Description
Project introduction and Overview:
Fugue State: A Mephisto twist on a modern classic.
Amnesia is a strain that’s been held in very high regard for a long time, and with good reason too! Great growth and high yielding.
We acquired several packs of Amnesia Haze Bx1 from Archive seeds back in 2015-2016 and without much delay got to popping them to see what we uncovered. We did this simultaneously against several amnesia cuts we’d ran from elite versions to the local cut… We made seeds with all using our Walter White as the pollen donor. When growing out the F1’s the most consistent and quality plants were emerging from the Archive cross, we made our selection and continued on from there.
Another reason for this project was that we felt our catalog was in need of more sativa options and we wanted to make an ultra high quality sativa strain to work more future sativas. Walter White has been a favorite in the Mephisto house for a long time. It also has a distinct aroma and profile that shared similarities with amnesia, so we felt they would be a match made in heaven and we weren’t wrong! Fast forward 2 years and we are finally ready to drop our Amnesia/Walter project: Fugue State. An Easter egg for the Breaking Bad fans out there when Walter had ‘amnesia’.
We’re really stoked with the growth pattern and standout quality of Fugue state. Our Walter White has added another level of resin to an already frost-laden specimen! For the sativa heads that want to get up to some day time mischief, this strain is the ticket. But also, buyer beware, don’t over indulge as she will put you on your ass. Enjoy!
Strain behavior and structure:
Fugue State is a sativa dominant strain that grows with nice vigor. She forms a branchy open structure quickly, and as she works through her cycle her leaves become more slender and fine with sharp serrations on the leaves. Despite the sativa traits she’s fast flowering and matures quickly, with bulk to boot… akin to something like C99. We’re really happy how she’s transferred into an autoflowering variety. She will veg/pre-flower and stretch to around day 35-40 from sprout and then transitions hard into flower. The flowers she produces are sizeable, with a compact density and adorned with white frost. She’s a lovely automatic spectacle to grow and witness, further developing on a daily basis. She grows with a sativa structure and medium sized internodal gaps, devoid of much foliage, her sparse leaves allow light to penetrate down and fill out lower flowers. Fugue State is an adaptable plant that lends well to different training methods.
Generally we’ve seen good mold and pest resistance, however if she grows a really dominant thick main cola, please take steps to ensure really good airflow and lower humidity as mold could be an issue in a really thick and dense main cola. Fugue state progresses very quickly over the last few weeks, she will transition from a lot of white pistils to done, quickly! Overall, Fugue State is a really nice variety. Not difficult to grow, productive, and produces high class flowers that satisfy the full spectrum of growers, She gives commercial yields just like the amnesia we started with.
