Amsterdam Amnesia by Dutch Passion
Amnesia Haze × Amnesia
Amsterdam Amnesia is Dutch Passion's carefully developed version of the classic Amnesia/Amnesia Haze, designed to provide the energetic qualities of Haze with improved consistency. Classified within their 'Classics' family, this feminised variety is optimized for indoor growing environments.
Appearance
Amsterdam Amnesia typically presents as a tall, sativa-dominant plant with significant vertical growth and long internodal spacing. Its leaves are slender with narrow serrations. During flowering, it develops elongated, spear-like colas that are moderately dense for a Haze hybrid, generously coated in trichomes. Pistils mature to a vivid orange against lime to olive-green calyxes. Some plants may exhibit soft golden hues under cooler temperatures late in bloom.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a prominent lemon-Haze signature, featuring bright citrus notes like lemon zest and lime peel, complemented by sweet floral undertones and classic Haze incense with hints of dry wood. During flowering, herbal and lemongrass notes can emerge, sometimes developing an effervescent, soda-pop lemon nuance. Cured buds release a fuller profile including peppery spice and subtle anise.
Flavors echo the aroma, with distinct lemon and citrus notes often accompanied by sweet, herbal, and floral undertones. Some expressions may also present earthy or cheesy characteristics.
Effects
This cultivar is known for delivering potent cerebral effects, often described as uplifting and energizing. It is associated with promoting focus and creative drive, aligning with its sativa-dominant heritage. Users may experience a rapid onset of psycho-activity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Amsterdam Amnesia is a THC-dominant strain, typically registering high levels of THC, with verified potency up to 26% in related crosses. CBD content is generally low, usually under 1%. Secondary cannabinoids like CBG may be present in modest amounts. Key terpenes contributing to its profile include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Terpinolene, influencing its aroma, flavor, and effects.
Growing
Optimized for indoor cultivation, Amsterdam Amnesia has a relatively shortened flowering time of 9-10 weeks, which is notable for a sativa-leaning strain. It exhibits vigorous growth and can stretch significantly after the light cycle change. Due to the development of resin-heavy colas, support structures like stakes or trellises are recommended in late flower. Its open structure promotes good airflow, helping to manage humidity.
Origins & Lineage
Amsterdam Amnesia is Dutch Passion's refined iteration of the legendary Amnesia/Amnesia Haze family, aiming to enhance classic Haze energy with modern reliability and consistency. While its precise parentage is proprietary, it is firmly rooted in the Amnesia/Amnesia Haze gene pool, which historically combines old Haze genetics with regional sativa influences and a touch of indica to manage flowering time. This cultivar represents a meticulous translation of elite Amnesia traits into a stable seed line.
