Critical Orange Lights Strain Overview
Critical Orange Lights is a photoperiod cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Philosopher Seeds. This strain represents a carefully crafted cross between Critical Orange Punch and a selected phenotype of the original Critical Lights. The breeding program aimed to combine the robust growth characteristics and high yields of Critical genetics with the distinctive orange terpene profile and balanced effects of Orange Punch varieties.
The strain produces medium to large plants with a bushy structure and dense, resinous buds. The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes and adorned with bright orange pistils. The foliage tends to be dark green with broad leaves characteristic of indica-dominant genetics. Critical Orange Lights is known for its relatively short flowering period and generous yields, making it popular among both commercial and home growers.
Notable features include its pronounced citrus aroma with sweet, fruity undertones and earthy base notes. The strain's balanced genetic profile results in effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity, making it suitable for various times of day. Critical Orange Lights has gained recognition in European cannabis circles and has been featured in several grower competitions and cannabis publications.

Critical Orange Lights Strain Growing Information
Critical Orange Lights is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants usually reach 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and supporting heavy colas during late flowering.
