Amnesia Auto CBD by Dinafem
Ruderalis × Amnesia × CBD-rich strains
Amnesia Auto CBD by Dinafem is an autoflowering hybrid that reinterprets the classic Amnesia profile with a CBD-rich twist. Bred for approachability, it offers a gentler experience than its photoperiod ancestors, making it suitable for daytime use and wellness routines. Its autoflowering nature ensures a quick and predictable harvest cycle.
Appearance and Morphology
This autoflowering hybrid typically grows to a compact or medium height, ranging from 60–110 cm indoors. It develops a balanced structure with a prominent central cola and well-formed lateral branches, responding well to low-stress training. The leaves exhibit a hybrid morphology, and the buds are often lime to forest green, adorned with orange to amber pistils. While trichome coverage is present, CBD-leaning phenotypes may appear less frosty than their THC-dominant counterparts.
During early bloom, plants may experience moderate stretching. The flowers tend to be dense, forming in compact, golf-ball to torpedo shapes with a slight sativa taper. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, which can simplify the trimming process.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Amnesia Auto CBD is strongly reminiscent of its Haze heritage, featuring prominent notes of crisp lemon and sweet orange, complemented by undertones of wood and incense. Many phenotypes also express a fresh, herbal brightness, sometimes likened to eucalyptus or crushed pine needles. Upon proper curing, a subtle honeyed floral scent may emerge, softening the sharper citrus notes.
When consumed, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with a zesty citrus taste followed by juniper-like spice and a hint of pepper. A dry pull can reveal a nuanced basil-lime character, and the lingering aftertaste often includes notes of citron, cedar, and sandalwood.
Effects
Amnesia Auto CBD is designed to provide a gentler, more balanced experience compared to traditional Amnesia strains. The presence of CBD alongside moderate THC levels contributes to a calmer, more clear-headed effect. Users often report feeling more focused and creative without overwhelming psychoactivity.
This strain's profile makes it a suitable choice for daytime consumption and for individuals seeking a less intense, more manageable cannabis experience. The balanced cannabinoid content aims to reduce the potential for anxiety or overstimulation often associated with high-THC Haze varieties.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Amnesia Auto CBD typically exhibits a terpinolene-dominant or co-dominant terpene profile, consistent with Haze genetics. Other terpenes commonly found include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and ocimene. These contribute to its complex aroma and flavor, offering notes from citrus and floral to herbal and peppery.
Cannabinoid analysis often shows THC levels ranging from 6–12% and CBD levels from 6–15%, frequently resulting in a near 1:1 or slightly CBD-leaning ratio. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present in trace amounts, potentially modulating the overall effects.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflowering strain, Amnesia Auto CBD initiates flowering based on age rather than light cycle, typically flowering within 3-4 weeks from germination and finishing in under 80 days from seed. It is generally considered forgiving and adaptable, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. Its compact size and relatively quick turnaround are advantageous for indoor grows or spaces with limited room.
The plant's genetic blend, incorporating ruderalis, indica, and sativa, contributes to its resilience and steady yields. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though controlled indoor conditions can optimize its growth and cannabinoid expression.
Origins and Lineage
Amnesia Auto CBD is a creation by Dinafem, who aimed to produce an autoflowering, CBD-rich version of the renowned Amnesia strain. This cultivar blends ruderalis genetics for its autoflowering trait with carefully selected Amnesia and CBD-rich lines. The goal was to retain the aromatic complexity of Amnesia while moderating its potency and enhancing its user-friendliness.
The original Amnesia lineage is rooted in Haze genetics, often incorporating Thai, Mexican, and Afghani influences. Dinafem's work with Amnesia Auto CBD represents a modern approach, integrating advancements in autoflowering technology and a growing demand for balanced cannabinoid profiles in cannabis breeding.
