaching 180-220 cm. Critical +2 responds well to training techniques such as SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) to maximize light exposure and yield.
Special considerations include maintaining proper ventilation to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate support during late flowering as buds become heavy. The strain is relatively resistant to common pests and diseases but benefits from preventive measures. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
