Amnesia by World Of Seeds Bank
Haze × Southeast Asian Sativas × Afghani × Skunk
Amnesia, a sativa-dominant strain from World of Seeds Bank, emerged from European breeding efforts in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It is celebrated for its energetic, euphoric, and cerebral effects, often accompanied by a bright citrus aroma.
Appearance
Amnesia plants typically grow tall with an open structure, long internodes, and narrow, serrated leaves characteristic of sativas. They exhibit strong apical dominance and vigorous growth, requiring training for indoor cultivation. The buds are generally conical to spear-shaped with a medium-airy density, often showing modest foxtailing under intense light. Resin coverage is typically heavy, giving the flowers a frosty appearance, and coloration ranges from lime to medium green, occasionally showing faint lavender hues in cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of well-cured Amnesia is a complex citrus-haze bouquet, featuring bright notes of lemon zest and sweet orange, layered with a classic incense-like character that is woody and herbal, with hints of cedar and basil. Some phenotypes may also present subtle floral notes. Upon grinding, the fragrance intensifies, revealing creamy, pastry-like facets alongside a peppery-woody undertone. Flavors often echo the aroma, with prominent citrus and lemon notes, complemented by hints of honey, cream, and floral or herbal undertones.
Effects
Amnesia is primarily known for its uplifting and cerebral effects, delivering an energetic and euphoric experience that can also be talkative and giggly. While predominantly stimulating, some users report a degree of sedation, particularly with higher doses. It is often described as a daytime strain that can spark creativity without causing significant bodily heaviness.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests between 18-26% THC and has very low CBD content (<1%). The terpene profile is often highlighted by terpinolene and limonene, contributing to its bright, uplifting aroma and effects. Other commonly identified terpenes include myrcene, ocimene, and caryophyllene, which add complexity to the aroma and influence the overall experience.
Growing
Amnesia is considered a moderately challenging strain to grow, requiring attention to its vigorous sativa growth habits. It benefits from training techniques to manage its height and encourage bushier growth for indoor cultivation. The flowering time is typically around 10-12 weeks, which is relatively moderate for a Haze-dominant strain. Yields are generally good, especially when cultivated with optimal light and environmental controls, and its resin production is a notable characteristic.
Origins & Lineage
Amnesia originated in Europe during the late 1990s and early 2000s, developed by Dutch and Spanish breeders refining Haze genetics for indoor growing. Its lineage is Haze-dominant, with influences from Southeast Asian sativas like Thai and Cambodian, possibly tempered by Afghani or Skunk heritage to improve structure and shorten flowering times. World of Seeds Bank popularized a consistent, mostly sativa version of this strain.
