Critical Fast Version
Critical Fast Version
Also known as: Critical Mass Fast Version, Critical Mass Fast, Critical Plus Fast
Overview
Critical Fast Version is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa) that results from crossing Critical Mass with a Secret Hybrid Auto, though some sources indicate Afghani and Skunk genetics. This strain has an intriguing origin story, primarily stemming from Europe, particularly the Netherlands, which is renowned for its expertise in cannabis breeding. The strain was developed to maximize yield and potency through a meticulous selection process, combining speed and productivity for both commercial and personal growers.
Critical Fast Version distinguishes itself through its exceptionally quick flowering time of just 6 to 7 weeks, which is at least a week faster than regular photoperiod strains without compromising on yields. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with vibrant colors including shades of green and orange, coated in a thick layer of trichomes giving them a frosty appearance. This Fast Version typically has higher CBD content than regular Critical versions, which may improve its medicinal potential. The plant maintains the distinguished lineage tradition of the Critical family, known for producing humongous buds.

Growing Information
Indoor cultivation produces flowering times of 6-8 weeks with yields of 400-500g/m² (1.31-1.64 oz/ft²). Outdoor cultivation harvests in early to mid-September with yields of 300-1000g per plant. The strain thrives best in Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures between 68-78°F (20-25°C). Critical Fast Version is resistant to most pests and mold, making it suitable for beginners. Plants grow to medium height and respond well to techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST). It can adapt to elevations up to 1000 meters and requires adequate precipitation of 500-1000mm per year with well-draining soil. The strain is considered easy to grow with low maintenance requirements and ability to handle various growing conditions.
