Critical Purple
Critical Purple
Also known as: Critical Purple Kush
Overview
Critical Purple, also known as Critical Purple Kush, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Critical Mass and Purple Kush genetics. This strain was developed to combine the robust, high-yielding characteristics of Critical Mass with the visually appealing purple coloration and potent effects of Purple Kush. The strain emerged from meticulous breeding techniques that brought together classic indica genetics with modern innovations. Critical Purple is distinguished by its stunning visual appeal, featuring oversized dark olive green buds with bright purple leaves, dark amber hairs, and a thick coating of crystal trichomes that can display purple tinges. The strain is noted for its vigorous growth, producing large, dense, resin-saturated flowers that develop beautiful purple to nearly black hues toward the end of flowering. Users report that Critical Purple provides a complex aromatic profile combining sweet, fruity notes from its Blueberry heritage with earthy, musky undertones typical of Kush strains, complemented by hints of coffee and soil.

Growing Information
Critical Purple is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has an indoor flowering time of 8-10 weeks (55-65 days) and produces yields of 550-600g/m² indoors. Plants typically reach 75-100cm in height indoors but require support due to heavy, dense buds. Outdoor cultivation results in larger plants reaching 2.0-2.5m with harvest ready by early October, producing up to 800g per plant. The strain exhibits good resistance to pests and pathogens due to heavy resin production, though growers should monitor for mold and mildew. Critical Purple thrives in various environments and growing media, particularly excelling outdoors where its purple coloration becomes most vibrant.
