Amnesia Auto by Kera Seeds
Amnesia Haze x Ruderalis
Amnesia Auto from Kera Seeds is an autoflowering hybrid developed to capture the essence of the classic Amnesia Haze in a quicker, more compact format. By integrating Cannabis ruderalis genetics with a traditional Amnesia lineage, this strain offers a Haze-like experience that matures significantly faster than its photoperiod counterparts. It is designed for growers seeking potent effects and a distinctive aroma profile in a more manageable timeframe.
Appearance and Morphology
Amnesia Auto typically grows to a height of 60-120 cm indoors and 80-130 cm outdoors. Its structure is moderately open, featuring stacked, spear-shaped buds that may exhibit slight foxtailing under intense conditions. The plant's foliage is characteristically hybridized, with leaves narrower than indica types but wider than pure sativa varieties. Mature flowers are densely covered in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and pistils transition from white to orange or rust hues.
The buds are medium-sized with calyxes that swell in the final weeks of flowering. Bracts often display subtle green tones that contrast with the orange pistils and silvery trichomes. While stems are generally sturdy, support may be beneficial for midweight flowers, especially in outdoor environments subject to wind.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Amnesia Auto is characterized by a bright citrus zest, layered over notes of incense, pine, and a subtle herbal sweetness. Initial scents often include lemon and grapefruit, combined with a classic Haze incense reminiscent of cedar and sandalwood. Secondary aromas can present as sweet melon, fresh herbs, and light earthiness, reflecting its hybrid nature. The overall bouquet is described as clean and invigorating.
Upon inhalation, the flavor profile leans heavily into citrus, evoking lemon-lime soda with a crisp pine undertone and an herbal incense finish. The exhale may reveal peppery notes from caryophyllene and a hint of anise, followed by a lingering grapefruit pith bitterness. Well-cured flowers can develop deeper nuances of cedar, tea, and honeyed herbs over time.
Effects
Amnesia Auto is known for delivering a cerebral lift, often described as uplifting and invigorating. Its effects are predominantly sativa-leaning, providing a clear-headed experience that can enhance focus and creativity. The strain is generally considered to promote a sense of calm without inducing heavy sedation, making it suitable for daytime use.
Users report a balanced experience that can help alleviate feelings of stress. The cerebral nature of the effects is a hallmark of its Haze heritage, offering a mentally stimulating yet calm disposition.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Amnesia Auto typically contains THC levels ranging from 16% to 21%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is notable for its complex aromatic qualities, often featuring dominant terpenes such as terpinolene and limonene. Beta-caryophyllene contributes a peppery undertone, while myrcene and ocimene may also be present, adding to the strain's overall aroma and potential effects.
The combination of these cannabinoids and terpenes contributes to the strain's distinctive citrus and incense-like aroma, as well as its cerebral and calming effects. The terpene profile is key to its Haze-forward character and its appeal in breeding for aromatic qualities.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflowering hybrid, Amnesia Auto flowers automatically, typically completing its lifecycle from seed to harvest in approximately 10-12 weeks. It thrives under long daily light cycles, such as 18/6 or 20/4. The plant's moderate internodal spacing and slightly open structure allow for good airflow, contributing to mold resistance. Growers can employ gentle training techniques like Low Stress Training (LST) to optimize canopy evenness and light penetration.
The yield is considered moderate to good, with plants reaching manageable heights suitable for various growing environments. Its autoflowering nature makes it a practical choice for growers with limited space or time, offering a faster turnaround compared to traditional photoperiod strains while maintaining significant resin density.
Origins and Lineage
Amnesia Auto by Kera Seeds is a stabilized autoflowering version of the renowned Amnesia Haze. It was developed by crossing a classic Amnesia Haze cut with Cannabis ruderalis genetics. The primary goal of this breeding effort was to retain the distinctive Haze aroma and uplifting cerebral effects while significantly reducing the flowering time and plant size, making it more accessible for cultivation.
The original Amnesia lineage is rooted in Dutch breeding programs, combining classic Haze genetics with indica stock to improve structure and density. This autoflowering variant aims to preserve the sativa-leaning character, including its terpinolene-forward bouquet and potent cerebral impact, in a convenient, fast-finishing package.
