Pure Amnesia
Also known as: Pure Amnesia Haze
Pure Amnesia Strain Overview
Pure Amnesia is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a stabilized version of the classic Amnesia Haze. Developed through selective breeding, this strain maintains the cerebral effects and distinctive flavor profile of its parent while offering more consistent growth characteristics. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to refine the original Amnesia genetics, which had become popular in European coffee shops but exhibited some variability in cultivation.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking visual contrast. The leaves are narrow and light green, consistent with its sativa heritage.
Pure Amnesia is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile that combines citrus, earthy, and spicy notes. The strain has gained recognition for its reliable performance and consistent effects, making it a favorite among both recreational users and cultivators seeking a dependable sativa experience. While less famous than some other haze varieties, it has developed a dedicated following in European cannabis circles.

Pure Amnesia Strain Growing Information
Pure Amnesia is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants can reach considerable heights, often growing between 150-200 cm indoors and potentially exceeding 250 cm outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Indoor growers should provide ample vertical space due to its sativa growth pattern. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help manage height and improve yields. Pure Amnesia is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The plants benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene development.
