About Critical Kush
Critical Kush pairs citrus, earthy, pine, diesel character with an indica-leaning profile.
This profile covers the Barney’s Farm release. Its listed genetic background is Critical Mass X OG Kush. The breeder classifies it as 100% indica / 0% sativa (breeder classification). A shared strain name does not establish that another producer’s flower has the same genetics or composition.
The breeder describes reports of relaxed experiences. These are subjective descriptions, not measured probabilities or promised outcomes.
The growing figures below are breeder specifications for this release. Yield, stature and timing vary with phenotype and growing conditions; an outdoor harvest window is seasonal guidance, not a date that applies to every climate.
The advertised THC figure is a breeder claim, not a batch certificate or a population average. No independent cannabinoid distribution or verified terpene panel is supplied with this profile.
