High Amperage
Also known as: High Amps
What is the High Amperage strain?
High Amperage is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
High Amperage is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Amnesia Haze and a selected phenotype of their own Amnesia Sour Diesel. This genetic combination results in a balanced hybrid that combines the cerebral stimulation of sativa-dominant strains with the physical relaxation typically associated with indica varieties. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the trend toward high-THC cultivars with complex flavor profiles.
Visually, High Amperage plants produce dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply against the green background. The strain's name references both its potent effects and the electrical terminology, suggesting a powerful experience.
High Amperage is particularly noted for its high THC content, which regularly tests between 20-28%, making it one of the more potent strains available. The combination of its genetic lineage results in a complex terpene profile that contributes to both its effects and flavor. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, High Amperage has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive sensory characteristics.
