Critical Sticky Mango
Also known as: Critical Sticky Mango Auto, Sticky Mango Critical
Critical Sticky Mango Strain Overview
Critical Sticky Mango is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent strains. The strain represents a cross between Critical Mass and Sticky Mango, two well-established varieties in the cannabis community. Breeders aimed to create a plant that maintains the high yields and resin production of Critical Mass while incorporating the tropical flavor profile and balanced effects of Sticky Mango. The resulting hybrid has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators since its introduction in the early 2010s.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that exhibit a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, often accentuated by bright orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sticky appearance that inspired part of the strain's name. The plant structure typically features sturdy branches that can support the weight of the heavy colas, making it a practical choice for growers. The aroma profile combines earthy, skunky notes from its Critical Mass lineage with sweet, tropical mango undertones from the Sticky Mango parent.
Critical Sticky Mango is noted for its balanced genetic expression, typically leaning slightly toward indica dominance in its effects while maintaining some sativa characteristics in its growth pattern. The strain has become particularly popular in European markets and has been adapted into autoflowering versions by several seed banks. Its reliable performance, appealing flavor profile, and versatile effects have made it a staple in many cannabis enthusiasts' collections, though it remains less widely known than some mainstream commercial strains.

Critical Sticky Mango Strain Growing Information
Critical Sticky Mango is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, often reaching 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures when grown outside. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and airflow. Special considerations include monitoring humidity during late flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and providing adequate support for the heavy colas. The autoflowering version completes its life cycle in 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest and remains compact, making it suitable for space-limited grows.
