Mimosa Seeds

Mimosa: Citrus Sunrise in a Cone

Wake up, sunshine! If you’re looking to buy Mimosa seeds in Australia, you’re about to kick off your mornings with a proper citrus spark. This award-winning Sativa-dominant hybrid is famous for her orange juice zing, champagne-smooth smoke, and a buzz that’ll have you laughing your way through the day. Think brunch in a cone — classy, zesty, and unforgettable.

Quick Stats

Mimosa is a Sativa-dominant hybrid (~70/30 Sativa/Indica) bred from Purple Punch × citrus lineage. She’s a THC heavyweight, typically ranging from 20–27%, with a little CBD <1%. Flowering time is 9–10 weeks indoors, with outdoor Aussie harvests in mid-to-late April. Yields sit around ~400–500 g/m² indoors and ~600 g/plant outdoors. Matty’s tip: “This is one of those strains that smells like you cracked a fresh orange. Don’t skip the carbon filter.”

The Legend

Launched by Symbiotic Genetics around 2017, Mimosa became the poster child for new-school flavour strains. She chalked up cup wins and global hype fast. The citrus lineage brings the sparkling orange burst; Purple Punch lends body, colour, and that creamy finish. Within a few seasons, Mimosa was a modern classic on every serious menu.

Flavour & Aroma

On the nose: Fresh orange peel and tropical zest — like cracking a cold OJ. On the tongue: Tangy citrus rush up front, tropical mid-notes, and a smooth, champagne-like finish courtesy of the Punch lineage.

Matty’s Take: “This one’s a bloody fruit salad in smoke form. Loud, juicy, and no one forgets their first Mimosa.”

Effects & What to Expect

First wave → Giggly energy and clear-headed focus — perfect for daytime sessions. Then it settles → A warm, relaxing body tingle balances the buzz without drag. Final vibe → Euphoric, social, uplifting. A top pick-me-up for creative missions or backyard hangs.

How I Grow It (Matty’s Way)

Skill Level: Intermediate.

Mimosa’s a pleasure to run, but her Sativa side loves to stretch. Topping and LST are non-negotiable if your ceiling’s tight. She thrives in SCROG — flatten the canopy and let those long colas fill every square. Purple Punch in the mix means she loves cool nights late flower: drop nights by 3–5 °C in the last 2–3 weeks to coax deep purple hues without muting terps. Outdoors in warm Aussie zones, give her full sun and good wind exposure — she’s sturdy but loves airflow.

Matty’s pH Know-How: “Keep that pH dialled at 6.1–6.5 in soil and 5.8–6.2 in coco/hydro. Stable pH = louder citrus.”

📅 Grow Log: Inside the Tent

Phase/Week	Key Action/Status	Matty’s Tip
Weeks 1–2 (Seedling)	Fast starter with citrusy stems.	Keep RH steady and light on the water — gentle start wins.
Weeks 3–4 (Veg)	Vigorous branching, wants space.	LST early and top once; guide the stretch or she’ll eat your headroom.
Weeks 5–6 (Early Flower)	Citrus funk ramps up.	Get the carbon filter on — she’s loud from week 4–5.
Weeks 7–9 (Bulk)	Bud set explodes, trichomes pile on.	She’s hungry here — bump EC gradually; light tip burn = riding the edge nicely.
Week 10 (Finish)	Orange terps peak as buds swell.	For max zest, harvest at mostly cloudy with ~10% amber. Cooler nights bring colour.

🔬 Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds)

• Terpenes: Limonene 0.8–1.6%, Linalool 0.2–0.5%, β-Caryophyllene 0.2–0.6%.
• Feeding: Medium-heavy feeder; EC ~1.6–2.0 in peak flower with steady Cal-Mag.
• Training: Topping + LST; SCROG recommended indoors for maximum yield.
• Climate: 24–28 °C day / 18–21 °C night; RH 50–55% mid-flower → 40% late.
• VPD Comfort Zone: ~1.0–1.2 kPa mid-flower, ~1.0 kPa late to keep resin pumping and avoid foxtails.
• Air Management: Smell is LOUD. Proper filter + extraction is non-negotiable.
• Red Flag: Overfeeding early mutes citrus. Go steady until bulk phase.

Matty’s Note: “She’s modern fire — all flavour and flash. Keep her steady, don’t drown her in nutes, and she’ll shine like the first drink at brunch.”
