Critikal 99
Also known as: Critical 99, Critical 99 Auto
Critikal 99 Strain Overview
Critikal 99 is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Royal Queen Seeds that combines genetics from Critical and an undisclosed Ruderalis strain. The strain was specifically bred to create a high-yielding autoflowering variety that maintains the desirable characteristics of its photoperiod parent while adding the convenience of automatic flowering. First introduced in the early 2010s, Critikal 99 quickly gained popularity among growers seeking reliable autoflowering plants with substantial yields and potent effects.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Critikal 99 is known for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth from seed to harvest in 9-11 weeks. This makes it particularly appealing to growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests per year.
Notable features of Critikal 99 include its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain exhibits good resistance to common molds and pests, making it suitable for novice growers. While primarily an autoflowering variety, some seed banks have also developed photoperiod versions. The strain's balanced genetic profile results in effects that many users describe as both physically relaxing and mentally uplifting, though individual experiences may vary based on cultivation methods and phenotype expression.

Critikal 99 Strain Growing Information
Critikal 99 is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. As an autoflowering variety, it transitions to the flowering stage automatically based on age rather than light cycle changes. Flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks from seed to harvest. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor plants usually reaching 60-100 cm in height and outdoor plants potentially growing slightly taller.
Expected yields are moderate to high for an autoflowering strain: indoor growers can anticipate 350-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 50-150 grams per plant depending on conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). Indoor growers should maintain consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold.
Special considerations include avoiding transplanting stress (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent lighting throughout the growth cycle. The strain responds well to low-stress training techniques but should not be subjected to high-stress training methods due to its autoflowering nature. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
