Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a indica dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 14-20% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Amsterdam high creeps in gently before wrapping the whole body in heavy relaxation — expect softened shoulders, slowed thoughts and a warm couch-lock that deepens as the session goes on. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. Because of these effects, Amsterdam is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Amsterdam has a mouth-filling diesel and lemon flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a lemon finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Amsterdam offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home in controlled indoor setups. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Amsterdam family — see Amsterdam Blue and Amsterdam Cheese for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
