Growing Information
Critical Jack Autoflowering is considered easy to grow and ideal for beginners due to its autoflowering nature that eliminates the need for light cycle changes. The strain thrives both indoors and outdoors, with indoor plants yielding 20-100g per plant (450-500g/m²) and outdoor plants producing 100-400g per plant. Flowering time is rapid at 50-60 days from germination, with total lifecycle completing in 8-11 weeks (approximately 80 days). Plants prefer Mediterranean-type climates with warm, sunny conditions but can tolerate moderate environmental stress and moisture. Indoor cultivation benefits from controlled temperature and humidity, while outdoor growing is suitable for guerrilla-style cultivation. The strain responds well to various growing techniques including SCROG and SOG methods, and can handle slightly higher fertilization levels than manufacturer recommendations. Adding 1/3 coco coir to the substrate and frequent but sparse watering is recommended for optimal results.
