Critical Lights is a heavy-hitting Indica strain that merges the high-yielding characteristics of Critical with the resin production and stability of Northern Lights No. 5.

The buds are dense, sticky, and aromatic, exuding a spicy-fruity scent that’s both nostalgic and unique.


Visually, the strain forms thick colas covered in glistening trichomes that can weigh down its branches — support is recommended during late flowering. Critical Lights’ balance of strength, flavour, and ease of growth has made it a favourite among growers and consumers alike.


Growing Information:

Critical Lights is a robust and resilient plant suitable for both indoor and outdoor setups. Indoors, it completes flowering in about 8 weeks, yielding up to 600 g/m² with minimal maintenance. Outdoors, it thrives in sunny climates and can produce up to 1500 g per plant by mid-September. The plant grows to medium-tall heights with a bushy structure and dense, resin-rich buds that require airflow and light penetration for best results. Its resistance to pests and mould, combined with its rapid flowering, makes it an excellent strain for growers of all experience levels.


Flavour and Aromas:

Critical Lights offers a rich and balanced aromatic profile. Expect a strong spicy and earthy scent reminiscent of classic Afghan heritage, enhanced by the sweet, fruity undertones of Critical. When smoked, the flavour starts with peppery spice and transitions into a smooth, sugary fruit finish. The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, contributing to its relaxing, musky depth; caryophyllene, adding a peppery warmth; and terpinolene, which provides a floral-fruity twist that rounds out the palate.


Strain Lineage:

• Critical: Known for its high yields, rapid flowering, and sweet, fruity aroma, this strain contributes power and production to the cross.

• Northern Lights No. 5: A world-famous Indica prized for its stability, resin output, and smooth, calming effects.
