Amnesia Haze is an iconic strain developed by Soma Seeds (Amsterdam), resulting from complex crosses between Haze and native genetics from Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and Hawaii. Known for its uplifting and relaxing effect, generous yield, and distinctive aromatic profile, Amnesia Haze has won international awards and gained great popularity among growers and consumers.

 

Origin and Genetics

  • Breeder: Soma Seeds, Amsterdam.

  • Lineages: Haze crossed with varieties from Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and Hawaii.

  • Note: do not confuse with the "Amnesia" strain created by David Paul Watson (Sam ‘the Skunkman’), which has different genetics (Bubble Gum x Super Silver Haze).

     

Awards and Recognition

  • 1st place — High Times Cannabis Cup 2004.

  • 1st place in the Sativa category — High Times Cannabis Cup 2012.
    These awards reinforce the consistency and quality of the phenotype when well cultivated.

     

Effects and Flavors

  • Main effects: euphoric sensation, increased creativity, mental clarity followed by relaxation. Recommended for users seeking a stimulating effect during the day with a smoother finish.

  • Flavors/aromas: citrus and earthy notes with sweet and spicy touches (depending on the phenotype and the dominant terpene).

 

Cultivation Information

  • Dominance: Sativa (explains height and larger flower production).

  • Flowering period: 84–91 days (relatively long cycle; requires patience).

  • Environment: designed for indoor cultivation, but viable outdoors in warm, sunny climates.

  • Characteristics: tall plants, abundant bud production, may require pruning and training (SCROG, topping) to control height and maximize yield.

  • Quick tips: control humidity during flowering to avoid mold; provide balanced nutrients and good air circulation; consider vegetative stretching to take advantage of Sativa phenology.

 

Who It Is Recommended For

  • Recreational and medicinal consumers seeking a cerebral and creative effect with a relaxing component.

  • Growers with medium/advanced experience due to the flowering time and plant size.
