How to grow Critical Purple
Seb's take
Purple OG, Critical and Ruderalis combined into a strain whose paperwork says mostly Sativa but whose manners say otherwise. Fruity, earthy, coffee-edged on the nose, with dark green flowers touched purple near harvest; the high opens euphoric then eases into a mellow, sitting-down calm suited to nighttime. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and ideal for first attempts.
Growing Critical Purple: what to expect
Auto-flowering, so the light-schedule homework is largely done for you. Less control, fewer mistakes on offer — a fair trade for a first grow. Details in autos versus photoperiods.
Around 8 weeks of flower, start to finish. Quick, by any honest measure — have your harvest plans made before she makes them for you.
Not a heavy producer, and untroubled by that fact. Grow her for what she is rather than for the scales — though good practice will still add a little.
THC tests around 18%, which is strong by any sensible chart. Respect it accordingly.
Earthy on the nose — the old-school profile, done properly.
Reported effects lean relaxed — the sitting-down sort.
