Mimosa

Mimosa produces beautiful cone-shaped green buds with bright orange pistils. The flowers are heavily coated with bright white trichomes that look like a delicate layer of fresh frost. Mimosa buds are small but densely packed.

Mimosa is a favorite of experienced growers but may be more difficult to grow for beginners. Mimosa is a heavy feeder, and to bring out the best of its cannabinoid and terpene profile, it is recommended to grow this cultivar in a nutrient-rich medium.

If growing in soil, a super soil mix is recommended but be careful not to over-feed these plants as they could still get nutrient burn. If you are growing in a soilless medium with liquid nutrients, it would be beneficial to boost the nitrogen content in the vegetative stage and then boost the phosphorus and potassium levels in the flowering period to promote the growth of the bud sites.

Mimosa is a large plant that does well both indoors and outdoors. It is known to be resistant to pests and diseases common to cannabis. Mimosa is a relatively consistent strain with little mention of various phenotypes. It responds well to “screen of green” (SCROG) training.

The SCROG method involves topping the plants in the early vegetative stage (removing the apical or center stem). This encourages the plant to produce more side shoots, eventually becoming colas (flowers). Once topped, the branches of the plants are gently weaved through support (usually a horizontal trellis) to maximize the amount of light reaching each potential bud site.

It will be important to top this plant if growing indoors as it can reach heights above 80 inches indoors. With good training, Mimosa will produce numerous well-developed colas and yield approximately 400 grams per square meter indoors and 500 grams outdoors.
