Growing Tips for Amnesia Lemon Seeds
Amnesia Lemon seeds are hard to grow if you don’t have a ton of experience in cannabis cultivation. This strain prefers warmth, sunlight, and fresh air to thrive. This strain was originally grown in the Netherlands, but was initially grown indoors, so it should be a lot easier to dial in the perfect environment for healthy growth if you grow it indoors yourself. Indoor growers will need nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting, and the correct temperature and humidity to produce favorable yields. Outdoor growers with access to a greenhouse will have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, then you will need to carve out a window of good weather to bring this strain to fruition. Keep in mind that these plants have a strong aroma, so you will need to consider that when planning your outdoor grow, especially if you don’t want your neighbors to smell what you’re growing. These plants grow medium to tall, so you will need vertical and lateral space to give them the best chance at healthy growth. Providing a consistent temperature range of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 40-50% during flowering are critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires a warm, semi-humid climate with lots of sunlight to produce bud-rich plants. Use Low-stress training (LST), Sea of Green, and Screen of Green methods to help increase your yields come harvest time. These methods adjust the canopy of the plants so that each bud, from top to bottom, receives the right amount of light and fresh air to grow. These methods also help support larger buds so that the branches and stems of the plant don’t break under the weight of the nearly full-grown buds. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This will help produce high THC content buds.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Amnesia Lemon strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 550 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600-700 grams per plant. These yields are absolutely massive and a great reward for all of the hard work it takes to bring this specific strain to harvest.
- Harvest: Grown outside, it should be ready to harvest towards the end of October.
Amnesia Lemon Terpenes: Fruity Citrus
The Amnesia Lemon terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while ocimene and terpinolene are the secondary terpenes.
- Myrcene: Most Dominant – Often called the “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Ocimene: Secondary Terpene – Also found in mint, parsley, and basil, ocimene gives cannabis its sweet, fruity, and citrus aroma and flavors.
- Terpinolene: One in Ten – Dominant in about one in ten cannabis plants, ocimene gives weed its woody smell, combined with floral and citrus notes.
Unlike the sharp smell at trimming time, the cured aroma became smooth, citrusy, earthy, and lightly spicy. Vigor was obvious once the roots settled, with healthy leaves and active branching carrying the run forward, and the plant stayed responsive throughout. A brief watering mistake caused some drooping, then the plant recovered and continued without much drama, though the plant kept moving forward confidently. The flowers gained a silvery finish near the end, especially around the smaller leaves, and the final jar had a clean natural look. Curing softened the fresh green edge and brought lemon peel, herbs, and pine into much better balance, which made the flavor feel much more finished. I enjoyed the final result most for its clear citrus flavor and upbeat, social personality, and the finished character felt upbeat and clear. The plant had enough quirks to stay interesting while still feeling approachable.
Steadily, the flowers gained frost and weight while the plant kept a healthy, energetic look. My plant looked happiest with a simple routine and enough room for the side branches to spread naturally. A slightly uneven start had me second-guessing the seedling, but the later growth turned out strong and consistent. The finished flowers looked bright and resinous, with a cleaner shape after trimming than they had on the plant. Curing gave the flower a softer texture and a flavor that felt brighter without becoming sugary. The experience was clear and spirited, making the citrus-heavy profile feel even more fitting.
Thankfully, the finished buds smelled cleaner after curing than they did right after trimming. Its natural shape leaned open and energetic, which made the plant interesting to watch from week to week, which suited the plant’s energetic character. Resin caught the light beautifully near harvest and gave the flowers a crisp, frosted appearance, which gave the harvest plenty of character. Curing softened the fresh green edge and brought lemon peel, herbs, and pine into much better balance, and the cured texture matched the improved aroma. I enjoyed the final result most for its clear citrus flavor and upbeat, social personality, which made the finished flower feel well rounded.
Outdoors, the plant responded well to open space and developed a lively shape with plenty of side growth. A lively growth habit kept the garden changing without making the plant feel overly demanding, which gave the plant a lively but manageable feel. Late flowering made the plant much more photogenic as the buds filled in and the frost became obvious, and the surface frost was easy to appreciate. The finished aroma stayed citrus-forward but picked up enough earth and spice to keep it interesting, which gave the aroma more depth without losing brightness. Using the finished flower felt cheerful and engaging, with the lemon flavor staying noticeable throughout, and the overall experience matched my expectations well.
My Amnesia Lemon plant stayed lively from early growth through flowering and never felt especially fussy. The plant looked happiest with a simple routine and enough room for the side branches to spread naturally, and the growth stayed easy to read. The buds were more elegant than chunky, with bright hairs running through a pale green surface, which gave the buds a bright finished appearance. After curing, the flower smelled brighter and less grassy, while pine and spice became easier to notice, and the pine note settled in nicely behind the citrus.
Around harvest, the resin and lemon aroma became much more obvious than they had been earlier. New growth appeared steadily, and the branches stayed flexible enough to keep the canopy easy to inspect, which suited the plant’s energetic character. Some inner growth became harder to see as the plant filled out, which was the only part that felt inconvenient, and it never turned into a serious issue. By harvest, the buds had a pale green look that made the orange hairs and resin stand out clearly, which became one of my favorite visual details. The aroma settled into lemon rind, pine, mild earth, and a gentle haze-like incense character, and the sharper edges softened in a good way. The experience was clear and spirited, making the citrus-heavy profile feel even more fitting, and the lively character suited the plant’s growth style.
Although the fresh flower smelled sharp, curing brought a cleaner balance of lemon, earth, pine, and spice. New growth appeared steadily, and the branches stayed flexible enough to keep the canopy easy to inspect, which kept daily check-ins interesting. A slightly uneven start had me second-guessing the seedling, but the later growth turned out strong and consistent, though the rest of the grow stayed positive. Trimming exposed plenty of resin and made the individual flowers look much more defined, which gave the harvest plenty of character. A little cure time made the difference between a green flavor and a much smoother citrus-herbal profile, and the cured texture matched the improved aroma. The first thing I noticed after use was the lemony flavor, followed by a pleasantly energetic character, which made the finished flower feel well rounded. What stayed with me most was how naturally the lemon profile emerged as the flowers matured, and the finished jar reinforced that view.
Surprisingly, a small early mistake barely slowed the plant once healthy growth had established itself. Vigor was obvious once the roots settled, with healthy leaves and active branching carrying the run forward, and the growth stayed easy to read. A slightly uneven start had me second-guessing the seedling, but the later growth turned out strong and consistent, and it remained a minor challenge overall. The flowers gained a silvery finish near the end, especially around the smaller leaves, which made the finished buds more appealing than expected. After curing, the flower smelled brighter and less grassy, while pine and spice became easier to notice, and the earthy background became easier to appreciate. I enjoyed the final result most for its clear citrus flavor and upbeat, social personality, and I liked how the flavor remained distinct.
Most memorable was the way the cured flower balanced lemon zest with pine, herbs, and faint incense. The plant looked happiest with a simple routine and enough room for the side branches to spread naturally, which made the canopy interesting without feeling chaotic. The stronger aroma near harvest surprised me more than any difficulty with the plant itself, though it barely affected the finished quality. The finished jar had a nice mix of green, orange, and silver tones without looking overly polished, which gave the buds a bright finished appearance. Curing gave the flower a softer texture and a flavor that felt brighter without becoming sugary, and the sharper edges softened in a good way. The plant had enough quirks to stay interesting while still feeling approachable, which summed up the run nicely.
