How to grow Amsterdam Amnesia
Taste
Seb's take
Floral and citrus on the nose with an unusual cinnamon note running through, a fair reflection of the coffee-shop tradition she takes her name from. At 20-25% THC the high stays uplifting, social and energetic rather than heavy — good company, and suited to it.
Where it comes from
Dutch Passion offer this as a hybrid built in the image of Amsterdam's coffeeshops, and the name is earned rather than borrowed. The record names no parents, so I will not invent a lineage for her; what it does supply is a stellar reputation and robust genetics, and a character that reflects the sociable tradition she takes her name from. A house strain of pedigree, if a reticent one on paper.
Nose & flavour
Floral and citrus lead the nose, bright and clean, with an unusual cinnamon note running through the middle that lifts her out of the ordinary. It is the cinnamon that lingers in the memory, a warm, spiced counterpoint to the citrus above it. A vibrant profile, and a more distinctive one than most in the family manage.
The high
Uplifting, social and energetic, which is precisely the temperament you would expect of something named for a coffeeshop. This is a high for good company and creative pursuits rather than for the armchair. At 20 to 25% THC there is proper weight behind the cheer, so measure the enthusiasm accordingly. Good company, and suited to it.
Growing it
Sixty-three to seventy-seven days in flower, a standard turn, on a medium frame of a hundred to a hundred and fifty centimetres. Yields are solid at five hundred to six hundred grams the square metre. At 20 to 25% THC she sits toward the potent end, so this is a plant to sip rather than session. The genetics are described as robust, which in practice means she is not inclined to make a fuss of ordinary care. A dependable grow.
