How to grow CBD Critical Cure
Taste
Seb's take
Critical Kush meets Shanti Baba's CBD-enhanced line for a robust, easy-growing hybrid that races through vegetative growth before slowing to focus on bud. Strawberry, pine and earth on the nose; the effect is sleepy, relaxed and happy at a gentle 5.5% THC. Yields run generous for the effort involved.
Where it comes from
Barney's Farm crossed Critical Kush with a CBD-enhanced strain from Shanti Baba, a name that carries weight in CBD breeding circles, for this robust, eighty percent indica hybrid. The Critical Kush lends the structure and the speed; the Shanti Baba line lends the raised CBD. A sturdy pedigree bred toward gentleness rather than power, and stable enough to suit a first-timer as readily as an old hand.
Nose & flavour
Strawberry up front, a genuine fruit note rather than a hint, with pine and earth grounding it beneath. A fresh, sweet nose that leans toward the fruit bowl. Approachable and clean, in keeping with a plant built for ease.
The high
Sleepy, relaxed and happy, an easy settling toward the armchair, at 5.5 percent THC against 8 percent CBD, a gentle proposition rather than a heavy one. The mood lifts as the body eases. Better suited to a quiet evening than a busy afternoon, but soft enough throughout to keep good company.
Growing it
Simple to grow, and forgiving to beginner and veteran alike. She races through veg and early flower before slowing, in the final weeks, to concentrate on the buds, finishing in 55 to 60 days, or eight to nine weeks, at a compact 90 to 100cm. Yields run generous, 600 g/m², at 5.5 percent THC and 8 percent CBD. A robust, undemanding plant with a heavy return and a gentle chemistry; few CBD lines are easier to bring home.
