Toxic by Ripper Seeds

Toxic is what happens when Ripper Seeds crosses its two most decorated varieties: Ripper Haze and Criminal+. The aim was a plant with heavy production in both flowers and trichomes, combining the aroma and effect of Ripper Haze with the speed and productivity of Criminal+. The breeder sums it up as the sweet sativa of its catalog.

Toxic is sativa dominant, yet it flowers in about 60 to 70 days indoors and builds hard, compact buds on a structure with little foliage. That combination makes it unusually tough against mold and pests, even in humid conditions.

Flavor, aroma, yield, resin, and potency all line up here, and the trophy list proves it: first prizes at Spannabis 2013, the Catalunya Grows Cup Professional 2014, the UCLA Cup 2016, and Expogrow 2016, among others.

Lineage: Ripper Haze x Criminal+

Ripper Haze, the breeder’s Amnesia Haze selection, supplies the sativa backbone: unmistakable citrus Haze aroma, an intense and stimulating cerebral effect, and real aromatic complexity. It defines Toxic’s terpene profile and the type of high that sets it apart.

Criminal+, the fastest and most productive plant in the catalog, brings quick flowering, high yields of compact flowers, and resistance to mold and pests. Its sweet fruit rounds off the Haze citrus. The result has collected first prize indoors at Spannabis 2013 Barcelona, first prize in resins at the Catalunya Grows Cup Professional 2014 and at Expogrow 2016, and first prize among sativas at the UCLA Cup 2016, plus second places at the Catalunya Grows Cup Amateur 2013 (resins), Expogrow 2015 (extractions), Neurocopa 2016 (sativa), and THC Valencia 2017 (outdoor).

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

Toxic has a profile of real depth. Vivid, pungent Haze citrus sets the base, while a sweet, fruity layer from Criminal+ softens and rounds it off. It is highly aromatic with a strong presence, and every sniff seems to reveal another nuance.

On the palate the citrus hits first, sweet fruit follows, and the Haze spice ties it together on the exhale. It is the kind of flavor that rewards a slow session rather than a rushed one.

The effect is intense, stimulating, and potent, with the cerebral signature of Ripper Haze taking center stage. Energy and euphoria show up from the very first moment, while just enough indica from Criminal+ keeps the ride balanced and not overwhelming. It is a daytime sativa for creative work, music, and active plans.

Growing Toxic Indoors and Outdoors

Toxic grows with a sativa frame, sparse foliage, and hard, compact flowers. That open structure lets air move freely, which is why the breeder rates it as highly resistant to mold, pests, and humidity. A short vegetative phase is enough before switching to flower.

Indoors, flowering takes 60 to 65 days on most plants, with the breeder’s spec range running up to 70 days. The indoor yield is high at 500 to 600 g/m² (1.64-1.97 oz/ft²). Expect some sativa stretch after the flip; a SCROG net or early topping keeps the canopy even.

Outdoors, Toxic is ready to harvest in October in the Northern Hemisphere, with a high yield of 400 to 1,000 g (14.1-35.3 oz) per plant. Its mold resistance makes it a smart option for gardens where early fall brings humid mornings, and it consistently delivers from harvest to harvest.
