Super Critical
Super Critical
Also known as: Super Critical Bud
Overview
Super Critical is a renowned indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica, 30% sativa) developed by Green House Seeds through crossing Big Bud, Skunk #1, and White Widow. This strain emerged from Amsterdam's cannabis breeding scene in the 2000s and has since become one of the most popular genetics worldwide due to its exceptional yield potential and potent effects. The strain represents a careful balance of classic genetics, combining Big Bud's massive yield potential with Skunk's pungent aroma and White Widow's resin production. Super Critical plants are characterized by their medium height, stocky structure, and dark green leaves that sometimes display purple hues. The dense, trichome-coated buds are notably thick and resinous, reflecting the strain's indica-dominant genetics. The complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene and limonene creates a distinctive aroma featuring dank, skunky notes with sweet, fruity undertones and hints of citrus and spice.

Growing Information
Super Critical is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) and produces exceptional yields - up to 800 grams per square meter indoors and 900-1200 grams per plant outdoors. Plants grow to a medium height of approximately 3.9 feet (1.2 meters), making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain responds well to Screen of Green (ScrOG) and Sea of Green (SOG) techniques. It flourishes in warm temperate and semi-humid maritime climates and is ready for harvest by the end of September in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants form thick, stocky bushes with dark green leaves and require support for heavy buds during flowering. Super Critical is known for its resilience and forgiving nature, though it can be sensitive to overwatering.
