Critical Ganja
Also known as: Critical G, Critical Ganga
Critical Ganja Strain Overview
Critical Ganja is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern interpretation of the classic Critical family of strains. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, it is generally understood to be a cross between Critical Mass and an undisclosed indica-dominant strain, possibly an Afghani landrace variety. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a more potent and flavorful version of the original Critical Mass, which was itself a multiple Cannabis Cup winner known for its high yields and resin production.
Critical Ganja plants typically display a robust structure with dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain is noted for its relatively short flowering time compared to other hybrids, making it appealing to cultivators seeking efficient production cycles. Its aroma profile is complex, combining earthy base notes with sweet and sometimes spicy undertones.
This strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis communities for its balanced effects and reliable performance. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Critical Ganja has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its consistent quality and versatile effects. The name 'Ganja' in its title reflects its connection to traditional cannabis culture while distinguishing it from other Critical variants in the market.

Critical Ganja Strain Growing Information
Critical Ganja is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. It has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants typically reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, up to 2 meters outdoors) and respond well to both SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. It is moderately resistant to pests and diseases but requires good air circulation. Critical Ganja thrives in both soil and hydroponic systems and benefits from regular feeding during the vegetative stage.
