Critical Autoflower

Critical Autoflower is an extremely low maintenance, easy to grow strain that is a beast producer. Very reliable outdoors due to her high plant resistance factors. Easily one of the biggest producing autos on the market today and a solid performer.

This cultivar is Spain's most popular and productive strain and as her resin profile is prolific, making her a great strain for hash makers and extractors. Well known for her monster harvests, perfume sweet, fruity terpene profile and easy to grow nature.

She performs like no other autoflowering strain when in terms of production indoors as well as outdoors. A must-have for commercial growers and those searching for an easy to grow, low maintenance autoflowering hybrid.

Now you can grow the enormous producer, Critical as an autoflower all year long!

Growing 

We crossed our best Ruderalis male with a cup winning Critical. The result is an autoflowering strain that will take 10-12 weeks from seed until harvest.

This Critical has all the confectionary sweet flavors and a high resistance to colder climates. You can expect massive yields from the photoperiod version of Critical.

We were able to create a short, low profile hybrid that is perfect for balcony grows and terraces. Now you can grow Spain’s most loved variety all year around with overly impressive results, both indoors and outdoors.

Indoor
This lady will grow with a short and stocky profile that is reminiscent of indica Cannabis. A fantastic strain for growing in a Sea of Green where discretion is required.

Intermodal spacing will be small and there is no need to worry about Auto Critical stretching much once flowering commences. She will produce big and chunky buds and will become full from top to bottom with high-grade buds.

Outdoor
Critical Autoflower is an excellent performer in all climates, and will absolutely thrive in hot weather such as California.

From seed until harvest, most plants will be ready within 70-84 days. We advise planting this cultivar from June until the end of October for the best results.

Keep the plants South-facing also to ensure they receive the most amount of sun possible and mature with giant buds.

Fungal resistance

One of the very best things about this lady is how resistant she is to mold, meaning that you don’t need to worry as she packs on the weight during flowering. An exceptional candidate for growers who experience heavy winds and challenging climates.

Flowering time

Indoor
Under HID lighting, expect plants to finish between 70-84 days, with larger producing phenotypes demanding the longest. We recommend keeping the Critical Autoflower growing for their entire lifecycle under 12 or 18 hours of lighting.

Outdoor
Thanks to her fast autoflowering capabilities, she can be harvested multiple times per year, meaning even first time growers can produce bountiful harvest perpetually.

Growers who live in a hot Mediterranean climate can plant from March until December. Those who experience challenging weather will get the best results when planting outdoors from June until the end of August.

Yield

Indoor
For such a fast flowering auto, Critical Autoflower sure can pack on the pounds. A must-have for commercial growers as this cultivar is capable of yielding 425 g/m² (1.4 oz per square foot).

Outdoor
An outstanding producer outdoors, that can easily outperform most other autos on the market. Growers can expect yields of 125 grams (4.5 oz) per plant. For the biggest yields, we recommend planting into a large-sized fabric pot that is 50-100 liters (13-26 gallons).

Plant height & structure

Despite her giant harvests, her final height will be short and will measure around 90-100 cm (35-39 inches) and will produce large-sized buds that have a green and pink tint to them.

Training

We do advise adding support when flowering starts, as the weight of the buds can become heavy. Using a net trellis, tomato cage or bamboo canes work very well.

Smell, taste, and effect

A very enticing terpene profile that is a combination of fresh flowers, savory overtones, with perfume sweet notes. Breaking open a bud will reveal a sweet but earthy aroma that has a slight tropical candy nose.

The flavor is much sweeter and candy like, meaning fans of fruity and tropical flavors will really enjoy Critical autoflowering seeds.

Her effects are upbeat, creative and very sociable. After smoking a joint, her effects are fast acting and will put you into a dreamy state that is a mixture of happy, alert and aware, as well as relaxed and chilled out.

Critical Auto can be enjoyed during all times of the day without any feelings of tiredness, and is recommended for creative individuals, artists, musicians, or those who enjoy getting stuck into a good book. This strain is also well advised for social scenarios and busy working individuals.

Great strain for extracts..FROSTY!!!!!!!

