About
Mimosa was bred in 2017 by Symbiotic Genetics, a California seed company founded by Michael and Vince. The strain was released in early 2018 and placed second in the Hybrid Flower category at the Northern California High Times Cannabis Cup within its first year on the market. The cross is Clementine and Purple Punch, a pairing that combines the Tangie-descended citrus lineage of Clementine with the Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG Purple Punch genetics. The breeder's stated goal was a strain with a sweet citrus terpene profile that also processes well for hash production. That is a more technical goal than most consumer-facing strain releases pursue, and it shows in the terpene data. Myrcene leads at 0.47%, with caryophyllene at 0.24%, pinene at 0.18%, and beta-pinene at 0.13%. That pinene presence is notable. When you stack pinene and beta-pinene together they account for about 0.31%, which is an unusual concentration for a modern Cookies-era hybrid and contributes the fresh, almost botanical edge that distinguishes Mimosa from sweeter candy strains. The flavor tags in our records are citrus, earthy, pine, sweet, and tropical. That five-note spread matches Symbiotic's design goal of creating a bright, citrus-forward strain without losing the Cookies-era depth underneath. Our database chemotype classification is "Blue (Myrcene-dominant)", which is the category for hybrids with myrcene leading and multiple secondary terpenes in close supporting positions rather than one clear runner-up. THC ranges between 18 and 25% across the samples in our records, firmly in the modern commercial-hybrid range. Reviewers describe the effects as euphoric, energetic, and creative, consistent with Mimosa's reputation as a daytime-functional hybrid despite its commercial position as a Purple Punch descendant.
Why does Mimosa have these effects?
Mimosa's effects are driven by its dominant myrcene (0.47%), which has sedative and muscle-relaxant properties, combined with caryophyllene (0.24%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
