How to grow CBD Critcal Mass
Taste
Seb's take
Bred down from the original Critical Mass — Afghani and Skunk #1 stock — with the THC dialled back and the CBD dialled up. Sweet and almost juicy-fresh on the nose; the effect is mellow and mood-lifting without dulling energy, focus or motivation. Creativity gets a quiet boost besides.
Where it comes from
Herbies set out here to breed the THC down and the CBD up, crossing a CBD-rich hybrid with the original Critical Mass, itself an Afghani and Skunk #1 cross of some standing. The result lands at a level six percent each of THC and CBD, a deliberate one-to-one. Seventy-five percent indica, and descended from two dependable old workhorses. A plant reworked with intent rather than left as it was found.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and almost juicy-fresh, a bright, clean nose to open with, owing something to the Skunk in the deeper lineage. Familiar and moreish rather than exotic. Pleasant company for a balanced plant, and easy to sit with.
The high
Strong enough to make a noticeable difference to the mood, but mellow with it, relaxation that arrives without stripping out energy, focus or motivation. There is even a quiet lift to the creativity, by the record's account. At six percent THC against six percent CBD, an even, functional effect that softens the edges without dulling the day.
Growing it
Flowering in 60 to 70 days for 549 g/m², with THC and CBD level at six percent apiece. Mind the height: the record puts her at roughly 170 to 200cm, so she stretches like the Skunk in her background and will want the headroom planned for early. A tall, productive plant with a balanced chemistry, give her the vertical space and she is a straightforward grow with an even, level result.
