How to Grow Amnesia CBD Auto

Amnesia CBD Auto brings the bright, lemony Haze character of Amnesia into a gentle, CBD-rich autoflower. It carries 10–12% CBD with only a little THC, a fruity, lemon and sweet flavour and a focused, happy, relaxed character, on a quick, easy plant that suits new growers well.

Built from Amnesia XXL Auto crossed with an Auto CBD line, this is a balanced 50% indica, 50% sativa strain bred to keep THC low while bringing CBD forward. The result is a clear-headed, barely psychoactive smoke with the zesty citrus-haze profile Amnesia is known for.

Because it is fast, forgiving and CBD-focused, Amnesia CBD Auto is a great choice for beginners and for anyone after a gentle, low-THC crop. You can see the full genetics and buy Amnesia CBD Auto seeds on the strain page, and browse more of our CBD range alongside it.

Climate and Where to Grow It

Amnesia CBD Auto does well in a temperate climate with mild, steady conditions and plenty of light. It is a tough, adaptable plant that performs both outdoors and in a controlled indoor tent, reaching a tall-for-an-auto 1.5 m that still stays easy to manage.

Because it is autoflowering, it does not wait for the seasons. You can plant it almost any time in a warm stretch and it will run its full cycle, which makes several harvests in a single year possible outdoors. A single plant brings in a solid 400–500 g outdoors, while indoors it produces a strong 450–500 g/m².

Indoors, aim for daytime temperatures around 68–80°F (20–27°C) and keep steady airflow through the canopy. Its citrusy haze aroma is lively, so a carbon filter is worth having if discretion matters to you.

Growing Autoflowering Seeds

The big advantage of an autoflower is that it flowers on its own schedule rather than on a light change. Amnesia CBD Auto starts to bloom a few weeks from seed, regardless of the day length, and finishes the whole run in roughly 8–10 weeks. There is no need to switch the lights to a shorter day.

For the best results, give it plenty of light, 18–20 hours a day works well from start to finish, and start it in its final pot. Autoflowers have a short, fixed life, so transplanting sets them back and costs you growth you cannot get back. Being a female-only autoflower, it also needs no sexing, so there are no males to spot or remove.

Feeding Schedule (EC Guide)

Autoflowers are fast plants that prefer a lighter touch than a big photoperiod strain. Start gently, build up slowly as the plant grows, and taper off for the final flush so the bright lemon-fruit flavour stays clean.

StageEC (mS/cm)Notes
Seedling0.4–0.6Very light feed, focus on healthy root growth
Vegetative growth0.8–1.2Build the frame, raise nitrogen gradually
Early flower1.2–1.4Shift toward bloom nutrients (P and K)
Full flower1.4–1.6Peak bloom feed while the buds swell
Flush0.0–0.4Plain water for the final 1–2 weeks

Flowering and Harvest

With flowering starting a few weeks in, the whole plant is usually ready to cut 8–10 weeks from seed. As a balanced hybrid with haze in its background, it shows a bit of sativa stretch and open structure, with a resinous bud set that fills in well under good light.

For a CBD strain, timing the harvest around cloudy trichomes keeps the profile balanced and the flavour at its best. Keep the canopy open so light and air reach the lower buds, and run a short plain-water flush in the last week or two before you cut.

Drying and Curing

Dry whole plants or branches in a dark room at around 60°F (15–18°C) and 55–60% humidity for 7–14 days, until the thin stems snap rather than bend. A slow, even dry stops the airy haze buds drying too fast while protecting the bright, citrusy aroma.

Then cure the trimmed buds in sealed jars, burping them daily for the first week and letting them settle for three to four weeks. A proper cure brings the lemon and fruity notes forward over the sweet base and smooths the smoke, which is exactly what this CBD-rich Amnesia cross deserves.

What to Do With Your Trim

Don’t bin the sugar leaves you remove while manicuring. Amnesia CBD Auto is a resinous plant, so the trim is excellent for dry sift, bubble hash or rosin, giving you a bonus run of CBD-rich, low-THC concentrate from material most growers throw away.

Flavor and Terpenes

Amnesia CBD Auto has a bright, zesty flavour of lemon and sweet fruit, the lively citrus-haze character that Amnesia is loved for. It is a fresh, uplifting profile rather than a heavy or gassy one, which makes it an easy, moreish smoke.

It carries a layered terpene stack. Six shape the aroma: limonene drives the bright lemon note; myrcene anchors the sweet, fruity base; terpinolene adds a fresh, fruity lift; ocimene brings a sweet, herbal brightness; linalool rounds it with a soft floral note; and pinene adds a crisp, resinous edge. A supporting cast of caryophyllene and carene fills in the background.

Effects and Best Use

With its 10–12% CBD and only a little THC, Amnesia CBD Auto is reported as focused, happy and relaxed, a clear-headed, upbeat feel with very little of the high you would get from a THC-rich strain. It suits growers who want the lively Amnesia flavour and a gentle lift while keeping things mild and functional.

Because the THC stays low, it is approachable and easy to enjoy at any time of day, which fits its beginner-friendly nature. That gentle profile, the fast cycle, the strong yield and the bright lemon-fruit flavour make it a genuinely rewarding grow for anyone exploring CBD-forward cannabis.

FAQ

Is Amnesia CBD Auto high in THC?

No. Amnesia CBD Auto is a CBD-forward strain with 10–12% CBD and only a little THC. That balance keeps it mild and clear-headed, giving you the lively, lemony Amnesia flavour and a gentle lift without the strong, heady high that a THC-rich strain would normally deliver.

How long does it take from seed to harvest?

About 8–10 weeks from seed, which is quick and hands-off. As an autoflower it starts flowering on its own after a few weeks regardless of the light schedule, so there is no vegetative stage to time and no light-cycle flip to manage, keeping the whole run simple.

Do I need to change the light schedule?

No. Amnesia CBD Auto flowers automatically, so you can run 18–20 hours of light from start to finish and it will not wait for a shorter day to begin flowering. That hands-off schedule is one of the main reasons autoflowers are so forgiving and popular with new growers.

Is Amnesia CBD Auto good for beginners?

Yes. It is fast, forgiving and needs no sexing, and its low THC makes it approachable to grow and to enjoy. Start it in its final pot, give it plenty of light and consider a carbon filter for the lively citrus aroma, and it is a very straightforward plant.

What does Amnesia CBD Auto taste like?

Expect a bright, zesty mix of lemon and sweet fruit, the classic citrus-haze profile of Amnesia rather than a heavy or earthy one. Its limonene carries the lemon note, while myrcene, terpinolene and ocimene fill in the sweet, fruity backbone underneath the aroma.

How much does it yield?

It is a strong producer for a CBD autoflower: 1.47–1.64 oz/ft² (450–500 g/m²) indoors, and 14.11–17.64 oz (400–500 g) per plant outdoors in a good season. Give it plenty of light and a steady feed through bloom and it rewards you with resinous buds.
