Amnesia by Supers
Haze × Unknown
Amnesia by Super Strains is a predominantly sativa-leaning hybrid that emerged from Europe's late 1990s breeding scene. It quickly became a Dutch coffeeshop favorite, celebrated for its potent effects and distinctive Haze-style aroma. This strain is recognized for its high THC content and uplifting qualities.
Appearance
Amnesia produces elongated, tapering flower clusters with a classic sativa structure, often forming sleek, spear-shaped colas. The buds are typically lime to forest green, distinguished by abundant orange to deep tangerine pistils. Despite its sativa lineage, well-grown flowers can be surprisingly dense and compact, glistening with a heavy trichome coat.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Amnesia is characteristic of the Haze family, presenting bright, incense-like, and citrus-driven notes, often with hints of lemon zest, cedar, and floral undertones. Upon breaking apart the bud, scents of cardamom, sweet herbs, and a touch of peppery spice emerge. The flavor profile on the palate mirrors this, with prominent lemon peel, sweet herbs, and a woody-spice finish. Undertones of cardamom, lemongrass, and green tea are often detected, with some phenotypes exhibiting faint tropical notes reminiscent of mango or guava.
Effects
Amnesia is known for delivering a potent, uplifting high that is both cerebral and euphoric. Users often report feeling more talkative and experiencing a boost in creativity. This strain provides a bright, energizing experience that can sharpen focus and elevate mood.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Amnesia consistently tests in the high-THC, low-CBD category, with THC levels typically ranging from 20-24%. The terpene profile is often led by terpinolene, contributing a fresh, piney-citrus character. Limonene adds candied lemon and grapefruit notes, while myrcene can provide subtle earthiness. Secondary terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and ocimene introduce spice and green, tropical accents.
Origins & Lineage
Created by Super Strains (formerly Hy-Pro Seeds), Amnesia is a product of the Dutch breeding renaissance of the late 1990s and early 2000s. It is widely considered a predominantly sativa hybrid with deep roots in the Haze family. While the exact genetic recipe remains proprietary, it is believed to incorporate stabilizing influences from classic genetics to enhance its structure and flowering characteristics. It is distinct from its close relative, Amnesia Haze.
Growing
Amnesia is favored by growers for its relatively strong yields and resin production, especially for a sativa-dominant strain. It typically has a flowering period of 9-10 weeks. While its structure leans sativa, optimized environmental control can result in deceptively dense flowers. Care must be taken to manage heat and light intensity to prevent excessive foxtailing.
