Grow facts come from the breeder first, then seed banks and strain databases. With 2 sources we show the range and the middle; with 3 or more, the range and the median, after leaving out values far from the rest. The breeder's own value is the anchor, unless it is far from every other source (outside their range and more than 20% from their median); then we show the full range and the median of all of them. A fact from a single source is marked "1 source", and a fact no source lists is left out. Yields are converted to one unit: indoor per square meter, outdoor per plant.
CTU writes every profile from these facts; we do not copy other sites' descriptions. Values that are a generic default in the source data are left out. Last checked Oct 21, 2026.

About Super Critical
Super Critical is a hybrid cannabis strain attributed to Green House Seeds. The parent strains on record are Big Bud and Skunk #1.
Super Critical THC level
Public listings give Super Critical a THC level of 13%, which is in the lower third of our dataset. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 5% of them. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.
Super Critical aroma, flavor and terpenes
Its most-reported flavor notes are earthy, citrus and woody. The terpenes listed most often are limonene (citrus), caryophyllene (peppery, spicy) and myrcene (earthy, musky). Limonene is the lead terpene for about 21% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a less common lead. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.
Reported effects of Super Critical
People who have tried Super Critical most often report feeling focused, talkative, happy, hungry and relaxed. These are user reports, not promises. Effects differ from person to person and depend on dose, setting and tolerance.
