Critical x Cheese is considered suitable for intermediate to experienced growers, showing vigorous growth with both indoor and outdoor cultivation options. The strain flowers relatively quickly in 7-10 weeks (55-65 days), making it attractive for commercial production. Indoor yields can reach up to 500 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 1300 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plant requires odor control during the final weeks of flowering due to its extremely strong aroma. It responds well to SCROG methods indoors and prefers temperate to dry climates when grown outdoors.
