Sour Amnesia Auto: Deep Purple Plants
Sour Amnesia Auto seeds grow into medium-height plants that are bursting with aroma and flavor. The reason for the attention-grabbing aroma is the makeup of these plants. Each leaf and bud is covered in resin crystals. You will see pale purple leaves as well as dull lavender buds. The one part of the buds that really stands out is the bright orange pistils scattered about the bud site. When looked at closely, you can see the trichomes glistening under the grow lights. It looks as if these plants were sprinkled with sweet sugar. The harvested nuggets appear white and green but that is simply because of the trichomes that have transferred from the buds on the plant to the harvested nuggets. This 2nd place winner for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup is a fan favorite among growers and users and has the potential to be one of the top strains in the world. Growers love tackling this strain as it is high in THC and produces hefty yields of really cool-looking buds. Even if you are a first-time cultivator, you should be able to bring this strain to harvest and add some more depth to your resume.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Cultivators have the option of either planting their Sour Amnesia auto cannabis seeds indoors or outdoors. Since these plants reach a medium height, you should provide enough space to allow them to thrive. You’ll want to choose a sunny and dry climate for your Sour Amnesia to flourish fully. While these plants need adequate amounts of water, you don’t want to overdo it. Another helpful tip is to use high-quality lamps when growing indoors to mimic the natural sunshine that this strain loves so much. Even if you have never taken on a cannabis grow before, you should be able to follow a few simple rules to get your Sour Amnesia plants to harvest.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Sour Amnesia Auto cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. After vegetation you will want to dial the light cycle back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark to enter the flowering stage and make it to harvest successfully.
- Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you’ll want to set it at 40-50% during the vegetative growth stage. Dial in your humidity around 40% through the flowering stage to ensure you don’t find mold or bud rot on your plants.
- Training Techniques: Low-stress training (LST) is the best method for this strain. This method allows the strain to grow completely from top to bottom. It requires adjusting the canopy so that light can reach even the lowest buds on the stalk. You can also bend and clip branches that prevent air and light from reaching the lower levels.
The Germination Game Plan
Before you even plant your Sour Amnesia Auto female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days. If grown outdoors, you can typically harvest these cannabis plants around mid-October.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Sour Amnesia Auto is an excellent starter strain for beginner growers. It results in hefty yields of delicious buds that will fill your room with potent aromas. Definitely a solid choice for growers to add to their repertoire.
Dominant Terpenes in Sour Amnesia Auto: Floral Diesel
The Sour Amnesia Auto 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 terpinolene, while myrcene and limonene are secondary terpenes.
- Terpinolene: Most Dominant – Dominant in about one in ten cannabis strains. Terpinolene is recognized for its woody smell as well as floral and citrus notes.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Earthy and herbal, contributing to the strain’s relaxing effects on the user. Known as the “Mother of All Terpenes”.
- Limonene: Common in Citrus – Common in the rinds of citrus fruits, the limonene terpene is known to help improve lung function and can also be found in a number of cannabis strains.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Sour Amnesia Auto:
Cannabinoids play an important role in Sour Amnesia Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That calming, uplifting, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Sour Amnesia Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 22%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying Sour Amnesia Auto cannabis.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Sour Amnesia Auto are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.

Sour Amnesia Auto is the strain I recommend when someone asks for a sociable uplifting option that is also beginner accessible. The autoflowering genetics make the grow simple and predictable and the final product delivers a genuinely excellent sweet sour citrus and diesel flavor with energizing blissful effects that are perfect for any social situation. Grew indoors with LST throughout veg to optimize light distribution. Pale purple lavender buds at harvest covered in trichomes. 450 grams per square meter. The 2012 High Times Best Sativa second place finish is backed up completely by the quality of this strain.

Grew Sour Amnesia Auto as my second grow after a smooth first run with a different strain and the step up in visual appeal was immediately obvious. The pale purple lavender buds with bright orange pistils and glistening trichomes made the grow feel like a real achievement. The autoflowering genetics kept the process beginner accessible and the 55 to 65 day flowering window was efficient. Dense white and green trichome covered nugs at harvest. The sweet sour citrus diesel flavor is excellent. Energizing uplifting and sociable effects from 22% THC. A wonderful second grow experience.

These seeds were my first attempt at auto flowering genetics. Germination was nearly perfect, and early growth showed exceptional vigor. Even when I slightly mismanaged watering, plants bounced back. Branching remained balanced, and overall structure was compact. Flowering occurred exactly as expected, finishing within the anticipated timeframe. This strain taught me patience and rewarded me with strong, uniform growth, making the entire cycle educational, low-stress, and satisfying for a beginner grower like myself.

This was my fourth grow and Sour Amnesia Auto was by far the most visually rewarding of the four. The pale purple and lavender coloring during flowering with the bright orange pistils and glistening trichomes is genuinely stunning. The harvested nugs maintain that visual quality and the sweet sour citrus diesel aroma deepens beautifully through the cure. Energizing uplifting and sociable effects with a productive focused quality that makes it ideal for mornings. 22% THC that hits clean and sativa in character. A genuinely impressive beginner accessible strain.

Grew Sour Amnesia Auto outdoors for the first time after growing it indoors twice before. The outdoor experience was equally rewarding. Planted in a warm sunny spot and the plants were healthy and vigorous all the way to the mid-October harvest. The visual development through late flower was as beautiful outdoors as it is indoors, those lavender and purple tones look incredible in natural light. Per plant yield was very generous. The sweet sour grapefruit lemon diesel flavor is consistent and excellent. Energizing social uplifting effects. A great strain in any environment.

I grew these alongside photos, and they stayed consistent in size and growth rate. Bushy, even, and finished as expected.

It’s hard to find Sativa vigor in an auto, but Growers Choice nailed it. These plants are athletes! Every seed germinated and the seedlings are incredibly robust and healthy. Five stars.
RobertAinsley Verified Buyer
Reminds me of the legendary vigor of the photoperiod version but with the convenience of an auto. The seeds arrived in four days. The germination rate was 100% and seedlings robust.

Sour Amnesia Auto is now a permanent part of my grow rotation. The combination of easy cultivation, hefty yields, stunning plant visuals and a genuinely enjoyable sweet sour citrus diesel flavor profile makes it one of the most complete beginner strains available. The terpinolene dominant terpene profile with myrcene and limonene underneath creates a woody floral citrus aroma that is complex and very appealing. Grew indoors with high quality lamps and LST throughout. Flowering finished at 58 days. The energizing productive sociable effects from 22% THC are perfect for any morning. Outstanding.
