Amnesia Haze by 710 Genetics
Haze × Afghani × Southeast Asian × Caribbean
Amnesia Haze, bred by 710 Genetics, is a predominantly sativa cultivar celebrated for its uplifting cerebral effects and distinct citrus-forward aroma. This strain typically exhibits high THC content with minimal CBD, positioning it as a potent option for daytime use. Its complex profile and energizing qualities have cemented its reputation among cannabis enthusiasts.
Appearance
Amnesia Haze plants are known to grow tall with significant stretching, characteristic of their sativa heritage. They develop elongated, tapered colas with dense calyxes and a light lime-green coloration, adorned with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance and contributing to their sticky texture.
The plant's morphology favors training techniques such as trellising, low-stress training, and topping to manage its height and encourage multiple bud sites. Leaves are generally narrower and more delicate than those of indica-dominant varieties.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Amnesia Haze is characterized by bright notes of fresh citrus peels and sweet fruit, often compared to lemon candy and tropical fruits. Underlying these fruity scents is a classic Haze incense aroma, with hints of pine and lilac. Subtle spicy and peppery undertones emerge, particularly when the flower is ground.
Upon inhalation, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with bright, candied citrus and lemon-lime notes, evolving into sweet tropical fruit. The mid-palate may reveal herbal and floral tones, with a gentle bitterness akin to grapefruit pith. The exhale often carries the incense spice and a lingering peppery sensation with a faint earthy sweetness.
Effects
Amnesia Haze delivers a fast-acting, energizing cerebral experience. Users often report a bright, uplifting headspace that promotes creativity and clarity. It is known to induce euphoric, talkative, and giggly moods, making it a popular choice for social settings.
While generally well-received, sensitive individuals may experience anxiety or paranoia. Common reported downsides include dry mouth and occasional dizziness.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests high in THC, ranging from 20-26%, with negligible amounts of CBD (<1%). The terpene profile is often dominated by terpinolene, limonene, and caryophyllene. This combination is frequently associated with the strain's characteristic euphoric and mood-lifting effects.
Growing
Cultivating Amnesia Haze requires attention due to its significant sativa stretch and longer flowering period, typically 10-12 weeks. It benefits from training techniques to manage height and ensure even light distribution. Indoor yields can range from 500–650 g per square meter, while outdoor plants in suitable climates can exceed 600 g per plant.
The plant thrives in warmer climates and requires careful canopy management and light intensity control to prevent issues like light burn. Growers prize it for its generous yields and high resin output when cultivated properly.
Origins & Lineage
Amnesia Haze originates from the legendary Haze lineage, which began in California in the 1970s before gaining prominence in the Dutch cannabis scene. It is believed to be a refined Haze selection, potentially incorporating landrace genetics from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, with some Afghani indica influence to stabilize its structure.
The 710 Genetics version emphasizes a predominantly sativa expression, estimated at 70-80% sativa, preserving the classic Haze uplift while incorporating modern breeding for vigor and resin production.
