Amnesia Blue Head Band
Delivers the perfect balance of stress relief and physical comfort without knocking you out.
Amnesia Blue Head Band is one of those rare creatures in the cannabis world – a perfectly balanced Indica/Sativa hybrid.
Amnesia Blue Head Band strain info:
It combines the genetics of three famously potent strains, each bringing its specific assets to the table. The first is Amnesia, a citrusy Sativa known for its time-bending euphoric mental high. The other parents are Indica-dominants whose effects lean more towards the physical – Blueberry and Head Band. The former is notoriously sedating, with just a tiny amount leading to near-instant couch-lock and deep sleep. On the other hand, Head Band works more slowly by first creating a soothing sensation at the temples before distributing it throughout the body.
The resulting three-way fusion’s effects are equal parts cerebral and corporeal. It is an excellent strain for late afternoon or early evening sessions because it helps to release all the pent-up stress and tension that accumulated during the day. At the same time, it combats weariness with a shot of mild invigoration. It is just enough to allow you to enjoy whatever serene activity you have lined up, like cooking a nice dinner or finishing a small craft project. After a while, though, you will find yourself just lounging on the couch, savoring an exquisite body stone.
This strain’s aroma is a perfect amalgamation of its origins, too. The dense, pinecone-shaped buds exude an old-school dankness that can be smelled from a mile away. However, strong hints of lemon and berry provide freshness as well. The fragrance and flavor are very exciting for cannabis enthusiasts, including medical consumers seeking the health benefits brought about by its 18 to 20% THC content.
Amnesia Blue Head Band is currently available as feminized seeds. That means they are 99.99% guaranteed to sprout female plants. The male genes have already been eliminated to prevent pollen-producing males and hermaphrodites from invading the crop. Therefore, there is no need to identify and separate different sexes that could cause accidental pollination.

Amnesia Blue Head Band Grow Info
Although Amnesia Blue Head Band is considered a 50/50 hybrid in terms of its effects, its growth pattern leans more towards the Indica side. Just by looking at the plant, you can tell that it will never become too tall like a Sativa. The foliage made up of broad, emerald-green greens is closely packed due to the small spaces between the nodes. There is one dominant cola on top, but plenty of side branches give it a bushy appearance. Those branches are thick and sturdy enough to carry the weight of the dense, orange-haired buds; additional support is not needed.
The foliage requires regular manicuring, though. Like some Indicas, it tends to grow shaggy and unruly if left on its own. Pruning the excess leaves and trimming the non-essential stems promotes better airflow and deters moisture-related diseases. In addition, grooming is one of the easiest ways to increase the yield. It allows the plant to focus its energy on what’s most important – namely, producing fatter trichome-coated buds.
This strain’s mature height is around 120 to 150 cm only (4 to 5 feet). Because of that small size and its compact shape, it can fit into an average grow room or tent without any problem. A standard ceiling height is sufficient for it to stretch, but don’t forget to keep the grow lamp a safe distance from the top of the plant to prevent leaf burn from the heat. Especially during the 8 to 10-week flowering period, you should monitor the ambient temperature to ensure that it falls within the 21 to 26-degrees Celsius range (70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Meanwhile, the RH (relative humidity) level should be maintained at 40 to 50% to boost the buds’ cannabinoid concentration.
Cannabis cultivators with previous experience will be glad to know that this strain adapts well to all sorts of training techniques. The most straightforward is the Sea of Green (SoG) method, which even novices will have no trouble implementing. By raising several plants simultaneously, the available space is maximized while reducing costs. Moreover, it shortens the vegetative phase so that the plants can be switched to the flowering period sooner.
More advanced growers can employ low-stress training (LST), topping, or fimming to encourage the plant to form more bud sites. It will grow more laterally than vertically, thus exposing the developing colas to adequate light and air. These techniques are typically combined with a Screen of Green (ScroG) configuration that uses a net or screen to secure and support the branches. Using either SoG or ScroG, a generous yield of 450 to 500 grams (16 to 18 ounces) can be expected.
Outdoor cultivation is also an excellent option if the climate is suitable since each plant can generate even more buds than indoors – up to 600 grams (21 ounces) in mid to late October. This strain flourishes in warm, balmy areas similar to the Mediterranean, and it especially favors lots of sunshine. Nonetheless, it can tolerate occasional drops in nighttime temperature during the budding period in October. The cold activates the blue pigments (anthocyanins) in the leaves and flowers to produce a lovely purple hue – a characteristic it inherited from Blueberry.
