Understanding Amnesia Haze as a strain family
Amnesia Haze is not one globally uniform product with one binding pedigree. Several seedbanks use the name for different Haze-related lines, selections and seed formats.
Effect descriptions, THC figures, terpenes, flowering times and genetic percentages must therefore be assigned to the specific breeder version. This page separates the wider Amnesia Haze family from the current RQS products in the Cannoptikum range.

What is Amnesia Haze?
Amnesia Haze describes a wider modern Haze family. The name can identify a historical seedbank line, a breeder-specific reproduction, a feminized release, regular seed or an autoflowering cross.
A shared name does not automatically mean shared parents. Products with similar Haze-related aroma descriptions may also differ in plant structure, flowering time and genetic composition.
Verification rule
Reliable classification requires the seedbank, documented parents, seed format and product-specific data. The strain name alone is insufficient.
Origin and different breeding histories
The names Amnesia and Amnesia Haze are associated with Dutch breeding and coffeeshop history of the 1990s and 2000s. Their early history is not represented by one universally agreed pedigree.
Soma Seeds describes its own Amnesia Haze as a complex combination of Southeast Asian lines, including Thai, Cambodian and Laotian material, Jamaican Haze varieties and Afghani-Hawaiian genetics. This pedigree belongs to the Soma release and should not be assigned automatically to every Amnesia Haze.
Royal Queen Seeds lists the photoperiod product included here as Original Amnesia Haze. The autoflower is separately listed as Amnesia × Ruderalis. These two products already require different data sheets.

Amnesia Haze by Royal Queen Seeds
This feminized photoperiod version is based on Original Amnesia Haze according to RQS. It has its own data sheet and should not be treated as identical to the Soma release or unrelated Amnesia Haze products.
Amnesia Haze Automatic by Royal Queen Seeds
The autoflower combines Amnesia with ruderalis. It is not merely a shortened copy of the photoperiod release, but a separate automatic cross with a different life cycle and genetic distribution.
How should Amnesia Haze effects be interpreted?
Effects are not an unchanging property of a strain name. They depend on the specific genetics, phenotype, cannabinoid profile, amount used, individual sensitivity and context.
Royal Queen Seeds describes its photoperiod release in the product data as long-lasting, powerful and physically relaxing. These are breeder descriptions for one product, not a universal definition of every Amnesia Haze line.
Terms such as creative, energetic or suitable for daytime use should not be treated as reliable guarantees or medical recommendations. The Amnesia Haze name alone does not establish therapeutic effects or suitability for particular conditions.
Classification: This page covers documented genetic and product traits. It does not provide medical advice or make treatment claims.
Aroma and terpene information
Both RQS products are described through citrus, earth, herbs and pepper. These terms identify the sensory direction of the specified releases.
An aroma description is not automatically a complete analytical terpene profile. A fixed list of limonene, myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene should therefore not be assigned to the photoperiod product without version-specific evidence.
For Amnesia Haze Automatic, an RQS grow report names terpinolene, caryophyllene and myrcene. This remains product-specific information rather than a universal profile for all Amnesia Haze genetics.
| Information | What it indicates | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Citrus, earth, herbs, pepper | sensory product description | not a complete laboratory analysis |
| Terpinolene, caryophyllene and myrcene in the auto | documented product-specific profile | not a universal profile for every Amnesia Haze |
| Haze aroma | wider aromatic orientation | not proof of one pedigree through aroma alone |
Photoperiod Amnesia Haze
The feminized RQS release responds to changes in the light cycle. It is listed as 70% sativa and 30% indica with a flowering period of 65–70 days.
The THC ceiling of up to 22% belongs only to this product data sheet. It should not be presented as an average or universal figure for every Amnesia Haze version.
Plant structure, indoor and outdoor height, and harvest timing are covered in How to Grow Amnesia Haze.
Amnesia Haze Automatic
Amnesia Haze Automatic combines Amnesia with ruderalis and enters flowering independently of a change in the light schedule.
RQS lists this version as 50% sativa, 20% indica and 30% ruderalis. The product data gives a THC ceiling of up to 18% and a total life cycle of 75–85 days.
The autoflower therefore has a different genetic composition, timing system and plant frame from the photoperiod Amnesia Haze.
Amnesia, Amnesia Haze and other versions
Amnesia and Amnesia Haze are sometimes used as overlapping names within the international strain market. Additional labels include Original Amnesia, Amnesia Core Cut, Amnesia Lemon, Amnesia Auto and many breeder-specific hybrids.
These names should not be treated as synonyms without checking:
- the breeder responsible for the release,
- the documented parents,
- whether the seed is photoperiod or autoflowering,
- whether the reference involves seed or a maintained clone,
- which data explicitly belongs to that product.

Perspective from the Cannoptikum Crew
“With Amnesia Haze, the breeder version matters more than the familiar name. Photoperiod, regular and automatic releases can differ considerably in genetics and plant structure.”Frequently asked questions about Amnesia Haze
No. Several seedbanks use the name for different lines and seed formats. Pedigree and product data must be checked by version.
The photoperiod RQS release is based on Original Amnesia Haze. The autoflower combines Amnesia with ruderalis and has a self-flowering life cycle.
There is no universal figure. The photoperiod RQS version is listed at up to 22%, while the autoflower is listed at up to 18%. Other breeder versions may differ.
It depends on the version. An RQS grow report names terpinolene, caryophyllene and myrcene for Amnesia Haze Automatic. This list does not automatically apply to every Amnesia Haze line.
The name alone does not define fixed effects. Breeder descriptions apply only to the specified product, and individual experience and composition may differ.
Conclusion
Amnesia Haze is a wider Haze-related strain family rather than one universal data sheet. Soma Seeds, Royal Queen Seeds and other breeders maintain their own versions. Accurate classification therefore depends on the seedbank, documented parents, seed format and product-specific data.
