Amnesia Haze by Aficionado Seed Bank
Haze × Afghani × Hawaiian × Thai × Lao × Cambodian × Jamaican
Amnesia Haze, a notable sativa cultivar by Aficionado Seed Bank, builds upon the legacy of classic Haze genetics. This modern iteration refines vigor and stability while preserving the signature uplifting and cerebral experience.
Appearance
Amnesia Haze typically exhibits narrow-leaf morphology characteristic of sativa-dominant plants. It produces elongated, spear-shaped colas with a medium-high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant pistils. The buds are often lime to light olive green, sometimes with golden undertones, and are covered in a heavy layer of trichomes, giving them a crystalline appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by bright citrus notes, including lemon, orange, and lime, layered with a Haze-like incense. Underlying this are earthy, woody, and herbal undertones. Upon combustion or vaporization, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with prominent lemon zest, sweet tropical notes, and a peppery, woody finish.
Effects
Consumers frequently report a high-clarity, cerebral euphoria and a talkative uplift. The effects are often described as energizing and mood-boosting, leading to feelings of giddiness and sociability. This strain is known for its rapid onset and clear-headed psychoactive experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Amnesia Haze is characterized by high THC levels, typically ranging from 18-26%, with CBD content below 1%. Common terpenes include terpinolene and limonene, contributing to its bright aroma and cerebral effects. Caryophyllene and humulene are also present, adding woody and peppery notes.
Origins & Lineage
Amnesia Haze is a descendant of the original Haze lines developed in the 1970s, which were primarily sativa landraces from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. This specific cultivar by Aficionado Seed Bank integrates a modest Afghani influence to improve stability and resin production, while maintaining the classic sativa character. It gained significant popularity in Amsterdam's coffeeshop culture in the early 2000s.
Growing
This sativa-dominant plant is known for its tall, branchy structure and can exhibit significant stretching during flowering. Growers may need to employ training techniques to manage its vertical growth and ensure optimal light distribution. The flowering period is moderate for a Haze variety, and it aims for improved stability and resin production compared to older Haze cultivars.
