Amnesia Haze Strain
Not many cannabis strains have left a mark on modern hybridization quite like Amnesia Haze did. Before the current crop of dessert hybrids and complex terpene profiles, this famous sativa established itself as one of the most popular genetics for Amsterdam coffeeshops. Famous for its citrusy terpene profile, signature Haze character and stimulating high, it has been one of the benchmarking strains for many sativa hybrids of today.
Barney’s Farm managed to keep what has made Amnesia Haze legendary while providing a more refined version of this celebrated cannabis genetic line. Based on an elaborate combination of landraces and regional genetics coming from Jamaica, Thailand, Cambodia and South Asia, this 80% sativa hybrid combines great performance, prolific resin production and classic Haze terpene profile. It provides a lively and balanced high thanks to its THC content of 24%.
At SeedMasters.com, we always admire those cannabis varieties that have changed the industry instead of following its trends. Amnesia Haze is one of those unique cannabis genetics which legacy is felt long after the initial wave of popularity.
Amnesia Haze Genetics
The key element of this incredible strain is an extremely diverse selection of landrace and regional genetics taken from some of the best cannabis-growing countries in the world.
Jamaican genetics provide much of the stimulating sativa properties and tropical traits. Thai landrace heritage brings the energizing and cerebral character and fast-growing qualities typical for a classic Haze variety, while Cambodian and South Asian genetics bring extra aromatic notes and develop unique flowering process.
Unlike other Haze hybrids which often have a single dominant parent, Amnesia Haze is a result of many years of selection and breeding in order to preserve the genuine Haze experience. The final product has captured the lively structure, unique terpene profile and stimulating effect that made this strain one of the most unique cannabis strains.
Its predominantly 80% sativa composition is clearly seen throughout all the stages of the growing process. The plants demonstrate vertical growth and elongated flowers, produce plenty of resins while preserving the recognizable citrus and spicy aromas characteristic to classic Haze genetics.
Appearance
Amnesia Haze grows in a way we would expect from a classic sativa dominant cultivar. During the vegetative phase, the plant demonstrates strong vertical growth and good branching, forming an open canopy which facilitates good light penetration during the flowering stage.
During the flowering period, elongated flowers start to form on all branches before getting bigger and turning into sizable resin-covered colas. Unlike most compact indica types, the buds of Amnesia Haze retain the elongated shape characteristic to Haze genetics but still produce good density at the time of harvest.
The mature buds can easily be recognized by their appearance. Lime-green calyces create the background for bright orange pistils running through the buds, forming a contrasting picture to a growing layer of trichomes. The plants produce a lot of resin, giving the buds the frosted look which is evidence of not only great cannabinoid content but also unique terpene profile.
The finished buds perfectly reflect the characteristics of classic Haze—bright green color, resin-rich and nicely structured—which makes them immediately recognizable to any fan of authentic Amsterdam cannabis genetics.
Our Take
At SeedMasters.com, Amnesia Haze is one of those strains that we would recommend to try at least once. Its influence on modern breeding cannot be overstated, and even now its combination of citrusy terpenes, stimulating sativa properties and unique Haze aroma remains very recognizable. Barney’s Farm did an excellent job of preserving its unique character, making this strain an excellent choice for collectors.
