Medical Uses of Critical Fast Version 

With Cannabidiol (CBD) levels under 1%, many medical users might write off Critical Fast Version as a viable option - certainly considering the strain’s potent 19% average THC content.

Of course, this is all dependant on your tolerance to THC. If you have no interest in the psychoactive nature of weed (or can’t be convinced otherwise), then this might not be the marijuana medicine for you. Most experts agree that THC plays a crucial role in the therapeutic value of cannabis, however - don’t just go looking for CBD in hopes of a miracle, you need a balance of cannabinoids and terpenes for the best ganja treatment.

 

As with all high THC strains, consume with care. If you want to avoid potential dizziness, dry mouth or red eyes, stay hydrated throughout.

Growing Critical Fast Version Seeds

Critical Mass is an interesting specimen when it comes to growing - though the plants have an inherent susceptibility to mold and a habit of struggling under their own weight, the strain nonetheless remains one often suggested to novice cultivators, presenting enough challenge the help you develop those green thumbs while still seeing a successful and sizable harvest.

 

With Critical Fast Version, that newbie-friendly label just got a little bigger. While you’ll still have the same cultivation challenges ahead of you, these plants race through their growth cycle that bit faster than the original, meaning less time devoted to TLC from you.

 

These beans are also feminized to add further peace of mind to the grower, removing much of the likelihood of male plants from the mix. Keep in mind, however, you’re always better off sexing your marijuana plants in the pre-flower stage just to be safe.

 

The key to success with any Critical Mass crop (this fast version included) is preparation. These plants experience exponential growth and are going to develop such massive buds and numerous budding sites that they’ll need added support from you in the form of stakes or trellises otherwise their branches might break.

 

Due to the Indica dominance of these beauties, Critical Fast Version plants rarely reach much taller than 1 meter at most and come with a naturally robust resilience to disease or pests. However, they also end up more susceptible to mold or bud rot due to excessive moisture build-up if you’re not careful.

 

Avoid this with an adequate indoor cultivation setup where you have full control over the temperature and humidity and that’s your other main worry effectively neutralized when growing Critical Fast Version.

 

For those after the speediest harvest possible, opt for a Sea of Green (SOG) setup with a hydroponic cultivation medium and you’re certain to be harvesting your crop faster than you ever thought possible.

 

Indoors is definitely the way to go with this hybrid, where, after as few as 6 weeks you can expect yields of between 500 and 600 grams per meter squared. Outdoors, even in optimal climates with abundant warmth and light, you’re looking at between 100 and 500 grams per plant.
