Mimosa by Growing Up Ganja
Clementine × Purple Punch
Mimosa is a hybrid cultivar celebrated for its vibrant citrus aroma and uplifting effects. Developed to provide clear-headed energy, it offers a functional high suitable for daytime activities, balancing potency with a clean experience.
Appearance
Mimosa plants display sativa-dominant traits with moderate spacing between nodes and an open growth habit. The flowers are densely formed with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often developing vibrant colors ranging from lime green to lavender or plum, especially under cooler temperatures. The buds are typically compact yet airy, covered in a noticeable layer of resin.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Mimosa is characterized by a prominent fresh-squeezed orange and tangerine zest, often accompanied by sweet citrus soda notes. Underlying scents can include tropical fruits like mango and passion fruit, with hints of white grape. Upon closer inspection, a subtle peppery warmth from caryophyllene and soft floral or creamy undertones may be detected. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a bright, citrus-forward taste with sweet, fruity, and sometimes creamy nuances.
Effects
Mimosa is known for inducing an upbeat and functional high, promoting clear-headed energy and mood elevation. Consumers often experience a sense of happiness and creativity, making it a popular choice for daytime use when focus is desired. The effects are generally described as sativa-leaning, providing a motivational boost without significant sedation or fogginess.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Mimosa typically tests between 18–26% THC, with some variations. The dominant terpenes often include limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and myrcene, contributing to its distinct citrus aroma and balanced effects. Other terpenes like linalool and humulene may also be present. CBD levels are generally below 1%.
Growing
Mimosa plants generally exhibit good vigor and respond well to training, producing spear-shaped colas. They possess a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which can simplify the trimming process. The strain is noted for its aromatic intensity and the potential for colorful bracts under specific conditions. Proper drying and curing are important for preserving its terpene profile.
Origins & Lineage
Mimosa was developed by Growing Up Ganja and is widely understood to be a cross between Clementine and Purple Punch. This genetic combination aims to blend the energetic, citrus-forward qualities of Clementine with the sweet, dessert-like depth of Purple Punch. The resulting cultivar leans towards a sativa expression, emphasizing clarity and a bright terpene profile.
