What is Critical Genetics?
Critical genetics originated in the 1990s with the creation of Critical Mass, an improved version of Big Bud developed by Shantibaba and Nevil Schoenmakers for Mr Nice. This hybrid revolutionized the market with its incredible yield, ease of cultivation, and potent, penetrating aroma profile.
One of the major milestones was the appearance of the famous Critical Bilbo cutting, a Basque selection of Critical Mass that swept the cannabis cups, consolidating itself as an essential reference.
