Critigal+
Critigal+ is a modern hybrid strain derived from Skunk No. 1. Developed to balance efficiency with notable output, this cultivar is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow that thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers favor this strain for its high yield potential and rapid 48-day flowering cycle. Its genetic stability has allowed it to serve as a foundational parent for other varieties, most notably in the development of the offspring strain Nordés.
The terpene profile of Critigal+ is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene, which collectively shape its sensory characteristics. These compounds work in concert to define the strain's aromatic and flavor profile, reflecting the specific chemical composition of its lineage. This combination provides a distinct profile that is consistent across properly cured samples, grounding the user experience in its verified terpene dominance.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Critigal+ is recognized for inducing effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make the strain a frequent choice for those managing stress, physical pain, or difficulty sleeping. By bridging the gap between therapeutic utility and a balanced emotional profile, Critigal+ remains a functional option within the modern cannabis landscape.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
