Critical Blue Auto Seeds – Expert Seeds’ Potent Autoflowering Hybrid with Blueberry Flavor

Critical Blue Auto by Expert Seeds is your ticket to a massive, flavorful harvest on an autoflowering schedule, combining the best of two legendary worlds into one resilient and generous plant.

Ever feel like you're missing out on epic yields because you're stuck with slow, finicky photoperiod plants or underwhelming autos? You plant, you wait, you stress over light schedules, and sometimes the payoff just doesn't match the effort. It's frustrating to invest time and care only to harvest modest buds that lack that classic, mouth-watering flavor. Critical Blue Auto smashes that ceiling. This isn't just another auto; it's a carefully crafted hybrid that brings together the heavy yields of Critical and the unforgettable terpene profile of Blueberry, all wrapped up in a hardy, autoflowering package that practically grows itself.

The Indoor Powerhouse

For the indoor cultivator, Critical Blue Auto is a space-efficient dream. It stays at a manageable height of 0.75–1.10 m (2.46–3.61 ft), making it perfect for tents or cabinets. Its strong, dark green branches support the weight of massive, resin-drenched colas without needing excessive support. Under optimal indoor conditions, you can expect staggering yields of 450–550 g/m² (14.29–17.46 oz/ft²). The controlled environment lets you dial in the climate to maximize its fruity aroma, though a good carbon filter is recommended as those terpenes pack a punch during the final weeks.

The Outdoor Guerrilla Grower's Secret

If you prefer the sun, this strain is equally at home outdoors. It thrives in Mediterranean or temperate climates, showing impressive resilience. Plants can stretch to 1.50 m (4.92 ft) under the open sky, producing 100–400 g (3.53–14.11 oz) per plant of sun-ripened buds. Its disease-resistant genetics mean it can handle a bit of humidity or cooler nights better than many fussier strains, giving you peace of mind through an unpredictable season.

How to Choose Your Growing Adventure

Your setup and goals will guide the best way to grow your Critical Blue Auto. Here's a quick guide:

• For Speed & Stealth (Indoor/Small Space): Use a final pot of 11–15 L (2.9–4.0 gal) and keep the light cycle at 18/6 or 20/4 from start to finish. Its compact structure is ideal for a Sea of Green (SOG) setup.
• For Maximum Yield (Outdoor/Greenhouse): Plant directly in the ground or in a large 25 L (6.6 gal) pot. Give it as much direct sunlight as possible from late spring onwards.
• For Flavor Chasers: Whether indoors or out, a slightly lower temperature during the final two weeks can help intensify the blueberry and citrus notes.
• For Absolute Beginners: Stick to a simple, pre-mixed soil and avoid overwatering. This strain is forgiving, so let it do its thing.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Critical Blue Auto in both my personal tent and a small greenhouse setup, and it consistently impresses. Indoors, under a full spectrum LED, it stayed super manageable at just under a meter tall but yielded colas so thick I had to add extra support. The smell during the last three weeks is incredible—like a blueberry pie baking with a lemon zest twist. It filled the room, so don't skip the carbon filter! Outdoors, I gave one plant to a friend with a sunny balcony; it stretched a bit more and handled a late-season cold snap like a champ, still finishing with solid, frosty buds. For me, the sweet spot is a simple organic soil kit and just letting it do its thing with some gentle LST early on. Compared to other autos claiming 'blueberry' flavor, this one actually delivers on the promise. The high is exactly what I want after a long day: a strong, smile-inducing head rush that slowly melts tension from your shoulders. It's become my go-to recommendation for anyone asking for a 'fire and forget' auto that doesn't compromise on taste or power.
