What is the OG Critical strain?

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

OG Critical is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Critical Kush and OG Kush. This genetic combination brings together the best characteristics of both lineages, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain was developed to provide a potent yet manageable experience that combines the physical relaxation of indica genetics with the cerebral stimulation of sativa heritage.

Visually, OG Critical plants typically produce dense, resinous buds with a classic cannabis structure. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler growing conditions. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, pine, and citrus notes with a distinctive Kush undertone.

OG Critical is known for its relatively fast flowering time and good resistance to common pests and molds, making it a suitable choice for growers of various experience levels. The strain has become particularly popular in European markets but has gained recognition worldwide for its balanced effects and reliable performance. While not as historically significant as some pure landrace strains, OG Critical represents a successful modern hybridization that has found a stable place in the cannabis market.

How do you grow OG Critical?

OG Critical is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing proper training techniques to maximize light penetration. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) methods.
