Big Amnesia
Also known as: Big Amnesia Haze, Big Amnesia Auto
What is the Big Amnesia strain?
Big Amnesia is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Big Amnesia is a potent cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary varieties: Big Bud and Amnesia Haze. This hybrid was developed to create a high-yielding plant with the distinctive cerebral effects and flavor profile of Amnesia Haze, while incorporating the robust structure and generous bud production of Big Bud. The strain emerged in the European cannabis scene during the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a more manageable version of the notoriously tall and lanky Amnesia Haze, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Visually, Big Amnesia plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a classic Haze structure, though they tend to be more compact than pure Amnesia Haze phenotypes. The flowers are often light green with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma combines the sweet, citrusy notes characteristic of Amnesia Haze with earthy, skunky undertakes inherited from its Big Bud lineage. When properly cured, the buds emit a complex fragrance that evolves from lemon and lime notes to deeper, more pungent aromas upon breaking apart.
Big Amnesia has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators due to its balanced effects and relatively straightforward growing requirements. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, it has established a niche following in European cannabis circles and among home growers seeking a high-yielding sativa-dominant hybrid. The strain's effects typically begin with an uplifting cerebral rush that gradually transitions into a more relaxed body sensation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage and individual tolerance.

How do you grow Big Amnesia?
Big Amnesia is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, often reaching 500-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates outdoors. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height (1.5-2 meters outdoors) with strong branching that requires some training and support during flowering. Big Amnesia responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques to maximize yield and manage height. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation, particularly in humid environments.
