Mimosa’s Genetic Background: Clementine x Purple Punch

So, how did our breeders go about creating the Mimosa strain, exactly? Well, it all started with selecting the appropriate parent genetics for the job!

In their quest to produce a progeny packed with citrus terpenes and THC, they decided to include Clementine in the mix. This descendant of the legendary Tangie and Lemon Skunk imparts an energising and cerebral high and blooms compact buds encased in dense layers of trichomes. High levels of the terpene terpinolene contribute to Clementine’s uplifting and energising effects while offering notes of citrus, pine, and sweetness.

Next up, our breeders chose to introduce Purple Punch into the equation. The offspring of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple, this indica-dominant hybrid passed down notes of grape and plum alongside mellow physical effects. High levels of the terpene beta-caryophyllene help to drive these sensations.

But this lineage doesn’t stop at Mimosa herself. Thanks to her outstanding qualities, breeders have used this variety to create numerous new strains, including:

• Purple Mimosa: Mimosa x Purple Punch
• Mimosa Cake: Mimosa x Wedding Cake
• Mimosa Dream: Mimosa x Blue Dream

Flavour, Aroma, and Effect of Mimosa

Out of all the cannabis strains available, Mimosa most closely resembles the flavours and aromas of Tropicana and Blue Dream. The primary terpenes found in these buds include:

• Limonene: This monoterpene provides flavours and aromas of lemon and orange zest and contributes uplifting effects.
• Beta-caryophyllene: This mellow terpene adds tastes of pepper and wood and exerts a physically relaxing effect.
• Myrcene: Offering flavours of earth, musk, and fruit, myrcene adds a stoning element to the high.
• Pinene: Responsible for the signature scent of pine forests, this terpene adds mental clarity to the Mimosa experience.

Terpenes aside, Mimosa also boasts a mighty THC content of 22%. Together, these phytochemicals converge to create an enjoyable recreational high, as well as a general sense of relief in therapeutic users.

Growing the Mimosa Cannabis Strain

Although the final product proves itself more than worthy, how does Mimosa perform in the grow room or garden? To put it simply, you’re in for an easy ride, great yields, and a lovely view. 

Mimosa weed grows great both indoors and outdoors. Regardless of the location, she’ll maintain a small and compact size; cultivators looking to keep a low profile love this cultivar for this very reason.

Indoors, Mimosa plants reach heights of 60–80 cm. You can either let them adopt their natural shape with one central cola, or top and perform LST to boost production and keep them slightly smaller. 

Such an easily manageable size makes Mimosa the perfect choice for cultivation in smaller grow tents and converted cupboards. Overall, you can expect a yield of 350–400 g/m² after a flowering time of 9–10 weeks.

Throughout the growing cycle, aim for these environmental variables at different stages for the best results:

• Seedling stage: Temperature 20–25°C | Humidity 65–70%
• Vegetative stage: Temperature 22–28°C | Humidity 40–70%
• Early flowering: Temperature 20–26°C | Humidity 40%
• Late flowering: Temperature 18–24°C | Humidity 30–40%

Mimosa performs equally well, if not better, outdoors, but requires a fairly long growing season to reach her full potential. Plants grow to slightly taller heights of 80–100 cm and produce up to 550 g/plant. 

Employ pruning and defoliation to create an even and aerated canopy—and to minimise the threat of mould, especially in rainy regions. Cultivating a polyculture using companion plants will also increase your chances of excellent results by attracting predatory insects that help to keep pests at bay.
