Critical Fast Seeds

A rapid-flowering version of the well-known Critical line, bred for shorter bloom times while preserving its sturdy structure and uniform performance. Critical Fast Seeds produce reliable, high-vigor plants that finish up to two weeks earlier than standard photoperiod types—perfect for growers in regions with shorter seasons or anyone seeking a quicker harvest cycle without sacrificing quality.

Critical Fast grows with strong stems, short internodes, and a balanced canopy ideal for even light distribution. The plants form dense clusters of bright green flowers covered in fine resin, displaying a classic, symmetrical growth pattern. This line retains the robust nature and consistency of the original Critical genetics while adding an early-finishing trait that enhances adaptability in cooler or variable climates. Its combination of reliability, speed, and visual appeal makes it a standout choice for both breeding and production gardens.

Start seeds indoors several weeks before transplanting, maintaining steady soil temperatures around 70–80 °F / 21–27 °C. Provide full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Plants respond well to topping or training to encourage wider canopy formation. Expect flowering to complete in just 7–8 weeks, producing strong, compact plants with excellent uniformity.
