Parent Strain

Sour Amnesia

Hybrid

Origin

Sour Amnesia is a cross of Sour Diesel and Amnesia, from HortiLab Seeds, with one lineage note specifying the East Coast Sour Diesel cut. Sour Diesel brings the fuel and the structure; Amnesia the citrus and the long, clear head. Both parents get made many different ways, so the HortiLab version is the specific thing worth asking for by name.

About

Sour Amnesia crosses two Amsterdam titans and comes out gentler than either.

HortiLab Seeds bred Sour Diesel with Amnesia and took a best-sativa placing at a 2012 High Times Cup. The result keeps the diesel-and-grapefruit nose and the Amnesia head, but with an unusually low anxiety rate.

What to Expect

Sour Amnesia is a clean morning strain. Leafly's breakdown leads with happy at 69 percent, then uplifted at 65, euphoric at 55, energetic at 48 and creative at 48, from a solid number of reviews, describing a bright, productive lift with little edge to it.

Dry mouth is low at 16 percent. An anxious note turns up for only about one in thirty, which is unusual for a strong sativa. It is one of the smoother daytime options in our data.

Flavor and Aroma

Sour Amnesia is grapefruit and citrus over a diesel base, with an earthy, floral edge and a sour brightness. The Sour Diesel fuel and the Amnesia citrus sit together rather than one covering the other. The flavor holds the sour grapefruit and diesel through the exhale.

Terpenes Explained

Sour Amnesia has no terpene panel in our data, only Humulene, Caryophyllene and Linalool as recurring names without amounts. The diesel note comes largely from sulfur compounds a standard panel does not measure.

For a strain whose whole appeal is a specific sour-citrus-fuel balance, the nose is the quality check. A jar that reads flat or purely diesel is not the cut you want.

Cannabinoids and Potency

Sour Amnesia THC varies widely, reported anywhere from the mid-teens to about 22 percent, and sources note some batches test far lower. The lone lab reading in our data is corrupted. CBD is a trace.

This strain swings between crops, so buy on the batch's current test rather than the name's reputation.
