Amnesia #7
Amnesia #7 is the new and improved version of the world-famous Amnesia strain.
Amnesia #7 was created by Exotic Seed when they combined the genes of the Hy-Pro edition of Amnesia and their own Peyote Purple #7.
Amnesia #7 strain info:
The result was a hybrid that retained the 70% Sativa composition of Amnesia but is more aromatic, with an emphasis on exotic incense and sweet floral tones. Indeed, this weed’s fragrance leans more towards the earthy Kush strains than the sour Amnesias. That’s because PP #7 is a descendant of Bubba Kush, which is part of the iconic OG Kush line.
In terms of effects, the Amnesia tendency towards hyperactivity has also been tempered a little. It still provides an energetic, cheerful buzz that is perfect for socializing, but at the same time, it calms the mind and enhances focus. A physically soothing sensation is also evident, giving medical marijuana consumers a new option for reducing tension and pain.
Furthermore, the plant itself is more robust and stable than its parent. As a Sativa, it still requires warm weather to grow successfully outdoors, and the flowering period is somewhat longer than Indica-dominant hybrids. However, it exhibits stronger resistance to pests and diseases, and it does not need to be pruned and trimmed as often.
More importantly, Amnesia #7 is a medium-sized strain. It is possible to propagate it in an average grow room with a standard ceiling height. Still, if vertical space indoors is an issue, basic training techniques can be implemented without any problem. It responds well to both LST and HST methods and is resilient enough to forgive novice mistakes.
This strain is only available in a feminized version for now. That means it is suitable for the amateur home grower whose priority is a heavy yield of high-THC, high-resin buds. There is no need to identify and separate plant genders because these beans are guaranteed to sprout an all-female crop.

Amnesia #7 Grow Info
As it grows, Amnesia #7 looks like a typical Sativa. It has a lanky frame with sparse foliage of slender, light-green fan leaves. That said, its main stem does not stretch as much as its cousins during the vegetative stage. The result is a shorter plant with a more bush-like shape. The branches are also more woody than fibrous, giving them robustness that makes it easier to carry the weight of the large, lime-green buds. Additional support like trellises and stakes are usually unnecessary.
Because this strain only grows to a medium height, it is excellent for indoor cultivation. Just make sure to maintain a safe distance between the grow lamp and the top of the plant to prevent light burn. But take care, too, not to place the lights too far away to avoid a growth spurt that could impede the “fattening” of the shrub. This type of overstretching can decrease productivity.
If moving the grow lights is not an option, it would be better to use training techniques to limit the plant’s size. You can combine Low-Stress Training (bending the branches) and the Screen of Green (ScroG) method to stimulate horizontal expansion instead of vertical growth. Experienced growers can also try topping or fimming.
For best results, the grow room should be relatively warm. Keep the temperature within the 21 to 29-degree Celsius (70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit) range. Monitor the relative humidity as well, aiming for about 40 to 50% during the flowering stage. After 9 or 10 weeks of budding, you can drop the RH to 30 to 40% for the last 2 weeks before harvesting. If all goes well, you should be able to collect 500 to 550 grams (17 to 19 ounces) of elongated, yellow-haired nugs per square meter.
If you live in a sunny, balmy area similar to the tropics, you can also raise Amnesia #7 outdoors. Give the plant enough water and nutrients, and it can grow to about 180 cm (6 feet) and produce 600 to 700 grams (21 to 25 ounces) of usable bud. Prepare to harvest in late October.
