Critikal 99

Critikal 99 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

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.
