Supercritical
Also known as: Super Critical, Super Critical Haze
What is the Supercritical strain?
Supercritical is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Supercritical is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Dinafem. The strain was created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Critical Mass, a potent indica known for its heavy yields and relaxing effects, and Super Silver Haze, a multiple Cannabis Cup-winning sativa celebrated for its uplifting cerebral effects and complex flavor profile. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the best qualities of both lineages, offering a balanced experience that combines physical relaxation with mental stimulation.
The strain typically produces medium to large plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. Supercritical is known for its relatively fast flowering time compared to other sativa-dominant hybrids, making it appealing to growers seeking a balance between quality and production efficiency.
Supercritical has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and reliable performance. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its ability to deliver a 'super critical' experience that many users find well-balanced and manageable. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Supercritical has maintained a dedicated following since its introduction in the early 2000s, particularly among European cannabis enthusiasts.

Supercritical is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, often reaching 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight. Plants tend to grow to medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize yield and light penetration. Supercritical is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
