Amnesia

Urban legends surrounding the history of the original Amnesia strain inspire endless imagination and speculation. But even if we focus on the hard facts, this famous Californian strain has gone far beyond local fame and deservedly enjoys worldwide recognition. Let's take a closer look at this incredible hybrid, as it opens up extraordinary possibilities for growers of all skill levels.

Genetics and Characteristics

The photoperiod and feminized Amnesia (Cinderella 99 x Jack Herer x Skunk #1, or Enemy of the State) is a monumental old-school strain that remains relevant to the present day. This hybrid has a sturdy structure with strong lateral branching and an abundance of lime-colored flowers adorned with delicate cream-colored stigmas and abundant sticky trichomes. Its sativa dominance (80/20) doesn't extend flowering time significantly, and fully mature buds can be harvested in about 9-10 weeks. Outdoors, with healthy, well-rooted seedlings planted on time, harvest comes in mid- to late-October.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Dried and cured buds contain up to 24% THC and have a very low percentage of CBD (no more than 1%). For beginners, it's advisable to start with moderate dosages. The effects of Amnesia are unique and super intense. You will experience a surge of alertness, energy, sociability, and incredible relaxation. Some users who exceed the acceptable dosage threshold find that the powerful effects of Amnesia live up to the strain’s name, which is characterized by temporary memory blackouts. Due to its pronounced cerebral effects, memory is temporarily slowed to the point that you lose track of what's going on. The effects of Amnesia are particularly useful for treating pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

Flavor and Aroma

The overall flavor profile of Amnesia is defined by vivid lemon and lime notes, earthiness, and spiciness. The smoke is rich and smooth, with a bold skunk and tangy acidity combined with a sweet, fuel-like undertone and spicy notes that are particularly noticeable on exhalation.

Cultivation

Amnesia is easy to grow and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments. With its genetic stability, this strain is highly resistant to pests and diseases. The selected seeds of Amnesia from the KADAMA seed shop have unparalleled viability and grow quickly and steadily to a height of up to 2 m (6.5 ft) outdoors and 1.5 m (5 ft) indoors. Maintain optimal environmental conditions and a precise feeding schedule for each stage of development. Don't forget to regularly measure the pH and ppm levels of the nutrient solution and runoff. Avoid overwatering and overfeeding, and Amnesia will reward you with a bountiful harvest of firm, incredibly fragrant buds!

The hybrid performs well with all the cultivation methods and training techniques suggested, but the best results in terms of the number of flowers and their weight are obtained with SoG or ScrOG.

If growing outdoors, choose a location that is open to sunlight but well hidden from prying eyes. Water regularly, and treat the soil and foliage with diatomaceous earth, neem oil, or aloe vera extract to repel annoying insects. Let Mother Nature and tough genetics take care of the rest.
