Amnesia Haze Original
Amnesia Haze Original
Also known as: Amnesia Haze, Amsterdam Amnesia
Overview
Amnesia Haze is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid originally developed by Soma Seeds, tracing its genetics back to South Asian and Jamaican landrace strains including Afghani Hawaiian, Southeast Asian (Thai, Cambodian, Laotian), and Jamaican genetics. This Cannabis Cup winner captured first place at the 2004 Cannabis Cup and the 2012 Sativa Cup, becoming popularized in Amsterdam coffee shops throughout the Netherlands. The strain features an 80% sativa to 20% indica ratio, making it an ideal choice for daytime use and clear-headed thinking. Amnesia Haze produces dense flower clusters that are hard to the touch when properly cured, with buds so well-crystallized they appear to have been glazed with exotic toffee that sparkles and refracts light. The strain's overdrive trichome production makes it highly prized for hash and extract production, with its large resin production making it ideal for high-quality concentrates. The buds display light green colors with darker brown strands and are covered in a blanket of trichomes. Over the years, this strain has become one of the most famous, demanded, and awarded Haze genetics in history, with different breeders developing various lines that maintain the characteristic flavor and powerful effects while improving flowering time and disease resistance.

Growing Information
For growers, Amnesia Haze presents a moderate challenge with a notably long flowering time of 12-13 weeks, but rewards patience with excellent yields and exceptional quality. Plants tend to grow tall and vigorous typical of sativa-dominant strains, with outdoor specimens sometimes reaching heights up to four meters, making them ideal for spacious outdoor gardens while indoor growers may need height control techniques. Indoors, the strain expresses dominant sativa genetics and tends to stretch substantially, even when put on a 12-12 lighting regime straight from cloning. Growing can be challenging, especially for inexperienced growers, as the strain is relatively susceptible to pests and has risk of over-fertilization, leading many growers to choose indoor cultivation to minimize external influences. Outdoors, the sativa-dominant lineage thrives in warm climates with long days, performing best near the equator in locations like Southern Spain, Northern Australia, California, or Northern Africa. A full outdoor season from seed produces monstrous plants with long spears of dense flower clusters, requiring regular watering and organic soil supplementation. Due to long flowering time and dense resinous flowers, good ventilation is crucial during flowering to avoid mold and fungi issues.
