Critical Mass

Afghani × Skunk #1 · Mr. Nice Seedbank

Critical Mass is the Mr. Nice Seedbank Afghani × Skunk #1 cross that became one of the gold-standard sleep-leaning indicas on the catalog. The plant is famous for the dense, heavy yields that earned the name, and the flower carries that weight into the high: a deep, slow body sedation that builds within twenty minutes and holds for a couple of hours. A nighttime strain, not a daytime one.

Flavor is earthy and sweet with a classic skunk underbase, a profile that distinguishes it from the dessert-heavy modern catalog. Myrcene-dominant, with measurable CBD often in the 0.5 to 1.5 percent range, which is unusual for a high-THC indica. Some users describe it as the strain that pulls a long day off the body. Common on California and NY menus for adults 21+ shopping evening flower.
