Amnesia Haze x Sour Bubble is a cross of two classic strains of yesteryear. Amnesia Haze has been well-regarded over the years for its electric lemon and peppery Haze flavors and effects, and the bushy, sweet Bubblegum backcross work by B.O.G. Seeds was a pain-relieving favorite in the early medical community.
With three similar but unique selections from Weaving Genetics, I looked forward to smoking through each and tasting and feeling their unique characteristics. All phenotypes reviewed were similar in structure, with thin spear-shaped buds with medium density, blends of rich green buds obscured by a sheen of dense trichomes and tufts of burnt amber hairs. The #1 has a little purple, making it a standout in the visual department.
The #1 smells of sweet bubble gum tape mingled with floral and classic Haze notes in firm support.
The dry and cure are great, as the buds break down easily without dusting out. The sweeter, floral Haze notes are flavorful and persist through the exhale. The high comes on smoothly, it was zippy and uplifting, keeping me very clear-headed and alert. The #1 is a high-productivity strain for me.
The #3 pheno has less of an initial bubble gum taste, as those notes are more integrated into floral, herbal tea, solvent, and citrus notes. It provided a smooth smoke, like cool, vaporized woody incense. The high is also productive, like a half-caffeinated coffee.
The #8 smells mostly of sharp solvent-based wood cleaner Haze. Like the #3 sample, the Bubblegum profile is less pronounced. However, I could catch the Bubblegum sweetness more when I was further from the open jar. The high brought a little eye pressure and calm alertness, but less get-up-and-go than the #1. I also noted a distracted contemplative headspace, getting lost in my thoughts.
If you like smoking flavorful, uplifting examples of Haze hybrids, get the Bubblegum Haze phenos from Weaving Genetics. Take your time with each to taste them all at different times and different settings to find out which flavor and effect best elevate your day.
