Critical Dynamite
Also known as: Critical Dynamite Auto, Critical Dynamite CBD
Critical Dynamite Strain Overview
Critical Dynamite is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Dinafem, which was founded in the late 1990s and became known for its stable genetics and commercial varieties. The strain represents a strategic cross between two established lines: Critical Mass, a legendary indica-dominant hybrid known for its resin production and relaxing effects, and an undisclosed dynamite strain that contributes to its explosive growth characteristics and balanced effects. This combination was designed to create a plant with commercial appeal, combining high yields with manageable cultivation requirements and consistent quality.
The strain typically produces dense, compact buds with a classic indica structure, though it exhibits some sativa-like branching patterns. The flowers are often light to medium green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler temperatures, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its growth characteristics, with 'Critical' referencing its Critical Mass lineage and 'Dynamite' suggesting its potent effects and vigorous growth.
Critical Dynamite is considered a workhorse strain in the cannabis cultivation community, valued for its reliability and consistent performance across different growing environments. While not as famous as some boutique strains, it has maintained a steady presence in the European market particularly, where Dinafem established strong distribution networks before the company's legal troubles in 2021. The strain's balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications, though comprehensive scientific research on this specific cultivar remains limited.

Critical Dynamite Strain Growing Information
Critical Dynamite is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over its medium height (typically 100-150cm indoors, up to 200cm outdoors). The strain produces high yields of dense, resinous buds, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Critical Dynamite responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields and manage height. It prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with good resistance to common molds and pests, though adequate airflow should be maintained during flowering due to its dense bud structure. An autoflowering version is also available with a complete life cycle of 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest.
