There are a few nice phenos with critical mass, though the tight-budded is my favorite as well. Critical Mass is the original Big Bud genetics that has been reworked by Shanti (the original breeder of BB) since he landed over at Mr. Nice Seeds. Seems to have taken care of the "potency problem" some experienced with Big Bid. They don't feminize seeds at MNS due to instability that happens with the genetics with a lot of feminized seeds. The CM gives about 3 different phenos that I have seen so far, AND if you have the ability to grow out a nice stud you can save the pollen from the best and use it at a later time to cross with another strain and perhaps wind up with your own strian with the high you like plus CM yield.
Basically, I like it
Iwells, have you had the 45-55 day pheno yet? Not bad either! Was definitly more indica than the other 2 phenos I have seen.
