Lemon Amnesia Strain Description
Amnesia Lemon Strain is a feminized hybrid derived from Skunk #1 and Amnesia Haze, featuring 40% Indica and 60% Sativa genetics. It carries medium THC levels of 18%–21% with minimal CBD (0.02%), delivering a happy, energetic experience perfect for daytime use. Mature plants stay compact at about 3.28 ft (1 m), ideal for small spaces.
The aroma is a harmonious blend of citrus, fruity, and sweet notes, driven by terpenes like Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Limonene, Linalool, Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Terpinolene. Consumers report creative, euphoric, and relaxed effects, along with relief from depression (Caryophyllene & Linalool), insomnia (Myrcene & Terpineol), and muscle spasms (Myrcene & Humulene).

Growing Environment
Maintain indoor temperatures between 70°F and 78°F (21°C–25°C), dropping slightly at night to mimic natural conditions. During vegetative growth, keep humidity at 55%–65% to encourage vigorous leaf development. As flowering begins, reduce humidity to 40%–50% to prevent mold and enhance resin production.
Outdoors, choose a sunny, sheltered location with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Amend beds with compost or worm castings before planting. Protect from strong winds and provide at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. In cooler climates, consider a greenhouse or hoop house to extend the season and maintain ideal conditions.
Setting Up Your Grow Space
Lemon Amnesia Strain Indoor Cultivation
Use a grow tent or dedicated room lined with reflective Mylar to maximize light. Mount full-spectrum LED or HPS lights on an 18/6 cycle in veg, switching to 12/12 for flowering. Install an exhaust fan and oscillating fans to control temperature, humidity, and airflow.
Start in 2–3 gallon pots with a light, airy soil mix (pH 6.0–6.5). Transplant early into final containers to avoid stress. Automated timers and a digital hygrometer/thermometer help maintain stable conditions throughout the 8–10 week cycle.
Lemon Amnesia Strain Outdoor Cultivation
Plant Lemon Amnesia in raised beds or fabric pots after the last frost. Mix native soil with compost and perlite for drainage. Space plants at least 2–3 ft apart to ensure good airflow and light penetration.
Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries, then allow moderate drying between sessions. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. In rainy regions, use a simple shade cloth to protect buds during early flowering.
Seed Propagation and Germination
Soak seeds in distilled water for 12–24 hours, then transfer to damp paper towels at 75°F–80°F (24°C–27°C). Once taproots appear, plant seeds taproot-down ½ inch into starter mix. Cover with a humidity dome until sprouts emerge.
Provide 18–20 hours of gentle light until true leaves form. Remove the dome gradually over 3–4 days to acclimate seedlings to ambient humidity and airflow. Avoid overwatering by misting the surface rather than flooding.
Lemon Amnesia Strain Vegetative Phase
Maintain an 18/6 light schedule. Feed with a nitrogen-rich nutrient formula (N-P-K 3-1-2) at half strength once a week. Use low-stress training (LST) during weeks 2–3 to spread the canopy and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
Keep temperatures at 70°F–78°F (21°C–25°C) and humidity at 55%–65%. Introduce beneficial microbes or kelp foliar sprays in early veg to boost root health. Prune lower foliage to focus energy on the upper canopy and improve airflow.
Lemon Amnesia Strain Flowering Phase
Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to initiate flowering. Feed a bloom nutrient blend high in phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K 1-3-2). Lower humidity to 40%–50% and maintain temperatures at 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C) to maximize resin and terpene production.
Remove large fan leaves around week 4 to expose bud sites to light and air. Support heavy colas with soft ties or netting as buds swell during weeks 6–8. Begin flushing with plain water during the final week to improve smoothness and flavor.
Fertilization and Nutrition
Use a veg formula (3-1-2) until week 4, then switch to bloom (1-3-2) through week 7 and finish with 0-3-3 in late bloom. Include calcium, magnesium, and trace elements. Flush with pH-balanced water in the last week to remove nutrient buildup and enhance taste.
Organic amendments like worm castings, bone meal, and kelp meal feed soil microbes and boost terpene expression. A foliar seaweed spray in early bloom can support healthy flower set.
Pest and Disease Control
Inspect daily for spider mites, aphids, and thrips. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at the first sign of infestation, treating leaf undersides. Deploy yellow sticky traps to monitor flying pests and reduce populations.
Maintain strong airflow to prevent powdery mildew and botrytis. Avoid overhead watering near colas. Quarantine new plants for 7 days to prevent pest introduction into your main grow.
Lemon Amnesia Strain Harvesting and Curing
Harvest when 70%–80% of trichomes are cloudy with some amber. Cut branches and remove large fan leaves. Hang upside-down in a dark, ventilated room at 60–70°F (15°C–21°C) and 50% humidity, rotating every 2–3 days for 7–10 days until stems snap.
Trim buds and place in glass jars filled to ¾ capacity. “Burp” jars for 5–10 minutes daily during the first week, then weekly for 2–4 weeks. Use humidity packs to maintain 60%–62% RH, preserving aroma and smoothness.
Post-Harvest: Drying, Curing & Storage
After stems snap, perform final trim and jar buds in airtight containers no more than ¾ full. “Burp” jars daily for the first week, then weekly for 2–4 weeks. Maintain 60%–62% RH with packs to lock in terpenes.
Store cured jars in a cool, dark place at 60–65°F (15–18°C). Avoid light exposure and temperature swings. For long-term storage, add desiccant or RH regulators to maintain quality for months.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Nutrient Deficiencies & Excesses: Yellowing leaves (chlorosis) often indicate nitrogen deficiency, while burnt leaf tips signal nutrient burn from overfeeding. To correct deficiencies, gradually increase nutrient concentration and monitor plant response; for excesses, flush media with pH-balanced water until runoff EC drops, then resume feeding at 50% strength. Always keep N-P-K ratios appropriate to growth stage and watch new growth for signs of recovery.
Environmental Stress: Heat stress shows as curled or scorched leaf edges, while light burn appears as bleached patches on upper leaves. Improve ventilation, adjust lamp height or intensity, and maintain daytime temps below 80°F (27°C). Low humidity can slow growth and invite spider mites; use a humidifier to raise RH into the 60%–65% range during veg and then lower for bloom.
Watering & pH/EC Control: Overwatering causes drooping and root rot; ensure pots drain freely and water only when the top 1″ of soil is dry. Underwatering leads to wilting soak the media thoroughly when you water. Measure pH and EC on every feeding: keep pH at 6.0–6.5 and EC at 1.2–1.8 mS/cm. Use pH up/down solutions to correct pH and dilute nutrient solutions to adjust EC.
