Critical Kush Auto is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners and experienced cultivators alike. The autoflowering genetics eliminate the need for light cycle management, as plants automatically transition to flowering around week 5. Indoor cultivation yields 400-550g/m² with plants reaching 70-90cm in height, while outdoor plants grow to 80-110cm and produce 180-250g per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean-like conditions with temperatures between 68-79°F (25-28°C) and humidity levels of 60-70% during vegetative growth, reducing to 40-50% during flowering. Critical Kush Auto demonstrates excellent resistance to mold, mildew, and pests. Low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques work well to maximize yields. The complete life cycle from seed to harvest takes only 70-80 days, making it one of the fastest autoflowering options available. Plants prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with pH levels between 6.0-6.5.
