iCritical
Also known as: Critical i, i-Critical
iCritical Strain Overview
iCritical is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Critical Mass with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve Critical Kush genetics. The strain was created to combine the high yields and resin production of Critical Mass with enhanced potency and a more balanced effect profile. iCritical emerged in the early 2010s as part of the 'Critical' family of strains that gained popularity for their reliable growth characteristics and consistent effects.
The plant typically displays dense, conical buds with a frosty coating of trichomes and orange pistils. The coloration ranges from deep green to purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. iCritical is known for its robust structure and resistance to common molds and pests, making it a favorite among cultivators seeking reliable performance. The strain's name reflects its critical acclaim among both growers and consumers for its balanced effects and productive yields.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, earthy notes with hints of citrus and spice. The buds are often described as sticky and resinous, with a flavor that translates the aromatic complexity into a smooth smoking experience. iCritical has maintained consistent popularity in both medical and recreational markets due to its predictable effects and cultivation advantages.

iCritical Strain Growing Information
iCritical is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for intermediate growers. Flowering time typically ranges from 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plant produces high yields both indoors and outdoors, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can reach heights of 2-2.5 meters and yield 500-600 grams per plant.
Preferred growing conditions include both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean climates outdoors. The plant responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining moderate humidity levels during flowering to prevent bud rot, despite the strain's general mold resistance. iCritical benefits from a balanced nutrient regimen and adequate spacing between plants for optimal light penetration and air circulation.
