Black Amnesia
Amnesia Haze × Black Domina (or similar Afghan-heavy indica)
Black Amnesia is a modern cannabis cultivar that combines the energetic qualities of Haze genetics with the aesthetic of darker, resinous indica strains. It is frequently described as a cross between Amnesia Haze and a dark, Afghan-heavy indica like Black Domina, resulting in a phenotype that can display deep purple to near-black hues.
Appearance
Black Amnesia can exhibit striking deep purple to almost black coloration in its calyxes, especially under cooler night temperatures. This dark pigment contrasts with bright orange pistils, creating a visually appealing flower. The buds are typically covered in a generous layer of resinous trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Black Amnesia is often characterized by a distinct citrus and herbal bouquet with a spicy finish. Consumers may detect notes of lemon, orange, and earthy or herbal undertones, sometimes accompanied by hints of coffee or sweetness.
Effects
This strain is noted for delivering brisk mental stimulation, often described as a clear-headed launch, which can enhance creativity. This is typically followed by a smooth taper and a cushioned body sensation, making it suitable for both daytime focus and evening relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Black Amnesia commonly tests between 18% and 26% THC, with CBD levels usually below 1%. Its terpene profile often features terpinolene, myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its citrus-herbal aroma and effects.
Origins & Lineage
While specific lineage details can vary between breeders, Black Amnesia is widely considered a hybrid cross of Amnesia Haze and a dark, Afghan-derived indica, most commonly Black Domina. This combination aims to merge the cerebral clarity of Haze with the visual appeal and plant structure of indica genetics.
Growing
Cultivators can expect Black Amnesia to exhibit medium-to-high vigor with above-average stretch, typical of its Haze heritage. While pure Haze lines can be challenging, the indica influence often results in more manageable plant growth indoors. Yields are generally solid with appropriate training, and the flowering time is often reduced compared to pure Haze varieties.
