Amnesia Haze Seeds & Genetics

Genetics: South Asian x Jamaican x Haze hybrid | Breeder: Soma Seeds / Amsterdam breeders | Type: Sativa-dominant (90% Sativa)

Amnesia Haze is a near-pure sativa developed in Amsterdam from South Asian, Jamaican and Haze genetics. It won multiple High Times Cannabis Cup awards and became a staple of Amsterdam coffeeshops. Soma Seeds, Dinafem and Royal Queen Seeds all produce well-regarded feminised versions. Our beginner cannabis growing guide provides the essential foundation before tackling this advanced strain.

Indoor vs Outdoor Growing Amnesia Haze

SCROG is virtually mandatory for indoor Amnesia Haze - without it, the plant will outgrow most grow tents. See our SCROG guide. Flip to 12/12 after just 4-5 weeks of veg and prepare for significant stretch. LED lighting is preferred for its long flowering period - see our LED grow lights guide. Outdoors, needs a long warm season - Mediterranean and subtropical climates are ideal.

Nutrients & Feeding for Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze is a heavy feeder with high nitrogen demand in veg and substantial phosphorus and potassium requirements throughout its long flowering. Feed EC 1.4-2.2 in veg and 1.6-2.0 during peak flowering. CalMag essential. Begin flush only in the final 10-14 days given the long flowering time. Our nutrients guide has specific guidance for long-flowering sativa strains.

Common Problems & Solutions

Presents multiple challenges: extreme height, very long flowering time, high nutrient demand and sensitivity to humidity. Without SCROG it will overwhelm most indoor spaces. Consistent environmental management is critical during the extended flowering period. Some phenotypes show magnesium deficiency in late flower - supplement CalMag.

Harvest, Drying & Curing Amnesia Haze

Ready after 10-12 weeks of flowering when trichomes are 80-90% cloudy. Preserve psychedelic sativa clarity by not waiting for heavy amber. Hang-dry 10-14 days in cool ventilated conditions. Cure minimum 4-6 weeks - flavour and potency improve significantly with extended curing. Full details in our harvest guide.
