Auto Blue Amnesia by Ministry Of Cannabis
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa × Blue Family × Amnesia Family
Auto Blue Amnesia is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Ministry of Cannabis, combining ruderalis genetics with indica and sativa traits for a balanced experience. This strain is recognized for its aromatic profile and relatively fast finishing time, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers.
Appearance and Morphology
Auto Blue Amnesia typically grows to a medium height, around 70-110 cm indoors, with a symmetrical structure featuring a prominent central cola and several side branches. Its leaves are of a medium width, falling between narrow sativa and broad indica forms. The buds are dense and covered in resin, with a moderate to high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in trimming. Some phenotypes may display subtle purple or blue hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle.
The plant's node spacing is generally moderate, promoting good airflow. Side branches respond well to training, helping to create an even canopy that maximizes light penetration to lower buds. Trichome density becomes noticeable in the later stages of flowering, contributing to a frosted appearance and enhancing the visual appeal of the buds.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Auto Blue Amnesia is characterized by a strong berry sweetness, complemented by bright citrus notes and underlying herbal haze undertones. As the plant matures, its scent intensifies, often requiring odor control measures. Upon closer inspection, notes of ripe blueberry, lemon zest, and a hint of vanilla-sugar can be detected.
On the palate, the flavor profile is layered, starting with sweet berry notes that transition into citrus and pine, finishing with a gentle peppery taste. The aftertaste often lingers with hints of candied blueberry and subtle floral tones. Vaporization can accentuate the fruity and incense-like qualities, while combustion may bring out more spice and earthy notes.
Effects
Auto Blue Amnesia offers a balanced effect profile, aiming to combine cerebral uplift with physical ease. Consumers often report a euphoric and calm sensation. The strain is noted for providing an engaging headspace, suggesting a sativa influence, while also promoting relaxation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This autoflowering hybrid is primarily a THC-forward strain, with typical THC content ranging from 15-20% under optimal growing conditions. CBD levels are generally reported as less than 1%. The terpene profile is significant, with dominant compounds including myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics. Minor cannabinoids like CBG may also be present in small amounts.
Growing
As an autoflowering variety, Auto Blue Amnesia transitions from seed to harvest independently of light cycles, typically completing its life cycle in 9-10 weeks (65-75 days) from sprout. It is considered accessible for first-time growers due to its ruderalis genetics, which contribute to resilience and a predictable growth pattern. The plant generally stays at a moderate height, making it suitable for indoor tents and compact spaces.
Ministry of Cannabis aims for reliable germination and stable performance across various conditions. The strain benefits from good cultivation practices, including adequate lighting and nutrient management. Its compact size and relatively fast finishing time allow for multiple harvests within a single growing season, especially for home growers.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Blue Amnesia is a tri-hybrid created by Ministry of Cannabis, incorporating ruderalis genetics for autoflowering traits, alongside indica and sativa influences. It is bred by combining elements from the 'Blue' family, known for its berry characteristics, and the 'Amnesia' lineage, recognized for its high-energy sativa qualities. This breeding approach aims to preserve the complex terpene profiles and desired effects of its photoperiod parents while offering the convenience of an autoflowering plant.
