Auto Amnesia by Advanced Seeds
Amnesia × Cannabis ruderalis
Auto Amnesia by Advanced Seeds is an autoflowering cultivar designed to deliver the characteristic Haze-forward profile in a more rapid and manageable timeframe. This feminized auto combines a sativa-dominant Haze heritage with Cannabis ruderalis to initiate flowering based on age, not light cycles. It is bred for growers seeking cerebral, energetic effects and bright, citrusy aromas without the extended cultivation period of traditional sativas.
Appearance & Morphology
This strain typically grows into a medium-tall autoflower, often reaching 70-120 cm indoors. It features an open structure with elongated internodes and leaves that are long and scimitar-shaped. The buds tend to form in conical stacks, sometimes exhibiting foxtailing, a trait common in Haze genetics, particularly under intense light or fluctuating temperatures. Trichome coverage is dense, giving the buds a frosted appearance as they mature.
The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, simplifying the trimming process. Pistils start white and transition to orange or rust hues as the plant ripens. Its root system is noted as vigorous, benefiting from adequate container size early in its growth cycle.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
Auto Amnesia offers a sensory experience strongly reminiscent of its Haze ancestry. Its aroma is characterized by bright, citrusy notes, often described as lemon zest, mixed with sweet incense, fresh herbs, and sometimes hints of anise. The flavor profile mirrors this, presenting a combination of citrus, herbal, and earthy undertones.
Effects & Potency
This cultivar is known for producing cerebral and energetic effects, leading to a euphoric experience. It is often sought after for its uplifting qualities, making it a popular choice for daytime use. The THC content typically ranges from 16% to 24%, with CBD levels generally remaining below 1%.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile commonly includes Myrcene, Limonene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene. These contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor, featuring notes of citrus, lemon, and herbal scents. The cannabinoid content is characterized by high THC levels, usually between 16-24%, and very low CBD, often less than 1%.
Cultivation & Grow Traits
As an autoflower, Auto Amnesia is engineered for a faster growth cycle, typically finishing from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days indoors, even with extended light periods. It is generally considered approachable for growers, including those with less experience, due to its predictable autoflowering nature. The plant can reach moderate heights and may yield respectably for an autoflower, with some phenotypes potentially exceeding 500 g/m² indoors under optimal conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Amnesia is an autoflowering version of the renowned Amnesia strain, developed by Advanced Seeds. Its creation involved crossing a sativa-dominant Amnesia with Cannabis ruderalis to incorporate the autoflowering trait. This was followed by several generations of backcrossing and selection to stabilize its aroma, potency, and characteristic Haze-like effects while ensuring a faster, manageable growth cycle.
