What is the Critical Plus strain?
Critical Plus is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Critical Plus is a Spanish hybrid developed by Dinafem Seeds through the breeding of Big Bud and Skunk No. 1 strains, producing a well-balanced and award-winning hybrid. The strain first hit the spotlight in 2005 when it won the first Highlife Cup in Barcelona and has since gained popularity in the US, specifically in the Pacific Northwest and Desert Southwest. Critical Plus is an evenly balanced hybrid of the famed Skunk and Big Bud with a 50:50 sativa/indica ratio.
The strain is characterized by medium yields after an average 55 day flowering period, producing buds that are bright green with orange, reddish hairs and a thin layer of glistening amber-hued trichomes. Critical Plus is a proud descendant of the infamous Big Bud and Skunk strains which have greatly influenced its overall profile. Thanks to its Big Bud genetics, Critical Plus is capable of producing large yields and some of the largest buds of any cannabis plant. Bred by Dinafem Seeds, Critical Plus features flavors like woody, pungent, and skunk with lemon zest coming through first, accented by some sour pungency from the Skunk parent, and on exhale, users describe a chemical tang like the taste of lemon-scented cleaner.
