Sativa Dominant · Symbiotic Genetics
Mimosa
Mimosa is the Symbiotic Genetics cross of Clementine and Purple Punch released by Bryan Diaz in 2017, a wakeup-cocktail-named hybrid that turned into the breeder's signature line. The terpene profile leans hard on the Clementine side — fresh orange juice on the inhale, with a sweet grape note on the back end from the Purple Punch parent. Plants finish in nine to ten weeks indoors with medium-density buds and orange-tinted pistils that match the flavor before the smell hits. The high is uplifting and clear, recommended as a morning or early-afternoon strain, with enough body relaxation to keep most users from feeling overstimulated.

Terpene profile
The aromatic compounds below shape how Mimosa smells, tastes, and ultimately feels in the body.
- dominant
Limonene
Uplifting citrus — typically associated with mood elevation and stress relief.
- secondary
Caryophyllene
Peppery and spicy — the only terpene that binds CB2 receptors, studied for anti-inflammatory action.
- secondary
Myrcene
Sedating, musky, herbal — commonly linked to couch-lock effects.
- minor
Pinene
Alert and pine-forward — associated with mental clarity and bronchodilation.

Lineage
Mimosa traces to Clementine × Purple Punch. The cross sits in the Clementine x Purple family, which influences both the terpene profile and the flowering structure described above.

Feed schedule for Mimosa
These EC and NPK targets are starting points calibrated for the strain's Sativa lean and moderate difficulty rating — not gospel. Drop 15-20% off any EC ceiling on your first run and let the plant tell you where it actually wants to feed.
Suggested feed schedule
- Late veg
- 1.2-1.4 EC
- Early flower
- 1.3-1.5 EC, NPK 2-2-3
- Mid flower
- 1.6-1.8 EC, NPK 1-3-4
- Late flower
- 1.4-1.6 EC
- Final week
- Plain pH-balanced water for the last 7-10 days; light flush if you ran nutrients on the higher end.

What to expect through the grow cycle
Mimosa is documented with a 10-week flower and a longer stretch phase typical of sativa-leaning hybrids. The visual below maps a documented 14-week cycle built from 4weeks of vegetative growth and the strain's published flowering window.
Published grow reports for Mimosa concentrate the most observational notes on the stretch window. This timeline is descriptive — it reflects what reports document, not a how-to. Actual week-to-week behaviour varies with phenotype, light intensity, pot size, and environment.
Phase details
- Veg (weeks 1-4)
- The documented vegetative period for Mimosa. Plants establish root structure, leaf canopy, and node count before flower triggering, with a moderate difficulty rating shaping how forgiving the early canopy work tends to be.
- Stretch (weeks 5-8)
- Mimosa is documented as having high stretch. Reports describe the plant roughly doubling in height during this phase as the sativa-leaning structure establishes its final flowering frame.
- Bud sites (weeks 9-10)
- Pre-flowers form at the nodes and calyxes begin to develop. Grow reports for Mimosanote this as the window where the canopy's eventual bud distribution becomes visible.
- Bud development (weeks 11-12)
- Flowers thicken and calyxes fatten through this phase. Documented Mimosa runs show the bulk of visible flower mass accumulating here, with resin production accelerating toward the end.
- Ripening (week 13)
- Trichomes transition from clear toward cloudy and amber. Reports for Mimosa describe the Limonene-led terpene profile maturing through this window, with aroma sharpening week over week.
- Final (week 14)
- Calyx swelling is documented as complete and the harvest window opens. Published Mimosa runs end here, within the 9-10 week flowering range reported by the breeder.

Common questions about Mimosa
Is Mimosa a morning strain?
Most dispensary copy lists it that way and the lab data supports it — limonene-dominant sativa-leaning hybrids typically produce the brightest head lift. Heavy doses can still tip into mild jitters in low-tolerance users.
Does Mimosa really taste like orange juice?
The dominant phenotype carries an unmistakable orange-juice note on the inhale that traces directly back to the Clementine parent. Off-phenos drift toward grape-citrus but still hold a clear orange marker.
