Mimosa

Description from Growers Choice

Strain Info

Mimosa is a photoperiod feminized strain with a 70% Sativa/30% Indica profile. Originally bred in Sacramento, California, in 2017 by Michael and Vince, it has become known for energetic effects and a sweet citrus flavor that mirrors its lively aroma. THC reaches 30%, while CBD stays low, giving the experience a bright Sativa push with enough relaxation to smooth the edges. The wider Mimosa lineage has earned Cannabis Cup attention over the years, which explains why this strain carries such a polished reputation among citrus-loving cannabis fans.

The Genetic Background of Mimosa

Mimosa was created by pairing Clementine with Purple Punch. Clementine brings the citrus-forward personality and wake-and-bake brightness, while Purple Punch adds a softer physical layer beneath the Sativa lift. Together, these genetics create a strain with tropical sweetness, focused energy, and a resin-heavy finish that likes to cling to the fingers.

The Flowering Period of Mimosa

Mimosa flowers in 55-65 days. Outdoors, plants are generally ready between mid-to-late October. Indoors, switching to a 12/12 light cycle will trigger flowering, so experienced growers can keep the rhythm controlled from veg to harvest.

Mimosa: Expected Yields

Indoors, Mimosa can produce up to 1.5oz/ft² (450g/m²). Outdoors, plants yield up to 15.9oz (450g) per plant. The output is solid for a Sativa-dominant photoperiod strain, especially when feeding and canopy work are handled with care.

An Overview of the Effects of Mimosa

Mimosa is all about a focused, energetic rise that suits daytime use. The high has that espresso-shot character mentioned by fans, giving the mind a brisk nudge without the heavy shutdown associated with fuller Indica strains. Physical stimulation comes through as the buzz builds, while relaxation keeps the experience from feeling too sharp. It is a good fit for wake-and-bake sessions or creative work where you want momentum with a softer landing.

Mimosa Smell and Taste

Mimosa smells like citrus peel rubbed between the fingers, with tropical sweetness rising behind it. The flavor follows closely, bringing sweet citrus into a juicy brunch-beverage direction. After harvest, breaking up the dense forest-green buds can release a citrus-skunk scent that lingers in the air and makes subtlety a lost cause.

Tips for Growing Mimosa

Mimosa is a medium-height plant that suits intermediate growers. It can grow indoors or outdoors and may handle cool, hot, or temperate climates when conditions are dialed in.

• Keep temperatures around 68-75°F (20-24°C) for steady development.
• Maintain 40-60% humidity in veg, then reduce it to 40-50% in flowering.
• Feed generously with nutrient-rich soil or regular nutrient support.
• Use LST or Sea of Green to improve light reach through the canopy.
• Trim leaves that block airflow around developing bud sites.
