What happens when you cross one of the prettiest cultivars in the world with one of the tastiest? You end up with Mimosa, of course. Discover the genetics, effects, and growing traits of this unique strain.
Mimosa ranks as one of the most eye-pleasing cultivars out there. Her dense, frosty buds feature patches of dark purple and dark green, alongside spatters of orange pistils.

In high doses she lands a stoning and physical high that melts the muscles and plunges users into a state of euphoric introversion. High levels of the earthy terpene myrcene contribute to these relaxing and dreamy effects. Dose in moderation, and you will feel uplifted, energetic and motivated.
The terpene profile of Mimosa is all about citrus fruit mixed with earthy tones, making for a refreshing and rich flavour bomb, ideal for smoking, vaping and adding to baked goods.

Strain FAQ
How are sour cannabis strains created?
Selective breeding selects strains with strong sour terpene profiles to create offspring with more sour flavours. Terpene formation, which affects the strain's taste and aroma, depends on soil pH and light exposure.
How do lighting requirements differ for short cannabis strains?
Short cannabis strains often require less intense lighting due to their compact size, which can make them more adaptable to varying indoor grow setups and reduce energy consumption.
How do strains ready for harvest by mid-October handle environmental stress?
These cannabis types are said to resist temperature and moisture changes well. Their toughness evolved to help them survive in their native, sometimes changing climates.
