Mimosa

Mimosa is an aptly named offering from California’s Symbiotic Genetics. This sativa dominant (70/30) strain is perfect for a morning boost, and a balanced mixture of the best effects from each of its parents (Clementine x Purple Punch). Bright, cone-shaped buds with varying degrees of lavender hues, light green leaves with bright orange hairs dusted in trichomes, this strain is right at home within its sativa classification. Crisp citrus and fruit hit the nose immediately, with a grassy, herbal undertone that is magnified when burned. Fresh citrus and sour flavors with a smooth berry finish and slight herbaceousness give off the impression of a crisp, dry champagne.

Reported to be an effective mood enhancer, Mimosa is an ideal daytime strain. The first inhale will leave you feeling energized and motivated—perfect if you need to focus on accomplishing a set of tasks while also taking the edge off. Mimosa has shown great promise in its potential to help alleviate the symptoms of those with ADD/ADHD, or those suffering from PTSD or depression. For those who like to wake-and-bake, this is the strain for you.

Created by Northern California-based breeder Symbiotic Genetics, Mimosa is a sativa-dominant strain crossed between Purple Punch and Clementine. Awarded second place in the sativa category at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Santa Rosa, California, Mimosa has become a popular daytime-use strain, said to produce an energetic and uplifting high. As a relatively new strain that emerged in 2018, the seeds are reportedly difficult to source.

With citrus notes and earthy undertones, this strain smells as sweet as the fashionable and fruity brunch drink it’s named after. A medium-sized plant that is well-suited for either indoor or outdoor grows, the flowering period can take around nine weeks. Cultivators should expect spade-shaped, light-green colas that are coated with sugary resin and spotted with orange stigmas.
