Amnesia Auto by Zoo Seeds
Amnesia Haze × Cannabis Ruderalis
Amnesia Auto by Zoo Seeds is a modern autoflowering cultivar designed to capture the essence of the classic Amnesia Haze. It delivers a Haze-forward aroma and energizing effects in a day-neutral plant that finishes quickly, making it suitable for various growing conditions and seasons.
Appearance
This sativa-leaning autoflower typically grows to a height of 70-120 cm indoors and can exceed 100-140 cm outdoors. It features an open, branchy structure with long lateral branches, narrow, serrated leaves indicative of its sativa heritage, and moderate internode spacing. The buds often form elongated, candle-like colas, and some phenotypes may exhibit slight foxtailing. Pistils transition from white to orange and rust as the plant matures, and generous trichome coverage gives the buds a silvery appearance.
Dried flowers are medium in density with a calyx-forward structure, offering a good calyx-to-leaf ratio that facilitates trimming. Well-cultivated specimens display lime to forest green hues, complemented by amber pistils and a frosty trichome coating that suggests potency. The buds maintain their form after curing, indicating healthy dehydration and preserved terpene content.
Aroma & Flavor
Amnesia Auto emits a bright aroma characterized by notes of lemon zest and sweet citrus, layered over a base of incense and fresh herbs. Breaking apart the buds releases further complexity, including hints of crushed pepper, anise, and cedar, typical of Haze-dominant strains. As the resin matures, the scent deepens into a sweet spice while retaining its prominent lemon character. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering initial notes of lemon peel and sweet herbal tea, followed by peppery spice and a subtle woody incense on the finish, leaving a clean and mouthwatering citrus sensation.
Effects
Amnesia Auto is described as sativa-dominant in its effects, providing an uplifting and clear-headed experience, particularly when harvested with minimal amber trichomes. As the resin matures, the effects may become more balanced, incorporating a greater body sensation. Its energizing and enlivening qualities make it a popular choice for growers seeking a fast-acting sativa experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages vary, Amnesia Auto is noted for its rich terpene profile, with total terpene content often falling between 1.5-3.0% by dry weight in well-grown plants. The breeder's reputation and its use in breeding programs suggest consistent aromatic output. The THC content typically ranges from 17-22%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
This autoflowering strain is well-suited for growers seeking efficiency, finishing from seed in approximately 10-12 weeks (70-85 days indoors). Its day-neutral nature allows for cultivation in smaller spaces and shorter seasons, and it can potentially yield multiple harvests per season for outdoor growers in higher latitudes. Amnesia Auto generally exhibits limited photoperiod sensitivity, a characteristic of well-stabilized autoflowers, and responds well to low-stress training.
Origins & Lineage
Amnesia Auto by Zoo Seeds is an autoflowering version of the classic European Amnesia. It was developed by combining ruderalis genetics to introduce the day-neutral trait with traditional Amnesia lines, which themselves are descended from the Haze complex, incorporating tropical sativa influences. The breeding process focused on preserving the distinctive citrus-incense character of Amnesia while shortening the cultivation cycle.
