Critical Poison
Also known as: Critical Poison Auto
Critical Poison Strain Overview
Critical Poison is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish seed bank Philosopher Seeds. This strain represents a cross between two well-established genetics: Critical Mass, a legendary indica-dominant hybrid known for its high yields and relaxing effects, and an undisclosed Poison phenotype, likely referencing the 'Poison' family of strains known for their potent effects. The combination was designed to create a plant with the robust growth characteristics of Critical Mass enhanced by the potency and distinctive flavor profile of the Poison lineage.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. Flowers often display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that may emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that indicates their potency. Critical Poison is noted for its balanced growth structure that combines traits from both parent strains, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
While specific historical documentation about its development timeline is limited, Critical Poison has gained recognition among cultivators for its reliable performance and among consumers for its well-rounded effects. The strain represents a continuation of the Critical family's legacy while incorporating the distinctive characteristics of the Poison genetics, creating a unique profile that has maintained a consistent presence in the cannabis market since its introduction.

Critical Poison Strain Growing Information
Critical Poison is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training. Yields are generally generous, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions and outdoor plants producing 500-700 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it benefits from a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Critical Poison responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. The plants have good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper ventilation is recommended during flowering due to the dense bud structure. An autoflowering version is also available with a shorter total life cycle of approximately 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest.
