Super Critical Feminized Seeds · Green House Seeds · High-Yield Indica-Dominant Powerhouse

The Super Critical Feminized seed from Green House Seeds is a legendary, high-yielding indica-dominant hybrid that has been a top-seller for decades, renowned for its explosive growth, massive bud production, and a deeply narcotic, relaxing effect that hits fast and hard.

Are you tired of juggling a dozen different strains, each with its own fussy demands and unpredictable results?

You want a reliable workhorse in your garden, a strain that delivers consistent, heavy yields without needing constant babying or expert-level techniques. Yet, you're stuck cycling through genetics that either underperform, are too finicky, or leave you with a mediocre harvest that doesn't justify the effort and space.

This clutter of underachieving plants creates chaos, wastes your time, and leaves you unsure of what to expect come harvest day. You end up with a tent full of variables instead of a guaranteed result, always wondering if this run will finally be the one.

The solution is simplifying your setup with a proven champion. Super Critical is that foundational strain. It consolidates the best traits of its legendary parents—Big Bud's yield, Skunk's vigor, and White Widow's resin production—into one incredibly reliable and productive plant. It's the single seed you need to build a minimalist, high-output garden around.

Less clutter, more colossal buds

Super Critical replaces the need for multiple "experimental" strains with one proven heavyweight. Its genetics are a masterclass in consolidation: it brings the monstrous bud structure of Big Bud, the resilient growth and pungent aroma of Skunk, and the iconic, frosty resin coverage of White Widow. You get three legendary lineages in one easy-to-grow package.

This strain is built for volume and simplicity. Its structure is impressive and predictable, forming long branches laden with dense, trichome-heavy colas. It's a plant that knows its job: to grow big and produce a lot, without demanding constant intervention. It's the cornerstone of a streamlined, high-yield garden.

What you can simplify once you have it

• Strain Selection Headaches: Stop researching and testing new genetics every cycle. Super Critical is a proven, repeatable winner.
• Uncertain Yields: Eliminate the guesswork. With proper care, you can reliably expect up to 800 g/m² (2.6 oz/ft²) indoors or 1200 g (2.65 lb) per plant outdoors.
• Complex Feeding Schedules: While it appreciates nutrients, its robust Skunk heritage makes it more forgiving than finicky modern hybrids.
• Worry About Mold: Its dense buds are surprisingly resistant to botrytis, a common issue with other high-yielders.
• Space Inefficiency: Its medium, branchy structure is ideal for techniques like Sea of Green (SoG) or Screen of Green (ScrOG), maximizing your canopy space.
• Long Flowering Waits: Get to harvest fast with an indoor flowering time of just 7-8 weeks.

How to build a more minimalist set-up with this strain

1. Audit Your Garden: Clear out underperforming or unstable genetics. Make space for reliability.
2. Center Your Cycle: Plan your next grow around Super Critical as your main crop. Its predictable timeline makes scheduling easier.
3. Optimize Your Technique: Leverage its love for SoG/ScrOG. A simple screen and a complete nutrient kit are often all you need.
4. Streamline Feeding: Use a balanced, two-part base nutrient during veg and a robust bloom booster during flowering. Less is often more with this hardy strain.
5. Focus on Environment: With a predictable plant, you can dial in your perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit), lighting, and airflow without adjusting for multiple plant needs.
6. Harvest with Confidence: Follow its clear signs of maturity (milky trichomes with some amber) for a heavy, narcotic effect.

Advantages and benefits of a simpler kit

• Predictable Results: Know exactly what you're growing and what to expect, harvest after harvest.
• Maximized Yield per Watt: Focus your light and nutrients on a plant genetically programmed to convert them into massive buds.
• Reduced Labor: Fewer problems to troubleshoot means more time enjoying the grow.
• Deep, Reliable Relaxation: The effect is a fast-hitting, physically intense stone that is perfect for evening use, pain relief, and combating insomnia.
• Classic, Rich Flavor: Enjoy a hearty smoke with sweet, skunky, and flowery notes dominated by myrcene, pinene, and humulene terpenes.

How to grow Super Critical seeds

Quick Overview: A feminized photoperiod strain ideal for growers wanting high yields without extreme difficulty. Perfect for indoor SoG/ScrOG or outdoor in warm climates.

Safe Start & Strong Roots:

• Germinate in a warm, humid environment (22-25°C / 71-77°F).
• Transplant to final pots early to avoid stress. Start in small pots and move to 11-20 L (2.9-5.3 gal) containers.
• Use a well-aerated substrate and consider adding a mycorrhizal inoculant to boost root development and nutrient uptake from the start.

Veg for Structure:

• Run an 18/6 light cycle. It stretches moderately after the flip.
• Topping once or twice early on encourages the bushy, branchy structure it's known for.
• Implement LST (Low Stress Training) or set up a ScrOG net to maximize light penetration and support heavy colas later.
• Feed with a balanced, nitrogen-rich vegetative formula.

Flowering for Yield:

• Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering.
• Reduce humidity to 40-50% as buds develop to prevent mold.
• Support branches in weeks 3-5 of flower as buds swell and become heavy.
• Switch to a high-PK bloom fertilizer. A product like PK 20/30 during weeks 3-5 can significantly boost bud density and resin production.
• Flush with plain water for the final 7-10 days.

Harvest & Cure for Potency:

• Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with 10-30% amber for a strong, relaxing effect.
• Dry slowly in a dark environment at 18-22°C (64-72°F) and 50-60% RH for 10-14 days.
• Cure in airtight jars for a minimum of 2-4 weeks, burping daily, to smooth the smoke and enhance flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Super Critical really enough as a single main strain?

Absolutely. Its balanced yet heavy-hitting effect and massive yield potential make it a perfect cornerstone strain. You can grow it cycle after cycle for consistent, top-shelf results without needing to constantly experiment.

What other elements does it work best with if I don't want to give up other strains?

It pairs perfectly as a heavy-yielding "base" in your garden. Complement it with a single, more sativa-dominant or high-THC strain for variety. Its 8-week flowering time also makes it easy to schedule alongside other photoperiod plants.

How do I organize my grow around Super Critical?

Design your space for its medium, bushy structure. Use a ScrOG net to create an even canopy. Because it's a hungry feeder, have your nutrient schedule planned out from the start. Its predictability lets you dial in every other environmental variable (light, temp, humidity) perfectly.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Super Critical has been a staple in my personal grows for years, and it's the strain I recommend to anyone who asks for a "no-BS, high-yield indica." It's the definition of a workhorse. In my tent, I use it primarily for ScrOG. I veg for about 4 weeks under 18/6, topping once and weaving the branches through the net. The stretch after flipping to 12/12 is manageable—about 1.5x—so planning the screen height is easy.

The real magic happens around week 5 of flower. The buds just start stacking and don't stop, becoming these rock-hard, frosty spears that need good support. I feed it heavily but find it less prone to nutrient burn than some other modern hybrids. The key for me is a strong PK boost in mid-flower to really pack on the weight. Compared to finicky "hype" strains, Super Critical just gets the job done, every single time. The smoke is exactly what you'd expect from its lineage: a classic, heavy, skunky indica that puts you on the couch. It's not the most exotic flavor on the block, but for sheer potency and yield reliability, it's incredibly hard to beat. My advice? Don't overcomplicate it. Give it light, food, and support, and it will reward you massively.
