Critical Ryder
Also known as: Critical Ryder Auto, Critical Ryder Automatic
Critical Ryder Strain Overview
Critical Ryder is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by the seed bank World of Seeds. It represents a cross between two well-established genetics: Critical Mass, a potent indica-dominant hybrid known for its high yields and resin production, and Lowryder #2, one of the pioneering autoflowering strains that introduced the ruderalis genetics responsible for automatic flowering regardless of light cycles. This combination was specifically bred to create a robust, easy-to-grow autoflower with the desirable traits of its photoperiod parent.
The strain typically produces compact, bushy plants with dense, resinous buds. The flowers are often light to medium green in color, with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy and skunky notes inherited from Critical Mass with subtle fruity and diesel undertones. As an autoflower, Critical Ryder completes its entire life cycle from seed to harvest in a relatively short time, making it popular among growers seeking efficiency and simplicity.
Critical Ryder is noted for its balanced effects that lean slightly toward the indica side. Users commonly describe an initial cerebral uplift that gradually transitions into a relaxing body sensation. The strain's manageable potency and autoflowering nature have made it a staple choice for novice cultivators and those with space or time constraints. While not as famous as some flagship strains, Critical Ryder occupies a specific niche in the cannabis market as a reliable, productive autoflowering hybrid.

Critical Ryder Strain Growing Information
Critical Ryder is considered an easy-to-grow strain, particularly suitable for beginners due to its autoflowering genetics and resilience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically remain compact, reaching heights of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) indoors and slightly taller outdoors. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields averaging 350-450 grams per square meter and outdoor yields around 40-80 grams per plant. The autoflowering nature means it does not require a change in light cycle to flower. It thrives in a warm, sunny climate if grown outdoors and is relatively resistant to common molds and pests. No special training is required, though low-stress training can help maximize light exposure and yield.
