Old Sweet Critical

Old Sweet Critical is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 19-25% on average, with 0.4% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

Users describe the Old Sweet Critical high as an immediate uplifting cerebral rush that sharpens focus and sets off waves of creative energy, keeping you motivated and sociable without weighing down the body. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. Because of these effects, Old Sweet Critical is often chosen for managing mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect sweet up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a sweet finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has chunky popcorn-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Old Sweet Critical offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Old family — see Old School and Old School Afghani for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
