How to grow Critical Chronic Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Critical Chronic crossed with Ruderalis for a compact, skunk-descended autoflower that shrugs off warm, dry climates better than most — a particular favourite across Southern Europe. She stays small, 60–80cm indoors, and is ready in as little as six weeks. Medium potency, straightforward growing, no surprises.
Where it comes from
Sumo Seeds crossed Critical Chronic with Ruderalis for a compact, skunk-descended autoflower that shrugs off warm, dry climates better than most. That Skunk heritage is exactly what made her forebear a favourite across Southern Europe, and the automatic version carries the resilience forward. A hardy, practical plant for the grower with sun and little patience.
Nose & flavour
The record does not set out her nose in detail, so I will not invent one for her. Her Skunk lineage suggests a pungent, earthy character, but that is inheritance rather than a confirmed note — and I would sooner name the gap than fill it with guesswork.
The high
Her effect goes unrecorded, and I will keep to what is fair: a medium-potency plant, by the record's own reckoning, of the sort that suits an easygoing session rather than a heavy one. The Skunk descent tends toward a rounded, sociable character, but I will not claim more than the record allows.
Growing it
She stays small — 60 to 80cm indoors — forming one main bud with several side branches, and finishes fast, in as little as six to seven weeks from seed. Yields run 300 to 400 g/m². She thrives in all climates and comes into her own in sunny spots, resistant to the warm and dry conditions that trouble lesser plants. A short, quick, unfussy autoflower for the grower who wants no long wait and no drama.
