Amnesia Fast by Cannapot
Amnesia Haze × Skunk × Northern Lights
Amnesia Fast by Cannapot is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred for a quicker harvest compared to traditional Amnesia Haze varieties. It retains the beloved cerebral and energetic qualities while offering a significantly reduced flowering period for grower convenience.
Appearance
This strain typically exhibits a sativa morphology with narrow leaflets and extended internodal spacing, showing a tendency for vigorous vertical growth. The buds often develop into elongated, spire-like structures with good trichome coverage, appearing frosted over lime-green calyxes interspersed with orange to amber pistils. The fast-flowering trait can lead to earlier calyx swelling, giving the buds a mature appearance sooner in the cycle.
Aroma & Flavor
Amnesia Fast presents a bright aromatic profile with prominent lemon zest, sweet herbs, and an incense-like haze character. Initial scents may also include pine and pepper notes. Upon consumption, the flavor follows suit with lemon oil and sweet herbs, complemented by a subtly bitter pine resin finish. Some users detect hints of vanilla, sandalwood, or honey, particularly with proper drying and curing.
Effects
The effects of Amnesia Fast are predominantly cerebral and energetic, characteristic of its sativa heritage. It is known to provide an uplifting mental buzz. The strain is often associated with a fast-acting onset, delivering a stimulating experience. Due to its low CBD content, the overall impact is focused on the psychoactive qualities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Amnesia Fast typically tests between 18-24% THC, with CBD levels generally below 1%. The terpene profile is often described as including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. These compounds are believed to influence the strain's energetic and cerebral effects.
Growing
Developed as a fast-flowering photoperiod strain, Amnesia Fast significantly shortens the bloom cycle compared to classic Amnesia varieties, often finishing in 6-7.5 weeks indoors. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in mid- to late-September in many temperate regions. Yields are considered competitive for a sativa-leaning plant, often ranging from 450-600 g/m² indoors under optimal conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Amnesia Fast by Cannapot is a swift-flowering iteration of the well-known Amnesia family. Its lineage is rooted in classic Haze genetics, often combined with foundational strains like Skunk and Northern Lights. This breeding effort aimed to preserve the signature citrus-haze aroma and energetic effects while reducing the lengthy flowering time traditionally associated with Amnesia strains.
