A new afternoon delight just arrived on the 420 scene. Critical x Green Crack is a slightly Sativa-leaning variant with a splendidly sweet citrus zest, sprinkled with earthy and skunky elements. Apart from its mouthwatering aroma and fragrance, it also boasts up to 20% THC strength.

The hybrid brings together the calming effect of Critical and the energizing kick of Green Crack. This unusual combination results in a revitalizing yet soothing physical buzz that allows mobility, making it perfect for an afternoon toke when zeal is starting to run low, but there are still a few hours of work to go. It also uplifts the mood while potentially reducing the symptoms of various health concerns such as stress, anxiety and chronic pain.

Critical x Green Crack is an excellent choice for novice growers who want a fast-growing, high-yielding plant. These feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. can be grown indoors, outdoors and in greenhouses, and the plants prosper in any medium.

Growing Critical x Green Crack Feminized Seeds

Like both of its parents, Critical x Green Crack displays Indica grow tendencies, which are advantageous for various reasons. Its thick main stem and branches are sturdy enough to carry the heavy colas, and the plant stays medium-sized with a full-grown height of 5 to 6 feet. This can be decreased through training, using smaller pots, and shortening the vegging cycle.

There may be some challenges, though. The plant has plenty of branches and thick foliage with small intermodal gaps, so pruning is essential for optimal airflow and light exposure. This is vital because stagnant air and lack of light may cause moisture buildup, which can trigger other problems.

Apart from trimming away unnecessary branches and leaves, it'll only need basic TLC. It grows well in all types of medium but produces the best output in a hydroponics setup. In a controlled environment, using the Sea of Green method is most productive. Fill a single square yard with 600w lighting and 4 to 9 plants. Keep the temperature between 70 and 79°F and the humidity around 40 to 50% during the 7 to 8 weeks of flowering. In an ideal setting, yields of up to 1.47 ounces per square foot can be achieved.

Outdoor growing is possible in places with dry, balmy weather. Put the plant somewhere it can receive maximum sun exposure, and be prepared to move or cover it in case of drizzle. In optimum al fresco settings, each plant can produce up to 24.7 ounces, which can be collected by the end of September to early October in the northern hemisphere, and March in the southern hemisphere.

Fragrance and Flavor

Both Critical and Green Crack descended from Skunk strains, and this is evident in the hybrid's aroma and taste. The buds have a pungent sweet citrus fragrance with a subtle Skunk muskiness in the background that becomes more evident when the flowers are broken apart. Once lit up, it produces a vapor that tastes exactly as it smells. The lemon zest is refreshing and stimulating, and a faint Skunk flavor with a tinge of cultivated soil can also be expected.

Effects

Critical x Green Crack's cerebral buzz manifests fast. Soon after taking a hit, a surge of euphoria comes rushing in, creating a high that's powerful but not startling. It uplifts the mood and allows the mind to focus on positive things, with problems fading into the background.

After creating a worry-free, joyful state of mind, a boost in mental vigor follows. It translates to physical vitality, which helps the body to perform well even when energy is running low. That said, don't use this herb alongside physically-demanding activities as it may make you crash out after a few hours.

It's often used after midday, when motivation and strength are depleting. After all, certain chores are far more fun when accompanied by some cerebral and corporeal pleasure.

Medical

Suffering from health conditions when there are responsibilities to accomplish is not only an inconvenience, it's also a threat to job security. The good news is that Critical x Green Crack can be a reliable partner when battling against various health conditions.

It's said to be highly effective in suppressing the symptoms of psychological troubles caused by the likes of stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD and many other mental health concerns. It also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities that may eliminate physical pains as well as reducing swelling. These functions may be useful to sufferers of migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, PMS, fibromyalgia and other chronic illnesses. On top of that, with its energy-boosting ability, even fatigue may be reduced, leading to greater productivity.

Do note, however, that enjoying this strain in low-to-moderate amounts is crucial to achieving its potential medicinal benefits. It's also the key to limiting the adverse effects to only dry eyes and cottonmouth. Taking higher doses does not increase its therapeutic efficacy. On the contrary, it can induce dizzy spells, anxiety or paranoia.
