In this review, I’ll break down my full grow cycle experience — from seed to harvest — and provide tips for anyone looking to grow Mimosa from Blimburn Seeds. I’ll also cover flavor, aroma, potency, effects, yield, and best practices for maximizing this strain’s potential.

Germination & Vegetative Growth

I let the plant go about 65 days from germination until I flipped it to flower. Vegetative growth was slightly slower compared to other strains I’ve grown, but this isn’t uncommon for Sativa-leaning hybrids.


Flowering Time & Bud Development

My Mimosa pheno went 73 days in flower — slightly more than Blimburn’s estimated 8-10 week window.

Bud structure was typical for a Sativa hybrid:

  • Large, frosty colas
  • Not as dense as Indica-heavy strains
  • Exceptional trichome production

Despite overfeeding nutrients (more than I should’ve used), this strain handled the excess with no nutrient burn or lockout — a testament to its grower-friendly resilience.


Harvest & Drying Results

  • Total Time from Seed to Harvest: 141 days
  • Flowering Time: 73 days
  • Dry Time: 14 days (perfect slow dry environment)
  • Final Yield: 142 grams

Yield was impressive given the plant shared the space with another strain in a 2×4 tent. Mimosa responded well to my training methods and thrived in a half coco, half soil medium.


Flavor, Aroma & Terpene Profile

This was the standout feature of Mimosa from my grow.

Scent & Flavor Breakdown:

  • Strong lemon aroma — almost like a lemon Warhead without the sour bite.
  • Sweet citrus with undertones of orange and pine from its Clementine heritage.
  • Clean, bright exhale — an excellent candidate for rosin pressing or terp-heavy extracts.

If you’re growing for flavor, this strain delivers.


Effects & Potency

Mimosa has a THC range between 24% to 30% according to Blimburn — and while mine likely landed in the lower-mid range based on effects (or maybe my high tolerance), it was perfect for daytime use.

Effect Profile:

  • Clear-headed
  • Mild cerebral buzz
  • Creative boost
  • Relaxing but not overly sedating

Consume enough, and it transitions well into nighttime relaxation, but for most users, it’s an excellent wake-and-bake or afternoon strain.


Grower Takeaways — Pros & Cons of Mimosa

Final Verdict: Is Mimosa by Blimburn Seeds Worth Growing?
