Autoflowering Amnesia Haze is a plant with an incredibly diverse lineage, and it's a must-try for all Sativa fans. Contrary to its name, it delivers a soaring yet clearheaded high, providing users with a burst of energy that's perfect for wake-and-bake.

A staple in Amsterdam coffee shops, the strain has won several awards over the years. It's a two-time 1st place High Times Cannabis Cup winner, having won in the overall category in 2004 and Best Sativa in 2012. It has a number of awesome and inimitable traits that have made it much-loved by smokers and growers alike.

By fusing a Ruderalis strain with the original Amnesia Haze, an autoflowering version of this classic strain was born. Choosing these seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. comes with a number of benefits. The flowering time has been significantly shortened, and the plant itself is significantly smaller and does not need much room to grow. It thrives in pretty much any setting, even in not so friendly environments.

Not only is it a pleasure to grow, but it also has a fantastic aroma and flavor profile. Its refreshing burst of citrus tang is sure to leave stoners wanting more – its palate-tickling and refreshing taste is a great start to the day. This kicker is way, way better than any cup of coffee.

Growing Amnesia Haze from Autoflower Seeds

The original version of Amnesia Haze seeds is quite a difficult strain to grow, but many of the potential pitfalls of the plant have been eradicated in this autoflowering variety. It's a bushy, dark green plant that produces bug buds that are covered with rich trichomes. Each one resembles a gold nugget – they're sticky, hard and compact, and it's likely you'll need a grinder to break them apart.

The plant can go from seedling to harvest-ready in just 10 to 11 weeks, but its speedy growth does not compromise its yield at all. Indoors, it can produce as much as 1.31 to 1.47 ounces per square foot using the SOG method.

In the great outdoors, each plant can yield up to 11 ounces. This may not be as much as some other varieties, but growers can compensate through multiple harvests. As soon as the last frost disappears, cultivators can begin sowing, and they can continue to do so for a couple of months. The final harvest must not go beyond the end of October, and the plants will need to be placed somewhere with direct access to the sun for them to fully prosper.

Fragrance and Flavor

The autoflowering version of Amnesia Haze has a pretty much identical scent to its older sister. The moment it's lit up, it releases a soothing citrus-infused scent that leaves a sweet, earthy hint as the smoke fades.

The flavor does not disappoint either. The distinct lemony taste is sure to leave smokers grinning from ear to ear, and as the citrus tang diminishes, there's a gorgeously sweet aftertaste.

Effects

With a smooth and steady high, Amnesia Haze is one of the best daytime strains out there. It promotes mental clarity with a relaxing twist. Usually smoked for wake-and-bake, it can turn a lazy, uneventful day into an adventure.

Once the weed unleashes its magic, an energetic, uplifting high hits pretty much straight away. After a few more minutes, complete euphoria will set in, leaving you feeling blissed out and happy and – more than likely – in fits of giggles.

Just a puff or two is normally enough to sustain a positive mental state for up to two or three hours. The effects actually run quite short compared to other Sativa strains, but this is still the go-to weed for many stalwart smokers, and their long-standing support speaks of the strain's impeccable quality.

As with pretty much all strains, this champion has a downside. It can cause cottonmouth and dry, bloodshot eyes, which can normally be alleviated by drinking enough fluids. Having an over-the-counter eye lubricant handy is also a good tip for soothing the latter.

Less experienced smokers may experience more severe side effects such as dizziness, paranoia or anxiety. Taking it slowly, with breaks between hits, is very important, and waiting for the high to take effect before going in for another dose usually does the trick. However, if the symptoms persist, then THC sensitivity is likely the problem, in which case a switch to a milder strain is a must.

Medical

All-organic with minimal side effects, Amnesia Haze is a said to have a number of benefits for medicinal marijuana users. Sought after by healthcare professionals and patients alike, it's already a big name in dispensaries. This holy grail of cannabis strains is popular thanks to its high THC and decent CBD content.

It's said to be useful in soothing pain thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It's been used by patients with arthritis, migraines, PMS and muscle spasms.

It brings with it a strong ‘munchies' effect that boosts the appetite, and this may prove useful to people with eating disorders. It may also temporarily halt nausea and vomiting, which could be of great benefit to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

It's also been used to treat the symptoms of a number of psychological issues. Amnesia Haze's happy yet calming kick can bring hours of bliss, creating a laid-back vibe that also relaxes muscle tensions.
