Royal Queen Seeds - "Critical"

[creativeprocess]

Anyone have experience, first or secondhand, with this strain?

Looking for a fast flowering, decent yielding, fairly potent strain.

PS something versatile enough to do both SOG and LST / SCROG.

Just one of the dozens of bulk S1s based on the renowned spanish clone-only Critical Mass "Bilbo" (Ortue shop cut). I don think this is the best option for a S1, pics on that thread don't look like the original cut at all. Ghenetik seedbank was created by the Ortue shop owners so it could be a better option. Many companies discontinued the strain.

Years ago the Bilbo cut become super trendy and so widespread that almost every seedbank had their own version and the whole country stank and ended saturated of Critical buds. Similar case to what happened in UK with the Cheese.

It's a stinky, fast and productive skunk anyway with a nice and potent sweet candy/gum smell. I'd rather prefer the Cheese though. The CM is bland, very couchlocking, so not really a functional smoke but more like a stupifying one. It's quite stretchy with long nodes and thin branches that normally can't hold the big flowers without bending as well. It's the appeal, stench and commercial qualities what made her famous in my opinion.

By the way, almost any commercial hybrid will be versatile for SOG/SCROG. Just avoid the more stretchy and less productive ones.

Peace.

Hi, thanks for the tip to conduct a search. i did look at that thread but it seems as though the person was having problems with nutrients, salts, dry conditions, etc, so I didn't come to any definite conclusions about it.

Thanks for the history lesson, much appreciated!
Thin branches is a concern so I likely won't go with that strain.
How would you describe smoke from the Cheese?

thanks again
