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.
