Critical Bilbo Bulk [100 units]

The origins of Critical Bilbo Granel

Critical Bilbao Bulk is a selection from the legendary Critical line, the result of crossing Afghani and Skunk genetics, which gained popularity in northern Spain due to its vigor, speed, and extreme production. This feminized bulk seed version maintains the classic Critical Bilbao profile: compact plants, very short flowering times, and dense buds with an unmistakable sweet-citrus aroma.

Indoor and outdoor growing methods for Critical Bilbo Bulk

Indoors, it stands out for its rapid growth and uniformity. It tolerates densities of 9-16 plants per m2 in SOG with short growth (2-3 weeks) to fill the space with a single tip per plant. In SCROG, it responds very well to topping and training, forming a uniform canopy of heavy flowers. It is advisable to install a carbon filter, as its aroma is very intense during flowering. Due to the weight of the buds, it is recommended to support branches in the final weeks.

Outdoors, its short cycle allows harvesting before severe cold spells and rains, minimizing risks. It reaches its peak yield in temperate-Mediterranean climates. In humid areas, good ventilation, selective leaf removal, and humidity control are recommended to prevent botrytis in tightly packed buds. In large pots or in direct soil, it develops robust, medium-to-tall plants with abundant yields.
