Critical Mass Automatic
Also known as: Critical Mass Auto, Critical Auto Mass
Critical Mass Automatic Strain Overview
Critical Mass Automatic is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed from the classic Critical Mass, which itself originated from a cross between Afghani and Skunk #1 genetics. The automatic version was created by breeders seeking to combine the desirable traits of the original Critical Mass with the convenience and rapid growth cycle of autoflowering genetics. This strain maintains the indica-dominant characteristics of its parent while incorporating the autoflowering trait from ruderalis genetics, allowing it to flower based on age rather than light cycle.
The plant typically displays a compact, bushy structure with dense, resinous buds that are characteristic of its Afghani heritage. The flowers often exhibit a range of green hues with occasional purple undertones, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile combines earthy, skunky notes with sweet undertones, reflecting its genetic lineage. Critical Mass Automatic is known for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth from seed to harvest in 8-10 weeks.
Notable features include its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions, making it suitable for novice cultivators. The autoflowering nature eliminates the need for light cycle manipulation, simplifying the cultivation process. While maintaining many characteristics of the photoperiod Critical Mass, this automatic version sacrifices some yield potential for the convenience of its growth characteristics. The strain has gained popularity among home growers seeking a reliable, easy-to-cultivate indica with consistent effects.
