About Critical Bilbo
Critical Bilbo is a legendary clone-only, indica-dominant hybrid selection that originated in Bilbao, Spain, in 2001. A unique phenotype of Critical Mass (Afghani x Skunk #1), it became the most famous and widely grown strain in Spain, launching the country's 'Critical' obsession. The flowers are unusually large, airy but heavy, and absolutely dripping with sweet, sticky resin. The aroma is intense, carrying sweet honey, ripe fruits, lemon-citrus, and a classic Skunk undertone. It is famous for its fast flowering time (just 45-50 days) and high yields. Critical Bilbo provides a pleasant, relaxing physical stone accompanied by a happy, giggly cerebral buzz.
