Taking 2nd place for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times' Cannabis Cup, the strain Sour Amnesia is a cross between the legendary Sour Diesel and Amnesia.
Often compared to a shot of espresso, Sour Amnesia's onset of effects is potent, offering users an energetic and euphoric experience that makes everyday tasks seem like a happy adventure. Users enjoy its cerebral lift during social situations, making it a good pairing for a night out on the town or a dance floor. Some reviewers have experienced a spacey and sensory high, leaving them entranced with creative and inspirational thoughts for hours. As the blissful high of Sour Amnesia starts to settle in, users reported a pleasurable body buzz that leaves them calm, focused, and pain-free. While those suffering from pain, anxiety, and fatigue have found some relief when using this strain.
The buds of Sour Amnesia emit a loud and pungent earthy, citrusy, and petrol aroma accompanied by a sharp and citrusy diesel smoke that quickly turns sour. A light overtone of fresh earth and floral notes brings a light softness to its tart flavor.
This tall and generous yielding plant is easy to grow for novice cultivators and is estimated to produce about 16-17 ounces per square meter and can be grown in or outdoors. When properly cultivated and cured, Sour Amnesia produces light green resin-coated buds that are oblong in shape, vivid green with purple and pink hues, and coated in crystal trichomes that flake off when one starts to handle the buds.
