Amnesia Haze Auto by Ganja Farmer Seeds
Amnesia Haze × Ruderalis
Amnesia Haze Auto by Ganja Farmer Seeds is an autoflowering cultivar that combines the celebrated characteristics of the original Amnesia Haze with the convenience of ruderalis genetics. This strain offers a quicker harvest cycle while aiming to preserve the beloved cerebral effects and aromatic profile of its photoperiod predecessor.
Appearance
This autoflowering strain typically reaches a medium height, often between 60-110 cm indoors. It exhibits characteristics of its sativa heritage with elongated internodes and narrow leaflets. The buds are generally spear-shaped and may develop a fox-tailed structure, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies manicuring. Mature plants often display a frosty appearance due to dense trichome coverage on bracts and sugar leaves, with pistils transitioning from ivory to orange or rust hues.
The plant's structure can be managed with low-stress training to encourage lateral branching and multiple colas. While predominantly green, some phenotypes might show faint purpling on sugar leaves under cooler late-flowering temperatures, indicative of anthocyanin expression.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma is predominantly citrus-forward, often described as having notes of lemon peel, complemented by classic Haze incense qualities. Upon closer inspection or when broken, the bouquet can expand to include hints of sweet herbal tea and floral varnish, with a subtle tropical undertone. This complex profile is characteristic of terpinolene-rich sativas.
Flavor notes frequently reported include lemon zest, cedar, and a peppery spice. Some expressions may also present a clean eucalyptus lift. The overall sensory experience is bright and invigorating, with a balance of sweet and sour sensations.
Effects
Amnesia Haze Auto is known for delivering soaring, cerebral effects, reminiscent of its Haze ancestry. It is associated with a feel-good, chatty energy, making it a popular choice for social settings or creative endeavors.
Users often report experiencing a bright and effusive mental stimulation. The strain is generally considered to provide a balanced experience, offering mental uplift without being overly sedating.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests around 21% THC, placing it in a competitive range for autoflowering varieties. CBD levels are generally reported as less than 1%.
Key terpenes identified include Limonene, known for its citrus notes; Pinene and Eucalyptol, contributing to fresh, minty, or pine-like aromas; and Terpinolene, which adds to the complex incense and floral bouquet characteristic of Haze genetics.
Origins and Lineage
Amnesia Haze Auto is an autoflowering descendant of the original Amnesia Haze, a strain that gained fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s Amsterdam coffee shop scene. The original is believed to have roots in Southeast Asian and Caribbean Haze landraces.
Ganja Farmer Seeds developed this autoflowering version by crossing a sativa-leaning Amnesia Haze with robust ruderalis genetics. This breeding aims to combine the classic Haze traits with the autoflowering characteristic, allowing plants to flower based on age rather than light cycles, thus providing quicker harvests and greater cultivation flexibility.
Growing Information
Amnesia Haze Auto is considered a moderately easy strain to grow, especially for those seeking the Haze experience in a more manageable autoflowering format. It thrives in environments where consistent light cycles can be maintained, such as indoor setups with 18-20 hours of light per day. Outdoor growers at higher latitudes can also benefit from its autoflowering nature, allowing for harvests independent of seasonal day length changes.
The flowering period from seed typically ranges from 10-12 weeks. Yields can be respectable for an autoflower, with some reports indicating ranges of 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal indoor conditions. Its structure lends itself well to various training techniques to maximize light exposure and bud development.
