Critical Cheese Automatic
Also known as: Critical Cheese Auto, Critical Cheese Autoflowering
Overview
Critical Cheese Automatic is an indica-dominant hybrid autoflowering strain created by crossing Critical, Cheese, and Ruderalis genetics. Originally derived from the iconic UK Cheese strain that became a household favorite worldwide, this autoflowering version was developed by Zamnesia Seeds to provide an easy-to-manage variety that retains all the qualities of its photoperiod predecessor but is ready to harvest in just 10 weeks. The strain encapsulates everything that made the original Cheese strain prolific and well-loved, harnessing its skunky flavors, pungent aroma and knockout high, producing exceptionally potent effects that induce a strong and gratifying body stone of both longevity and depth.
Critical Cheese Automatic grows to a relatively compact size (around 1 meter) making it suitable for all types of cultivation and providing the added benefit of being very stealthy and discreet. When grown to its full potential, the strain is capable of yielding around 120-150 grams per plant. The variety is resilient and can thrive in various conditions, but truly flourishes when grown in warmer climates such as Spain or Italy, requiring a warm Mediterranean climate with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal growth. The strain's typical Cheese aroma combined with its deeply relaxing and euphoric effects that provide a full body high and promote a sense of calm while alleviating stress and tension makes it popular for both recreational and medicinal use.

Growing Information
Critical Cheese Automatic has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks from germination, going from seed to harvest in just 10 weeks. Indoor yields are typically 425-475g/m² with plants reaching heights of 60-100cm indoors and 80-120cm outdoors, producing 120-150g per plant outdoors. The strain is beginner-friendly as it is incredibly manageable, doesn't require excessive treatment, and is very easy to grow. For optimal yields, growers recommend an 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule, with some suggesting a 20/4 cycle for maximum production. The strain requires a warm Mediterranean climate with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C), is resilient but consistent warmth is key, and proper drainage is essential to avoid root problems from excess moisture. Not being particularly resistant to moisture makes it more suited to warm climates or greenhouses.
