Auto Purple Amnesia by Short Stuff Seedbank
Ruderalis × Amnesia × Purple Genetics
Auto Purple Amnesia is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Short Stuff Seedbank, known for its rapid, compact growth. This strain combines the visual appeal of purple genetics with the cerebral qualities of the Amnesia family, enhanced by ruderalis for automatic flowering. It offers a balanced experience, suitable for both creative endeavors and relaxation.
Appearance
This strain typically remains compact, reaching heights between 60-100 cm, making it suitable for smaller cultivation spaces. It develops a main cola with several side branches, and its moderate internodal spacing allows for good light penetration. Under cooler night temperatures, particularly in the final weeks of flowering, the bracts and sugar leaves can display vivid purple, plum, and eggplant hues, contrasting with bright orange pistils. The buds are generally medium-density and covered in a considerable amount of resin.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Purple Amnesia is characterized by a dual profile, featuring bright citrus top notes, reminiscent of lemon zest and grapefruit, alongside earthy and spicy undertones. The flavor follows suit, often starting with citrus and herbal notes, followed by an earthy palate that can hint at sandalwood. A subtle floral and berry nuance, like blackcurrant skin, may also be present, especially after a proper cure. These profiles are enhanced through vaporization, while combustion tends to reveal more of the earthy and spicy elements.
Effects
Auto Purple Amnesia is described as providing a balanced experience, blending uplifting and soothing qualities. Users often report a clear, creative headspace and buoyant mood elevation, making it suitable for daytime activities. It is also associated with a physically calming finish, contributing to a sense of relaxation. This combination makes it versatile for both fostering creativity and winding down.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles vary by phenotype, the Amnesia influence suggests a prominence of limonene and terpinolene, contributing to citrus notes. The purple genetics may introduce myrcene and caryophyllene, adding earthy and spicy characteristics. The strain generally exhibits medium to medium-high THC levels, typically ranging from 12-18%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Purple Amnesia transitions from seedling to harvest without requiring changes in light cycles, typically completing its life cycle in under 11 weeks. It is considered relatively forgiving to cultivate and performs well in confined spaces, maintaining a compact structure. The plant branches well and produces dense, resinous buds. Achieving vibrant purple coloration is often enhanced by cooler night temperatures during the flowering stage.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Purple Amnesia was developed by Short Stuff Seedbank, a breeder focused on creating compact, fast-finishing autoflowering varieties. Its lineage combines ruderalis genetics for the autoflowering trait with genetics from the Amnesia family, known for its cerebral effects, and purple-leaning strains, which contribute to its coloration and denser bud structure. The resulting hybrid aims to provide the characteristic traits of Amnesia in a more manageable and quicker-growing autoflowering plant.
