Damnesia by Strain Hunters

Sandalwood, incense and cracked black pepper: Damnesia smells like an old Amsterdam temple shop, which is fitting for a cross of two coffeeshop classics.

Green House paired A.M.S., prized for its sweetness and tight flowers, with Amnesia Haze, the big-yielding sativa that ruled Dutch menus for years. The breeder says the cross also picked up better resistance to pests and mould, and it lands at 60% sativa.

Lit, the incense gives way to wood and fruit, with pine and red berries over a deeper haze finish on the exhale.

The breeder describes a creeper that still arrives early and lasts a long time: strong, cerebral and social, good for creative work or a quiet meditative hour, with a pleasant buzz and little couch-lock. Users report it for easing aches and waking a poor appetite.

The plant takes a pine-tree shape of medium height, with 8 to 10 cm internodes and long branches that want support outdoors. It builds long colas and thick, dense trichomes, and the dried buds break open brownish-green with red hues. Growers describe two main types, one tall and quick, one short and compact. The breeder gives nine weeks indoors for up to 900 g per square metre, and 9 to 10 weeks outdoors for up to 1 kg a plant.

It is one of the Strain Hunters lines from Green House Seed Co., the Amsterdam house behind the landrace expedition films begun in 2008.
