Amnesia Lemon
Amnesia Lemon
Also known as: Amnesia Lemon Haze
Overview
Amnesia Lemon is a distinguished sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain originally created through collaboration between Amsterdam-based Barney's Farm and legendary breeder Soma in the early 2000s. This award-winning strain secured the Cannabis Cup in 2004 and won the Sativa Cup in 2012, establishing itself as one of the most sought-after varieties in Dutch coffee shops before spreading worldwide. The strain represents a carefully crafted cross between the legendary Amnesia Haze and Lemon Skunk, combining the best qualities of both parent strains.
Amnesia Lemon plants display characteristic sativa-leaning features with slender leaves and medium height, typically reaching 70-110cm indoors and up to 2-3 meters outdoors. The buds are notably dense and resinous, showcasing an emerald green color with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a crystalline, frosty appearance. The strain is particularly valued for its relatively short flowering time of 8-10 weeks, which is faster than most Haze varieties that typically require over 10 weeks.
The aromatic profile of Amnesia Lemon is dominated by intense lemon and citrus notes, complemented by earthy undertones, sweet tropical fruits, and subtle hints of spice, pepper, and incense. This complex terpene profile contributes both to its distinctive flavor and its therapeutic properties, making it a favorite among both recreational users and medical patients seeking mood enhancement and creative stimulation.

Growing Information
Amnesia Lemon is considered a medium difficulty strain to cultivate, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers due to its resilience and adaptability. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), which is notably shorter than most Haze varieties. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 70-110cm and can produce yields of 500-600g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor cultivation results in taller plants (1.7-3 meters) with harvest times in early to mid-October, capable of producing up to 1-1.5kg per plant. The strain prefers warm climates and benefits from training techniques like SCROG due to its stretching tendency. Growers should use carbon filters as the plants produce a strong, pungent aroma. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases but requires proper ventilation and humidity control.
