Rare, Beautiful, Potent as Hell

 

Bud Basics

Critical Widow is one of those simply sublime examples of marijuana breeding at its finest. This highly coveted and extremely rare hybrid is just exactly that. Coming to us from a cross between fabled Amsterdam legend White Widow and the consistently prodigious producer Critical Mass, few strains are more deserving of the title of ‘Must Try’ as Critical Widow.

 

Tipping the scales at 60% Sativa, 40% Indica, this hybrid is a vibrant and vivacious specimen at home among the highest THC strains with a whopping average of 27% content.

 

Oh, but she’s far more than merely a THC powerhouse with a kick like a mule. Critical Widow Feminized boasts all the best of her parent strains, granting growers not only one of the easiest cultivations around but certainly one of the most bountiful, too.

 

And with that Sativa dominance comes another welcome addition - one seriously enjoyable spacey cerebral high and downright delicious flavor profile.

 

What’s more, those hoping to grow Critical Widow from seed are in for a treat - this hybrid is as good as guaranteed to reward you with a hefty and healthy harvest of dense bugs just bursting with bag appeal for days.

 

Some say this strain makes the absolute perfect afternoon pot companion, most ideal for unwinding your day, giggling to yourself or amongst friends and forgetting all your cares. Those with higher THC tolerances might find themselves able to act on Critical Widow Fem’s occasional bursts of creative influence, but anyone new to consuming cannabis should take care - these buds are going to hit you so hard you might feel like you’re wearing your own face backwards.

 

Ride the Critical Widow wave just right though, and you’re in for an uplifting and cerebrally energizing experience filled with side-splitting giggle fits, mouthwatering sensory delights and as damn near close to a ‘perfect’ high as you can get.

Flavor and Fragrance of Critical Widow 

Critical Widow takes after her Critical Mass parent in true style here, boasting a lip-smacking experience fuelled by a wondrous blend of myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene and pinene terpenes that bring about an earthy yet tropical zest.

 

White Widow was never one of the tastiest specimens around, however, in this pot progeny, you can expect a notable sweetness on the nose and tongue, promising and delivering invigorating citric notes sure to have you begging for more.

 

Fresh and grounded with a hint of spiciness on the exhale, this is a flavor and aroma profile you don’t want to miss.

Effects

You’d expect no less from a strain containing a mind-melting average of 27% THC than to be catapulted into kingdom come with but a few tokes… and you’d be about right!

 

Anyone new to consuming cannabis should take care, Critical Widow is designed with the seasoned smokers firmly in mind (but don’t let that stop you sampling this ganja goodness - you can’t build your tolerance if you don’t swim in deeper weed waters).

 

A few hits in, you’re going to feel the powerful effects of this hybrid taking over, charging your mind with a tingling sense of euphoria which simultaneously clears the mind of concern and leaves a notable fogginess that’ll likely have you feeling more than a little dopey.

 

It’s possible for those with higher THC tolerance to notice a distinctive energizing influence at play in the early stages of Critical Widow’s high, though regardless of your tolerance you’ll feel the weight of the world lifted.

 

Long-lasting and profound giggle fits are often not far away when this ganja is involved, and you’ll find yourself feeling remarkably sociable considering the powerful sedative effects that set in as the high wears on.

 

This is definitely not your next go-to strain for a wake and bake, that’s for sure. Treat yourself to Critical Widow Feminized when you have nothing remotely stressful or taxing to do with your time. These buds are perfect for chilling out, enjoying a Netflix and chong session, reading, snacking or doing the mildest of activities at most.

Medical Uses of Critical Widow Feminized 

Though Cannabidiol (CBD) sits under 1%, there is a lot that medical marijuana patients have to gain from using Critical Widow Feminized for a little THC therapy.

 

Of course, given the high THC influence with this hybrid, you should consume this cannabis with care if you want to avoid some of the common less desirable side effects of marijuana. Don’t overindulge, know what to expect and stay hydrated throughout and you’ll get along fine.

 

For those suffering from mental maladies such as stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder or general malaise, Critical Widow gets to work almost immediately at relieving your symptoms, helping to banish negativity, adjust perspective and above all - to relax.

 

Those relaxing properties serve your physical aches and pains remarkably well too, providing solace from the mildest to more severe conditions and helping the user feel less dominated by their pain, more comfortable in their skin and able to enjoy themselves.

 

Loss of appetite can be completely turned around with Critical Widow Fem, which often promotes bouts of ravenous hunger, and when the high draws to a close even those suffering from insomnia will find their lids drooping beyond their control as sleep lures you in.

Growing Critical Widow Feminized Seeds

Growing Critical Widow Feminized seeds is so simple you’d wonder why everyone’s not doing it (it’s down to the rarity of these beans, for sure!).

 

White Widow has long been considered one of the easier strains to cultivate, and while Critical Mass presents cultivators with the additional and inherent challenges that come hand in hand with enormous yields, she’s also a strain that comes strongly recommended for novice growers hoping to hone their cannabis cultivation chops.

 

In Critical Widow, the ease of the Widow genetics helps to soften the experience and make your life a bit easier, but you’ll want to be fully prepared before you get started.

 

First up - due to the enormous yielding propensity of this strain, make sure you’re clear on cannabis plant training techniques and be ready to provide added support to your plants in the form of stakes or trellises. Those buds are going to get huge and heavy and the last thing you want is branches breaking under that pressure.

 

Keeping your Critical Widow Fem plants trimmed and enjoying adequate airflow and light penetration to all areas isn’t going to be difficult thanks to the thin leaves these beauties develop, however, the Sativa is strong with this one - these plants have a habit of growing into veritable marijuana trees if you let them.

 

If you think that’s an exaggeration then just imagine these lime green mammoths stretching up to almost 3 meters tall - that’s nearly 10 feet, and is exactly how high it’s possible for this hybrid to reach.

 

Many growers use High Stress Training (HST) techniques like topping or fimming to keep the behemoth sizes of these beauties in check - an important factor when vertical space is limited. The ScROG (Screen of Green) setup is a commonly used practice when cultivating Critical Widow Feminized.

 

Unless you like in a warm Mediterranean-like climate like California, Spain or Australia, it’s best to opt for growing these seeds indoors where you can control the environment and maintain an ideal temperature and humidity.

 

This may sound like a lot on paper, but in reality, it all translates to a remarkably simple cultivation experience with plants that are naturally abundant, resilient to mold and pests, beautiful and aromatic all in one.

 

Expect between 8 and 10 weeks of flowering, after which indoor growers can look forward to up to 400 grams per meter squared, while optimal outdoor setups can yield up to 500 grams per plant.
