This infamous sativa strain is the proud winner of multiple Cannabis Cups, solidifying its regal position within the cannabis world. Bred using&nbsp;the genetics of&nbsp;<a href="/strains/nyc-diesel">NYC Diesel</a>, Black Diesel&rsquo;s dense purple flowers have not only an impressive appearance, but also an intense, favorable pungence with sour and fruity undertones. Bred by Advanced Seeds, this plant struggles with mold resistance but compensates with a high yield and THC content. Although Black Diesel produces some traditionally indica effects, patients often find this strain to be well-balanced, beginning with an intense sativa onset followed by a heavy-lidded indica lull.

In small doses, this strain will have you <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lists/effect/creative">feeling creative</a> and calm. In large doses, you&#39;ll likely find yourself <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lists/effect/sleepy">feeling sleepy</a> and in a couchlock. Critical mass gets its name because of its ability to reach &quot;critical mass&quot; in terms of growing. When growing, branches of this strain tend to snap off from the heavy weight of its buds - which are dense, heavy and tasty. The downside of Critical Mass is that this strain is particularly susceptible to mold, so growers have to be extra cautious with humidity. Flowering time for Critical Mass is approximately 6-8 weeks. This strain originated from the breeder Mr. Nice Seed Bank.
