How to grow Critical Sour Diesel
THC 20% Taste
Seb's take
Critical Bilbao crossed with Sour Diesel for the classic fuel taste the latter is known for, carried on an easy, resistant, high-yielding frame. Medical growers favour her for chronic pain, depression and anxiety, and there is little fuss in the growing to match the fuss she's worth in the jar. Does not travel discreetly.
Where it comes from
Emerald Triangle crossed Critical Bilbao with Sour Diesel, the latter lending the classic fuel character it is known for, carried on an easy, resistant, high-yielding frame. A balanced 50/50 hybrid, then — the Critical Bilbao side bringing the vigour and the yield, the Sour Diesel side bringing the gas. A refreshingly straightforward plant to grow, by the record's own account, for all the pedigree behind it.
Nose & flavour
The record singles out one note above all: the classic fuel taste, drawn straight from the Sour Diesel parent. A gassy, diesel-forward profile, unmistakable and loud — she does not travel discreetly. Beyond that the record keeps its own counsel on her nose, and I will not invent what it has not offered.
The high
The record does not set out her effect in experiential terms, and I will not manufacture one. What can fairly be said is that a balanced 50/50 hybrid at around 20% THC tends toward an even, middle-ground character — neither all head nor all body. Beyond that reasonable reading, I will keep to the facts rather than embroider them.
Growing it
The record is thin on figures — no flowering time, height or yield stated — so I will describe her temperament rather than invent numbers she has not given. She is a refreshingly easy plant to grow, resistant to mould and pests, and produces big yields by the record's account. At around 20% THC, the potency is not in doubt. A hardy, forgiving, gas-forward hybrid for the grower who wants the Sour Diesel character without the fuss the name might imply.
