Amnesia

Amnesia: Technicolor Buds

The grown Amnesia plant is unlike any other cannabis plant in the world. It has a rainbow of vibrant colors from leaves to buds. Featuring purple, blue, three shades of green, amber, and even red, the color profile of this strain is second to none. Looking at the buds closely, you can see that they appear dusty. The resin that gives the plants that appearance is sticky and full of flavor. Looking at this plant, you wouldn’t ever imagine that it tastes like key lime pie, but it does. When harvested, most of the colors of this strain disappear because of the drying process. You will be left with green and orange nuggets that are as dense as they are tasty. The OG Amnesia strain has won several awards, including, but not limited to, first prize in the Sativa category at Expogrow 2012 in Irun, Absolute Winner at the Highlife Cup in Holland, and second prize in the Sativa category at the Treating Yourself Cup in Toronto in 2014. With all of these awards and accolades, it’s no wonder why the Amnesia strain is among the most popular in the world.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Amnesia is considered challenging, particularly by those with only intermediate experience. However, the effects of the strain are worth the additional effort. Amnesia needs to be grown in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate. Controlling humidity levels is vital to preventing mold growth. One of the best things about Amnesia is that it is particularly resilient to both mold and pests. You still want to keep an eye on the environment and ensure that it has proper ventilation. Taking on this strain is not for the faint of heart, but once you’ve brought it to harvest, you will see that all of the extra work was totally worth it.

Dominant Terpenes in Amnesia: Key Lime Pie

The Amnesia terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while caryophyllene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Musky, earthy aroma. Enhances the strain’s sedative effects.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Found in cloves, oregano, cinnamon, and hops. It may help with pain, stress, and anxiety.
• Limonene: Citrusy – Typically found in citrus rinds as well as cannabis, this terpene gives the strain its fruity and citrus-like notes.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Amnesia:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Amnesia seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That energized, happy, and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying the Amnesia strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Amnesia cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Amnesia are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Amnesia strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
