Critical Mass was created by crossing an Afghani indica with renowned heavyweight Skunk #1, thus creating a soothing bud with a potent knock-out punch.

I am currently growing one Critical Mass and she’s a weirdo. As a seedling she had a main stem but as she grew it disappeared and turned into a big green ball coming out of the soil. After I defoliated her today it looks like she did a lst on herself, fat stems going to the side then upright. She’s very short and bushy with a ton of buds. My first seed didn’t germinate, this is the second. I’ll grow another in the fall to see if this oddity happens again. She’s so sticky, can’t wait for harvest.
