Critical Mass 33
Also known as: Critical Mass #33, CM33
Critical Mass 33 Strain Overview
Critical Mass 33 is a specific phenotype of the original Critical Mass strain, which was developed by the renowned breeder Mr. Nice Seedbank. The original Critical Mass strain was created by crossing an Afghani indica with a Skunk #1, resulting in a strain that won multiple Cannabis Cup awards in the 1990s. Critical Mass 33 represents one of the most prized expressions of this genetic lineage, selected for its exceptional resin production and consistent growth characteristics.
This strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that are typically light to medium green in color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that reflects their high resin content. The plant structure is typically bushy and compact, with broad leaves that are characteristic of indica-dominant genetics. Critical Mass 33 is particularly noted for its impressive yield potential, which has made it popular among both commercial and home growers.
Notable features of Critical Mass 33 include its relatively short flowering time compared to other high-yielding strains and its resilience to common growing issues. The strain has maintained popularity over decades due to its reliable performance and consistent effects. While not as widely available as some modern hybrids, it remains a respected cultivar among connoisseurs and growers who appreciate classic genetics with proven track records.

Critical Mass 33 Strain Growing Information
Critical Mass 33 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. This strain is known for its impressive yields, producing 500-600 grams per square meter indoors and up to 600 grams per plant outdoors under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Critical Mass 33 tends to stay relatively short for an indica-dominant strain, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the heavy buds during late flowering and maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense flower structure. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
