Critters
Also known as: Critters OG
Critters Strain Overview
Critters is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available in mainstream cannabis databases, suggesting it may have been developed by smaller breeders or through underground cultivation networks. What information exists indicates it was likely bred in California or Oregon, regions known for innovative hybrid development during that period.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that typically display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that contributes to the strain's name. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and diesel notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating what users describe as a 'forest floor' scent.
Critters is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's rarity means that comprehensive information about its genetic stability and consistent characteristics across different grows is limited. Some sources suggest it may have been a phenotype selection from existing genetics rather than a formally stabilized strain, which could explain variations in reported effects and appearance among different growers and consumers.

Critters Strain Growing Information
Critters is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its relative rarity and limited stable genetics. The strain typically flowers in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-7 feet outdoors, with a bushy structure that may require pruning for optimal light penetration.
Yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-22 ounces per plant. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues, particularly during flowering when the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related problems. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers to better control environmental factors. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, requiring careful feeding schedules.
