How to grow Auto Critical Hog
Taste
Seb's take
Critical Bilbo, a Spanish competition winner, crossed with Hog's Breath, a High Times Cup winner — a pedigree Auto Critical Hog lives up to in nine to ten weeks flat. Earthy, woody and pungent with a citrus lift; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and built for beginners.
Where it comes from
A cross of two decorated parents. Critical Bilbo, a winner of numerous Spanish cannabis competitions, meets Hog's Breath, itself a High Times Indica Cup winner — and T.H. Seeds' autoflowering result lives up to the billing. Indica-dominant, quick to finish, and built on genuinely competitive stock. The Ruderalis adds the automatic habit without diluting a lineage that has already proven itself on more than one stage.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and woody at the base, distinctly pungent, with a floral note and a citrus lift working over the top. A full, layered nose — grounded and loud at once, the citrus keeping the heavier notes honest. This is not a plant that travels discreetly; the aroma announces itself well before the jar is opened. A rich, competition-bred profile.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric at the outset, uplifted through the middle, before a sleepy softness gathers toward the end. A well-rounded arc, sociable early and restful late — the indica dominance making itself known in its own time. A pleasant, undemanding experience that knows where it is going without hurrying to get there.
Growing it
From seed to harvest in just nine to ten weeks — flowering runs sixty-three to seventy days — with a manageable height of ninety to a hundred and twenty centimetres. Yields reach up to 450g per square metre of thick, dense bud. A Sea of Green will rein in the final height for the space-conscious and lift the return besides. Hardy, consistent and forgiving of enthusiasm, this is a plant built with the beginner squarely in mind, and one that delivers every time without asking for expertise in return.
