sativa-dominant strain

Amnesia Kush

Amnesia Kush crosses Amnesia Haze with OG Kush, combining citrusy Haze freshness with earthy Kush depth. Sweetness, menthol, pepper, wood and floral notes make the aroma unusually complex. At around 17 to 20 percent THC, the effects often begin lively and euphoric before a calmer physical side becomes more pronounced.

Editorial profile

Amnesia Kush in detail

Origin & classification

Amnesia Kush brings together two very different classics: Amnesia Haze and OG Kush. From the Haze side, the cross inherits citrus, mental liveliness and an open Sativa structure. OG Kush contributes earth, wood, menthol and calmer physical depth. The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid with a clear balance between both families.

Aroma & flavour

The aroma profile is particularly broad. Sweet citrus fruits and fruit stand alongside menthol, pepper, Kush, wood and floral accents. Limonene and Terpinolene support the bright, lively side, while Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Linalool add more earth, spice and softness. Pinene completes the profile with a fresh, forest-like layer.

Terpene profile

The effect tendency often begins head-focused, euphoric and mood-enhancing. As it progresses, the OG Kush side may become more pronounced and create greater physical calm. At approximately 17 to 20 percent THC, Amnesia Kush falls within a potent but not extreme range. The specific value and perception depend on phenotype and batch.

Effect tendency

During growth, the strain may show the stretch and branching of a Haze, but OG Kush generally keeps it more compact than a pure Amnesia. The flowers often develop a denser structure and heavy resin coverage. For cultivation, this combination means that both height and air movement in the dense flowering area should be taken into account.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

Amnesia Kush differs from Amnesia Lemon through its darker, earthier Kush foundation. Compared with a classic OG Kush, it is more citrusy, open and mentally lively. This contrast defines the strain. It is neither merely a Haze with some earthiness nor a heavy Kush with a new name.

Further classification

The key characteristics lie in the clear parentage, the complex terpene profile and the two-stage effect progression. Amnesia Haze × OG Kush explains the citrus, menthol, pepper and wood, as well as the combination of a head-focused onset and physical calm. This allows Amnesia Kush to retain its own identity among the many Amnesia crosses. The numerous terpenes do not create an arbitrary blend, but instead reinforce the clear contrast between bright Haze freshness and a dark Kush foundation.
