Not an actual strain

Critical is the answer to the question most commercial growers actually ask - what yields the most weight in the shortest time without sacrificing smoke quality? The genetic answer RQS landed on is Afghani x Skunk, an indica-dominant cross that compresses a classic heavy-stone Afghan profile into a plant that finishes in seven weeks. This isn't a connoisseur strain and isn't trying to be. It's a production pick built around a specific calculation: maximum grams per square meter per week, with enough potency and flavor to stand up to retail-grade expectations.
