Damnesia Auto

Read Damnesia backwards from the harvest: up to 0.6 g/watt (dry, with 1000W HPS) under lights, 70-80 g/plant outdoors, with resin filling out towards 16% THC. This 16/84 cultivar spreads its weight gain across the whole of bloom instead of front-loading it the way a quick indica does. Cutting early out of nerves about the weather is the most expensive mistake made with plants of this shape. In Britain that means holding through late September and into October depending on your latitude, because the limonene-led profile only fills out in the closing fortnight.

Three stretches of the 7 weeks flowering (approx 9 weeks seed to harvest) of bloom decide whether you reach the top of this strain's range (up to 0.6 g/watt (dry, with 1000W HPS) indoors, 70-80 g/plant outdoors). The rest is maintenance.

The first ten days of flower. What the plant does during the stretch sets canopy height, and canopy height sets how evenly the light lands. It can add half again its height. Supercrop anything that breaks the line of the canopy inside the first week or you will spend the rest of bloom lighting one branch properly and five badly.

Weeks three to five. Limonene production climbs through here, and it responds to a day-night temperature gap of 6-8°C. British autumn nights hand that to outdoor growers for free from September; indoors you have to build it, at roughly 25-26°C lights-on and 18-20°C lights-off. Bloom feed goes potassium-heavy around EC 1.6-1.8.

The last ten to fourteen days. Stop feeding and run pH-corrected water. Check trichomes daily under a 60x loupe — cut at 5-10% amber to keep the clear, lifted character intact. Outdoors that lands between late September and mid-October across most of Britain, and the weather forecast should get a vote.

Flowering: 7 weeks flowering (approx 9 weeks seed to harvest). Indoor yield: up to 0.6 g/watt (dry, with 1000W HPS). Outdoor yield: 70-80 g/plant. Plant height: 80-120 cm. Rated intermediate difficulty.

Growers report happy, energetic, creative as the defining characteristics and our own notes agree. At 16% THC this sativa sits where most people find a workable window. Vaporised at 175-185°C the first effect is lift and mental energy, suited to work that benefits from it, a long walk, or an afternoon with company. The body stays light throughout, which makes it a genuine daytime option for anyone with a tolerance. The Limonene/Terpinolene pairing leaves a clean citrus finish that clears quickly.

Best suited to creative work, company, getting outdoors, and daytime use generally.

Primary: Limonene · Secondary: Terpinolene · Tertiary: Pinene. This combination turns up often in cultivars that win things, and it is usually the one growers comment on when a jar is opened for the first time after curing. Limonene anchors the aroma, terpinolene occupies the middle, and pinene sits behind both — which is the part that separates this strain from others sharing its primary terpene.

Damnesia suits growers with the basics in place. Understand pH, rough nutrient ratios and light cycles before you commit to it; it asks for competence rather than expertise. Autoflowering genetics take the light cycle out of the equation, which suits balcony growers, anyone working around British daylight hours, and anyone who wants the whole thing over quickly. The April to October season accommodates a bloom of 7 weeks flowering (approx 9 weeks seed to harvest) comfortably for outdoor growers across the country.