First time growing this strain and became an immediate fan. very quick and smooth transition to flower and is a fast finisher. i'll be cutting her down in a handful of hours and should be right around day 70 give or take a day. it can be taken earlier depending on preference however i should note that this was only grown in a 3 gallon pot for genetic selection purposes so could be why it finished so quick.. i prefer to cut MOST strains on the later end of window closer to amber trics unless harvesting for certain extracts and what the order calls for (cheetah piss a handful of days early with milky and also maybe a couple translucent stalks in there for visual effects) otherwise this day 70 harvest is for sure what most would consider a later cut. very short and compact plant might want to thin her out. im already doing just that on the photo criticals i got as well..GREAT NOSE!! I'll be using this strain as a pollen donor to play with over winter she is looking like a lot of fun to wash and press with all her sugars covering the buds..handles strong winds with no problems at all

Strong high, reasonable yield

This strain grows well in a hot, humid summer climate. They were quick flowering balanced with lower yields. Outdoor stealth grow in pots resulted in about 30 grams each in 9 growing weeks. They are good to grow while you wait for your fems to mature. Produces a strong, lasting high. I would purchase this strain again.

critical autoflower

only 2 of 5 germinated, which was unfortunate, but the 2 plants that grew and matured produced nice long (4-6 ") buds. kept plants below 5 ft. so that it would bush more . cultivated 8 qt. jars of nice plump buds of the 2 plants !

Purchased AutoFlower Seeds, But the Seeds were Normal Feminized Seeds

I was looking forward to growing the Critical Autoflowers, but after my other strains of autoflowers, that I grew at the exact same time, were harvested, the Autoflower Criticals were now 4' tall with no signs of preflowers. Today, the Criticals that were supposed to be Autos, are now between 70" and 72" tall with the flowering stage starting about 1-2 weeks ago.

I have been purchasing Nirvana seeds for a very long time. All of their seeds have been top quality. Except the occasional issue with Autoflowering seeds that were mislabeled. This has happened only once before and Nirvana made good on their mistake.

For whatever reason, Nirvana has not responded to the tickets and emails I have sent them over the past two months regarding this problem. After paying $45 for these Critical Autoflower seeds, I at least expected that someone would respond to my issues. I am hoping that Nirvana appreciates my business enough to eventually respond to their mistake.

I have to rate this product poorly. As to how the Critical feminized plants that I now have growing, which were supposed to be Autoflowering seeds, I will review them after harvest in October.

I've grown the fem version of this and while it produced more I like auto-flowers better. Both have great taste.

I put them outdoors in big pots, full sun all day, the harvest is quite impressive, one of the 5 seeds behave strangely, dark green leaf, very little buds (hermaphrodite i think)

Biggest auto I’ve ever grown

Great Strain. Through slight defoliation and LST I was able to end up with 11 ounces of dried flower from this beautiful strain. I haven’t tried it yet as it’s currently curing but I know I’ll be growing many more of this wonderful strain.

First time with autoflower

Has taken a bit longer seed to harvest than expected. Once the night temps have been in the 60s it's done much better and heads are looking robust. Harvet should be in 2 weeks which will be 110 days after planting.
I give it 4 stars because of what the heads are looking like. I'll do a followup after the smoke test.

Critical, Autoflower

I am thrilled to have grown this awesome bud. Nirvana has always come through and I have never not had a seed pop. This strain lives up to it's hype.

Excellent strain

I have had issues with higher temperatures before and this strain has done pretty well despite them. It's a great producer and during my last grow grew to almost 4 feet high. Nirvana have some really good genetics which is very important for autos. I've gotten critical a few times now and nearly all of them have sprouted. Been using 5 gal pots with Fox Farm Ocean Blend as a medium with Fox Farm nutrients. Highly recommend this strain; will get it next time it runs on sale.

Predictable, stable a very good choice.

100% germination rate, rapid expansive growth with 900 to 1100 ppm from third week until finish. Grow consist of perlite substrate in hempy buckets. Varied pH from 5.7-5.9 on a daily, temps 75° f. Finishing times as with most breeders about two weeks off. A very stable and predictable strain. A very good choice!
