How to grow Critical Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Auto Critical+ bred back onto Critical+ for an 80% Indica strain that keeps things simple: beginner-friendly, stable, and built for the evening rather than the morning. Lemon and pine on the nose, earthy and floral underneath; the high is happy and relaxed, tingly before it turns properly sleepy. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and reliable outdoors.
Where it comes from
Herbies bred Auto Critical+ back onto Critical+ for an 80% indica autoflower that keeps things simple. She inherits the family's stability and its easy temper, which makes her a genuine beginner's plant, while more experienced hands can lean on that same stability for reliable outdoor returns. No reinvention here, just the Critical line trimmed down to something self-timing and dependable.
Nose & flavour
Lemon leads, bright and clean, with pine sharpening it and a bed of earth and a floral note beneath. A fresh, tidy nose — citrus over a green, resinous base — that reads more forest walk than fuel yard. Pleasant rather than overpowering.
The high
Happy and relaxed, tingly at first before it turns properly sleepy — an evening smoke rather than a morning one. She fills the body with an easy blissful weight and the mind with contentment, then eases you toward the door of the day. Best kept for when the work is done.
Growing it
She flowers in around 70 days, reaching roughly 90 to 130cm, and returns a modest 61 to 92 g/m². Not the heaviest yielder, then, but a genuine breeze to grow — stable, forgiving of enthusiasm, and reliable outdoors where experienced hands can count on her. An 80% indica built for the evening and for the newcomer alike. She asks little and rarely misbehaves.
