Mimosa
About Mimosa
History & Genetics
The breeder Symbiotic Genetics turned Purple Punch and Clementine into the sativa-dominant (70/30) Mimosa strain in 2017. Since then, it has steadily been growing in popularity, not only with people who are a fan of its namesake drink but for anyone who can stomach a fruity cocktail that includes up to 27% THC.
Appearance, Aroma & Flavor
The plant’s buds grow small, dense, round, and olive-green. Dark amber hairs grow plentifully over the buds and the white trichomes shimmer. Mimosa is great for attracting some energy on those groggy mornings when you can’t get started (and real mimosas are unavailable). It has the same tropical citrus and berry feeling, sour yet sweet, but without the headache. In fact, you may even lose a headache you’ve already got when taking your cocktails in plant form.
Just be warned that many users, even experienced ones, report very dry mouth when using this strain. Take extra care to stay hydrated when enjoying your mimosa.
THC Content
Effects
The medicinal purposes of enjoying the Mimosa strain exceed those of real mimosas, we’re happy to report. The strain is known to be an expert at leveling out your mood and relieving stress. Many who suffer from ADD and ADHD love smoking Mimosa to calm them down and help them focus on daily tasks. A puff of Mimosa is also reported to help with depression, migraines, and a loss of appetite. As you inhale the woodsy, floral flavors mixed with herbs and berries, you’ll be able to think more clearly and work with more focus. This is why we recommend Mimosa as a morning strain, one that you can use as a pick-me-up without worrying about sedation or stress (just remember to keep water handy).
Mimosa's high begins as a boost of energy and clear-headedness, a true “lift” of your attention, your spirit, and your mental clarity. This comes with mental euphoria as your brain gets used to its new focus, letting your depression fade away and your work take over your full attention. Who knew that the secret to good work ethic was a mimosa?
Growing
This strain flowers in about 9 weeks. If you plan on growing it outside, it’s going to be ready for harvest in mid-October, sometimes even later.
Mimosa is not terribly difficult to grow if you want to harvest a mid-level THC content. But to get that coveted 27%, we recommend a high-nutrient plant food to encourage your strain to give you the goods. Mimosa is greedier than the average plant, nutritionally speaking, and has been known to need encouragement to reach its full potential.

Well, it is another strain my wife really seems to like. Couple puffs and all of a sudden I am doing dishes and housework. Excellent for us wake and bakers, very nice jumpstart to the day.

I took a few hits and came in and cleaned my master bedroom closet. I wasn't planning to ever clean the closet but it's perfect now! I love writing songs in the very early morning and this is the strain. Energy, creative, happy but if you over do it you'll end up having a nap, a very nice one!

Great strain but if I smoke it too late at night, I have trouble waking up the next morning and my productivity is affected (obviously after I use it but also the following day).
