Mimosa Champagne by Female Seeds

Mimosa Champagne seeds: fruit and cream cheese for the daytime

Mimosa Champagne is a feminized strain (it only produces female plants, the ones that grow buds) and a photoperiod one (it flowers when the days get shorter or when you cut the light hours). It is bred by Female Seeds, a Dutch breeder that specialises in feminized seeds. To make it, the breeder picked a phenotype (one of the variants that come out of the same batch of seeds) of Mimosa, the strain created by Symbiotic Genetics, that was very frosty with resin and strongly scented. They crossed it with a Champagne Kush male, which brings speed and vigour. At oaseeds we like it because it is not the usual couch plant: Female Seeds pitches it as a daytime companion, and its cream-cheese aroma sets it apart from other fruity strains.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Mimosa Champagne

The breeder describes an intense smell and taste, fruity with a creamy background that recalls cream cheese. According to the lab results Female Seeds quotes, two terpenes (the molecules that give the plant its smell and taste) stand out: limonene, with a citrus aroma, and linalool, which is more floral.

The effect is strong and long-lasting. It mixes an uplifting, lively high from its sativa side (the type of plant with a more mental, active effect) with a more sedative touch typical of indica (the type of plant with a more physical effect). Female Seeds says it tends to make people talkative and that the ride has its ups and downs, like a roller coaster. The breeder sums it up: it won't glue you to the couch and is meant as an everyday strain.

How to grow Mimosa Champagne indoors and outdoors

Indoors it grows to between 120 and 140 cm, and its flowering phase (when the plant builds its buds) lasts 9 to 10 weeks, with a yield of 450 to 550 g/m². Outdoors it reaches 150–250 cm, and Female Seeds talks about 450 to 1500 g per plant. The breeder gives no specific harvest month.

Thanks to its indica side it doesn't shoot up and branches little, so it works well with several plants close together in a small space. It forms medium to large buds, dense and cone-shaped, dark green with purple and blue shades, covered in white trichomes (the resin glands that sparkle on the buds).

The breeder's key tip: it is a hungry plant. In the growth phase it wants more nitrogen than usual, and in flowering it appreciates extra phosphorus and potassium to bring out its full aroma. Use a rich, healthy soil with all the essential nutrients.

Frequently asked questions about Mimosa Champagne

Is Mimosa Champagne indica or sativa?

It is a hybrid. According to Female Seeds, its short, lightly branched structure comes from the indica side, while the uplifting, chatty effect comes from the sativa side.

How long does Mimosa Champagne take to flower?

9 to 10 weeks indoors, according to the breeder. As a photoperiod strain, flowering starts when you switch to 12 hours of light indoors or, outdoors, when the days shorten at the end of summer.

How much does Mimosa Champagne yield?

450 to 550 g/m² indoors and 450 to 1500 g per plant outdoors, according to Female Seeds. To get near the top of that range you need a rich soil and a good dose of nutrients.

Can you grow Mimosa Champagne outdoors?

Yes. Female Seeds lists it as suitable for outdoors, where it reaches 150–250 cm. Keep in mind that its intense fruit and cheese smell becomes noticeable during flowering.
