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 energizing 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 energizing 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

Flavor, Aroma, and Effect of Mimosa

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

  • Limonene: This monoterpene provides flavors 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 flavors 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.

Buy Mimosa

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 2–3 ft. 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 12–14 oz/yd² 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 68–77°F | Humidity 65–70%
  • Vegetative stage: Temperature 72–79°F | Humidity 40–70%
  • Early flowering: Temperature 68–79°F | Humidity 40%
  • Late flowering: Temperature 65–75°F | 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 2.5–3.5 ft and produce up to 19.5 oz/plant.

Employ pruning and defoliation to create an even and aerated canopy—and to minimize the threat of mold, 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.

If you want to experience the best traits of the Mimosa weed strain in a fraction of the time, consider growing Mimosa Auto. The progeny of Mimosa and Orangeade Auto, this variety speeds through the entire growing cycle in just 9–10 weeks.

Mimosa Auto offers a streamlined way to enjoy THC levels of 22% and delicious fruity terpenes; you don’t even need to adjust the light cycle indoors to induce flowering. Here, you’ll enjoy a harvest of 12–14 oz/yd². Outdoors, Mimosa Auto thrives when grown alongside companion plants such as dill, borage, basil, and marigolds. Grow your plants in a sunny spot, and you’ll pull in 3–4.5 oz/plant.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website.
