Amnesia Autoflower by Seedstockers
Amnesia Haze × Cannabis Ruderalis
Amnesia Autoflower by Seedstockers is an auto-flowering hybrid developed to capture the essence of the traditional Amnesia Haze in a more manageable and time-efficient plant. By crossing a photoperiod Amnesia with Cannabis ruderalis, Seedstockers created a strain that flowers automatically, offering Haze-like vigor and effects within a compressed 10-12 week lifecycle.
Appearance and Morphology
This autoflowering hybrid typically develops a strong central cola with supportive side branches, reaching a height of 60-120 cm depending on growing conditions. Its flowers are characterized by elongated, tapering formations with dense bracts that become heavily coated in trichomes by late bloom. The plants exhibit a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, which simplifies the trimming process post-harvest.
The leaves generally present a narrow to medium width, indicating a sativa influence balanced by indica genetics for a more compact structure. Pistils are typically copper-orange and darken as the flowers mature. Subtle foxtailing may occur in high-light environments, particularly in phenotypes with higher terpinolene content, but this is usually an aesthetic trait.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
Amnesia Autoflower offers a complex aromatic profile, often described as a blend of citrus, pine, and herbal notes. The flavor follows suit, presenting a palate that can include lemon, orange, and peppery undertones, with hints of floral and coffee nuances. This rich bouquet is a hallmark of its Haze ancestry.
Cannabinoid Content and Terpenes
This strain generally tests between 15-20% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is notable for its diversity, often including compounds like terpinolene, limonene, caryophyllene, humulene, and ocimene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's characteristic aroma and flavor, as well as its reported effects.
Effects and Potential Benefits
Users often report cerebral and energetic effects from Amnesia Autoflower, consistent with its Haze lineage. The experience is typically described as uplifting and invigorating, though it may resolve into a gentle body sensation. Anecdotally, some users find it helpful for managing stress.
Cultivation and Growth
Amnesia Autoflower is bred for ease of cultivation, completing its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing, with plants typically reaching 60-110 cm indoors and 70-120 cm outdoors. The ruderalis genetics provide cold tolerance and automatic flowering, making it practical for multiple harvests per season, even in cooler climates.
This hybrid demonstrates moderate stress tolerance and can handle nutrient levels up to moderate EC. However, it is sensitive to overwatering and aggressive early pruning. Low-stress training techniques are recommended to maximize yield without compromising the plant's fixed vegetative window.
Origins and Lineage
Amnesia Autoflower is an auto-flowering variant of the renowned Amnesia lineage, which emerged in Europe in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its ancestry is believed to involve a convergence of Haze, Skunk, and Northern Lights genetics. Seedstockers developed this autoflower by crossing a photoperiod Amnesia with Cannabis ruderalis, aiming to retain the sativa-driven vigor and effects in a fast-flowering, auto-blooming format.
