Mimosa by United Cannabis Seeds
Clementine × Purple Punch
Mimosa is a sativa-dominant cultivar celebrated for its bright, citrus-forward profile and uplifting effects, making it suitable for daytime use. Its name reflects the vibrant tangerine and grapefruit notes reminiscent of the popular brunch cocktail.
Appearance
Mimosa plants typically exhibit a medium-tall stature with an open canopy and well-spaced nodes, characteristic of sativa influence. Flowers develop into dense, resinous buds with chunky calyxes, often appearing frosty due to abundant trichome coverage. Coloration ranges from lime to deep green, frequently accented by bright orange pistils. Some phenotypes may display purple and lavender hues when exposed to cooler temperatures late in flowering.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by intense citrus notes, particularly fresh tangerine and orange zest, layered with a subtle berry sweetness and grape candy undertones. Upon closer inspection or when broken apart, secondary scents of tropical nectar, vanilla cream, and faint herbal spice may emerge. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering bright tangerine soda and orange rind on the inhale, transitioning to grape-berry and vanilla cream with a peppery herb and floral finish on the exhale.
Effects
Mimosa is primarily known for its energetic and mentally clarifying effects, making it a popular choice for daytime consumption. It provides an upbeat, sparkling mental clarity paired with a gentle body lift, which is often described as functional and non-sedating. This profile is well-suited for creative endeavors, light physical activities, or social interactions.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar is characterized by a limonene-dominant terpene profile, contributing to its pronounced citrus aroma and uplifting effects. Other terpenes such as myrcene and caryophyllene are also present, adding complexity to the aroma and potentially contributing to the balanced effects. Mimosa typically tests high in THC, with levels ranging from 18-24%, while CBD content remains below 1%.
Growing
United Cannabis Seeds' Mimosa is a feminized variety that leans sativa, known for its vigor and relatively fast flowering time. It produces resinous flowers with good bag appeal. Proper canopy management is recommended due to its sativa-like structure, which can benefit airflow and mold resistance. The strain is noted for its potential to produce flavorful concentrates due to its abundant trichome production.
Origins & Lineage
Mimosa was developed by crossing Clementine, known for its strong citrus aroma and energetic effects, with Purple Punch, which contributes berry-grape sweetness and resin production. This pairing resulted in a cultivar that balances vibrant citrus notes with dessert-like undertones. United Cannabis Seeds offers a version that emphasizes the sativa characteristics, citrus drive, and reliable growth for cultivators.
