Amnesia Haze Automatic by Royal Queen Seeds
Haze × Ruderalis
Amnesia Haze Automatic from Royal Queen Seeds is an autoflowering hybrid reinterpreting the classic Haze profile. It aims to provide the signature Haze experience with a significantly reduced time to harvest, making it more accessible for growers. This cultivar blends convenience with the recognizable sensory qualities of its photoperiod predecessor.
Appearance
Amnesia Haze Automatic typically develops into a compact plant, often reaching heights between 50-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. It features a primary cola with several side branches, displaying moderately spaced internodes that allow for good airflow. The leaves are generally narrow to mid-width, with a green hue. Buds are conical, covered in trichomes, with pistils that mature from cream to orange-copper. Resin production is notable for an autoflower, often frosting the sugar leaves.
Buds are denser and more compact than traditional Haze varieties, though not as hard as indica-dominant types. After curing, they typically retain moisture in a range that supports terpene stability and smooth smoking. Trichome heads are often cloudy at maturity, suggesting an uplifting effect profile. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast of bright pistils and a crystalline trichome coating.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of cured Amnesia Haze Automatic is characterized by bright lemon zest, sweet citrus, and pine resin notes. Secondary aromatic layers include floral and herbal undertones, sometimes with a peppery hint. This profile is often described as having a clean, almost sparkling quality, reminiscent of incense and lemon cleaner. The bouquet becomes more pronounced after a curing period.
Upon grinding, sharper high notes emerge, potentially revealing hints of sweet lime and tropical fruit like mango. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a dominant citrus and lemon character, often accompanied by floral and herbal nuances. The overall taste is consistent with a Haze-dominant terpene profile.
Effects
Amnesia Haze Automatic is reported to provide an energetic and cerebral lift, consistent with its Haze heritage. The effects are often described as uplifting and stimulating, promoting a sense of alertness and mental clarity. While primarily known for its energizing qualities, some users also experience a calming sensation, suggesting a balanced influence.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This cultivar typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 16% to 20%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is influenced by its Haze genetics, with notable presence of limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, humulene, terpinolene, and ocimene. This combination contributes to its characteristic citrus, pine, and incense aroma and flavor.
Growing
Amnesia Haze Automatic is an autoflowering strain designed for a faster harvest cycle, typically finishing in 10–12 weeks from seed. It is suitable for growers seeking a Haze experience without the long flowering times of photoperiod varieties. Indoor yields are estimated around 350–400 g/m² under optimal conditions, with outdoor yields of 80–150 g per plant being common. It is generally considered user-friendly for both novice and experienced cultivators.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by Royal Queen Seeds, Amnesia Haze Automatic is an autoflowering version of the classic Amnesia Haze. It was created by integrating Cannabis ruderalis genetics into a Haze-dominant lineage, which includes influences from Southeast Asian and Jamaican sativas, potentially balanced by Afghani indica traits. This hybridization results in a plant that flowers automatically, independent of light cycles, while retaining key Haze characteristics.
