Critigal+
Also known as: Critigal Plus, Critical+, Critical Plus
Critigal+ Strain Overview
Critigal+ (often stylized as Critical+ or Critical Plus) is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Dinafem. The strain was created by crossing Critical Mass, a well-known indica-dominant hybrid, with an undisclosed sativa parent. This breeding project aimed to combine the high yields and resin production of Critical Mass with enhanced cerebral effects and improved structure from the sativa genetics. The result is a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational users and commercial growers since its introduction in the early 2000s.
Critigal+ plants typically display a robust structure with dense, resinous buds that are often lime green in color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The flowers are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain is known for its relatively short flowering time and high resistance to common molds and pests, making it suitable for various growing environments. The aroma profile combines earthy, skunky notes with sweet, fruity undertones, while the flavor often includes hints of citrus and pine.
As a commercial strain, Critigal+ has been widely distributed across European and North American markets. Its genetic stability and consistent performance have made it a reliable choice for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has also been used as a parent in several other breeding projects due to its desirable traits. While not as famous as some classic strains, Critigal+ maintains a dedicated following among users who appreciate its balanced effects and practical growing characteristics.

Critigal+ Strain Growing Information
Critigal+ 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. Indoor yields range from 450-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-800 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over the flowering cycle. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height (1.2-2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize yields. Critigal+ is resistant to most common molds and pests but requires adequate ventilation to prevent bud rot in humid conditions.
