Crystal Amnesia
Also known as: Crystal Amnesia Haze, Crystal Amnesia Auto
Crystal Amnesia Strain Overview
Crystal Amnesia is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining genetics from two legendary strains: Amnesia Haze and an undisclosed crystal-producing parent, likely a phenotype of White Widow or another resin-heavy variety. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from European breeders seeking to enhance the already potent Amnesia Haze with exceptional trichome production and visual appeal. While its exact breeding lineage beyond Amnesia Haze is often kept proprietary by seed banks, the 'Crystal' designation consistently refers to its remarkably frosty appearance and high resin content.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, spear-shaped buds that are densely covered in milky-white trichomes, giving the flowers a crystalline, sugar-coated appearance. The buds typically display vibrant green coloration with occasional orange pistils weaving through the dense floral structure. Crystal Amnesia plants tend to be tall and stretchy with long internodes, reflecting its sativa heritage. The aroma profile is complex, blending the signature citrus and earthy notes of Amnesia Haze with additional sweet and spicy undertones from its crystal parentage.
Crystal Amnesia has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its balanced yet potent effects and exceptional bag appeal. The strain is particularly noted for its cerebral effects that many users describe as clear-headed and energizing, making it suitable for daytime use. Its high trichome production also makes it a favorite among extract artists and hash makers. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, Crystal Amnesia has established itself as a reliable and visually striking variety in the modern cannabis market.

Crystal Amnesia Strain Growing Information
Crystal Amnesia is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and height management requirements. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial at approximately 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit significant vertical stretch during the flowering phase, often doubling or tripling in height, making them better suited for experienced growers who can manage height through training techniques like topping, LST (low-stress training), or SCROG (screen of green). Crystal Amnesia thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to most growing mediums including soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems.
Special considerations include maintaining adequate spacing between plants due to their expansive growth, providing strong support for heavy colas during late flowering, and implementing rigorous pest prevention measures as the dense buds can attract insects. The plants benefit from extended vegetative growth periods to maximize yield potential. Crystal Amnesia's exceptional resin production makes it particularly susceptible to light burn, so maintaining proper distance from light sources is crucial during late flowering.
