Auto Amnesia by Mr Hide Seeds
Amnesia × Ruderalis
Auto Amnesia by Mr. Hide Seeds is an autoflowering hybrid that captures the essence of the classic Amnesia strain. It blends sativa, indica, and ruderalis genetics to offer a cerebral experience without the need for photoperiod light cycles. This strain is appreciated for its manageable growth and dependable harvests.
Appearance and Morphology
Auto Amnesia plants typically exhibit a sativa-dominant structure, often growing to heights between 70-110 cm indoors and potentially over 120 cm outdoors. They commonly develop a conical shape with a prominent central cola and several side branches. The leaves are generally slim and serrated, characteristic of sativa varieties, though ruderalis influence may slightly shorten petioles. Flowers tend to form elongated, foxtail-prone colas, particularly under strong lighting, and are adorned with dense trichomes by the later stages of flowering.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Auto Amnesia is often characterized by bright citrus notes, including lemon and sweet orange, complemented by herbal and pine undertones. Upon grinding, a fresh, zesty scent is prominent, with hints of floral and peppery spice. Upon inhalation, the flavor typically mirrors the aroma, presenting a clear lemon-lime brightness with herbal tea and light pine notes. Some phenotypes may also exhibit faint grapefruit bitterness, contributing to a complex palate.
Effects and Conditions
Consumers often describe Auto Amnesia as providing a clear-headed, uplifting, and mentally engaging experience. It is generally considered a daytime strain, promoting mood elevation and cerebral stimulation without significant sedation. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking a functional and energizing effect. The strain is also noted for potentially helping to alleviate stress.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Amnesia-type strains frequently exhibit terpene profiles rich in terpinolene and limonene, often supported by myrcene and beta-caryophyllene. Other terpenes like pinene and ocimene may also be present. Cannabinoid content typically ranges from 15-25% THC, with CBD levels usually below 1%. This chemovar profile contributes to the strain's characteristic cerebral and uplifting effects.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflower, Auto Amnesia flowers based on age rather than light schedule, typically completing its cycle from sprout in approximately 70 to 85 days. It is considered manageable for both novice and experienced growers. The plant's structure is relatively compact, making it suitable for indoor cultivation, and it can also perform well outdoors in temperate climates, allowing for multiple harvests. Yields are generally considered dependable.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Amnesia by Mr. Hide Seeds is an autoflowering variation of the renowned Amnesia lineage, which originated in Dutch breeding circles. It is created by crossing a photoperiod Amnesia parent, known for its sativa expression, with an autoflowering donor. This results in a hybrid composition of ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics, designed to retain the classic Amnesia traits in a faster, more convenient autoflowering format.
