Mimosa

Mimosa: Refreshingly Citrus

Mimosa seeds grow into pale green plants that will freshen up any grow room that surrounds them. With long leaves and buds, this medium to tall plant is as beautiful as it is potent. The buds have thin leaves sticking out all the way to the crown. Each bud is coated in a thick, dusty resin making it appear as if it were sprinkled in sweet sugar. When you have harvested the nuggets, you are left with dense forest green balls of tasty herb. The nuggets are dense and flavorful, but be warned, breaking them up by hand will leave you with resiny crystals on your fingertips and a scent of citrus and skunk floating through the air. Multiple Mimosa variants have taken home Cannabis Cup trophies year after year, making it an extremely well sought-after and popular lineage. Mimosa’s resume really speaks for itself within the cannabis community and should be talked about because of its legendary genetic profile. The refreshingly citrus strain is a fan favorite from seed to weed.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Make sure that you have at least an intermediate level of experience before taking on this delicious strain. Mimosa cannabis plants can be grown indoors or out, and this is one of the few strains that is said to thrive in cool, hot, and temperate climates. Mimosa plants are highly resistant to diseases, which makes them a bit easier for growers to tend to. Mimosa feminized cannabis seeds are extremely nutrient-hungry. These plants will soak up nutrients. In this case, it’s advised to either use a complex, nutrient-rich soil or to regularly add nutrients to your soil to ensure that the seeds grow healthy and to their full potential.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Mimosa cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-75 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18-20 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. Switching to a 12/12 light cycle will induce flowering and get you through your harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels should stay around 40-60% through the vegetative stage and drop to 40-50% during the flowering stage.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training and Sea of Green methods are the best training techniques for this strain. Trimming, clipping, and gently bending branches allow more light and air circulation to reach the lower branches of this plant.

Dominant Terpenes in Mimosa: Tropical Vibes

The Mimosa terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while caryophyllene and pinene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Known as the “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene produces an earthy taste and aroma in cannabis strains.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – Known for being spicy and peppery you can find caryophyllene in cinnamon as well as cannabis.
• Pinene: Pine Needles – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, this terpene gives cannabis a piney taste and aroma.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Mimosa

Cannabinoids play an important role in Mimosa seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That focused, energetic, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Mimosa strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 30%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the focused and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Mimosa cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Mimosa are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Mimosa strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
