The terpene profile is often led by terpinolene, and commonly includes myrcene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and ocimene. This chemical composition contributes to its signature aroma and effect profile.
Growing
Cultivating Amnesia Haze XL requires attention to its sativa-dominant growth habits, which include tall stature and rapid expansion.

Photoperiod versions typically flower in 9–11 weeks, while autoflowering varieties complete their life cycle in approximately 10–12 weeks from seed.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by European breeder Zambeza, Amnesia Haze XL is a refinement of classic Amnesia genetics, itself a cross tracing back to 1990s European breeders who combined old-school Haze with Afghani-influenced stock. The goal was to amplify vigor, yield, and the characteristic Haze brightness while improving production metrics. The XL designation signifies an emphasis on larger bud development and increased yield potential.
