Amphetamine by Cream Of The Crop Seeds
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Amphetamine is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Cream of the Crop Seeds, combining ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. It is bred for rapid growth and an energetic, uplifting experience, distinguishing itself from more sedating strains.
Appearance
Amphetamine plants typically reach heights between 28 and 47 inches, often developing a prominent main cola with several satellite branches, especially when subjected to low-stress training. The buds are generally dense with a slightly elongated shape, featuring stacked calyxes and abundant trichome coverage that gives them a frosted appearance by mid-flowering.
The ratio of bracts to leaves is favorable, contributing to a cleaner finished product and reduced trimming time. Sugar leaves are typically medium in width, reflecting the balanced indica and sativa influences in its genetic makeup.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Amphetamine is characterized by a combination of citrus and diesel notes, often accompanied by herbal and peppery undertones. Upon inhalation, users may experience a bright, zesty flavor profile with notes of citrus peel and sweet diesel, followed by herbal and spicy elements on the mid-palate. The exhale can leave a lingering taste of lime and fuel with a hint of mint or eucalyptus.
Proper curing is essential for enhancing the smoothness and complexity of the flavor, allowing the citrus top notes to meld with the deeper spice and fuel base. Vaporization at different temperatures can highlight various aspects of its terpene profile, from floral and citrus notes at lower settings to spice and fuel at higher temperatures.
Effects
Amphetamine is designed to provide a brisk, energetic, and uplifting experience, aligning with its name by promoting vigor and pace rather than heavy sedation. It is often favored for daytime use due to its ability to foster a productive headspace and a clear, invigorating sensation.
Consumers may find this strain beneficial for enhancing focus and creative drive. The effects are generally described as cerebral and stimulating, offering a lively but controllable experience suitable for various activities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 16% to 22%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is often rich and balanced, featuring prominent notes of limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and ocimene, which contribute to its characteristic citrus, diesel, and spicy aromas. Myrcene and humulene are also present, adding herbal and resinous depth.
The aromatic compounds collectively contribute to its complex scent and flavor. The specific percentages of cannabinoids and terpenes can vary based on cultivation conditions and individual phenotypes, but the overall profile is geared towards a bright, modern sensory experience.
Growing
As an autoflowering hybrid, Amphetamine simplifies cultivation by flowering automatically, independent of light cycles. It is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments and is favored by growers seeking a quick harvest, often completing its life cycle in under three months from seed. The plants generally respond well to consistent watering, gentle training techniques, and steady nutrient application.
The strain typically exhibits good resin production and a favorable bract-to-leaf ratio, contributing to its commercial appeal. Its structure, a blend of sativa-leaning growth with indica-influenced bud density, makes it manageable and productive under optimized conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Amphetamine was developed by Cream of the Crop Seeds, a European breeder recognized for creating vigorous, terpene-forward autoflowering hybrids. Its lineage is a tripartite cross of ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics, carefully balanced to combine the rapid lifecycle of ruderalis with the structural and psychoactive qualities of indica and sativa varieties.
The breeding aims to accelerate the growth cycle while preserving potency and a desirable terpene profile, resulting in a strain that offers speed and flavor. Its name is intended to evoke a sense of briskness and mental invigoration, positioning it as a daytime-friendly option.
