Critical Chaze
Also known as: Critical Chaze OG
Critical Chaze Strain Overview
Critical Chaze is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two well-established varieties: Critical Mass and Chaze. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the robust growth characteristics and resin production of Critical Mass with the cerebral effects and distinctive flavor profile of Chaze. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Critical Chaze has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex terpene profile.
The plant typically displays characteristics of both parent strains, with dense, resinous buds that often exhibit a combination of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Critical Chaze tends to produce medium to large-sized colas with a compact structure, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Notable features of Critical Chaze include its relatively fast flowering time compared to some other hybrids and its adaptability to different growing conditions. The strain maintains a reputation for delivering consistent effects that balance physical relaxation with mental stimulation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

Critical Chaze Strain Growing Information
Critical Chaze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate when cultivated outside. Indoor plants usually reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm or more under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers typically harvesting 400-500 grams per square meter. Critical Chaze requires good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and benefits from regular nutrient feeding during the vegetative stage.
