That doesn’t sound like mimosa at all, it has a strong orange citrus type of flavor. This wasn’t from a clone was it?
Hard pass on "earthy"

No, not a clone. Gifted seed. I don't know that I'll pop any of the others he gave me. Although the pineapple express he gave me are beautiful. Lost a bunch of pics when the phone died. Let me see if I can find them in my previous posts.

Agreed/figuring that out. Tried out ~18 strains, reduced it to 8. Still cutting.... So far, Grape Ape is the fastest flowering plant I have (8 weeks). The others all finish in more like 10-11 weeks. Grape Ape isn't my most potent, but it yields pretty good and has dense buds. Its fast flowering time gives me more flexibility:
1) I can veg it for a relatively long time (~4 mos), like the others, and LST/super-crop/lollipop, the whole 9 yards ... on 3 shelves at same height (there's a gap between each shelf); and/or
2) I can veg Grape Ape for a short time, lollipop a main stalk/few branches, and bloom it in the gaps between shelves in the perpetual bloom setup. Idk, still figure out what works best for me ... variety of strains, variety of training techniques, variety of flowering times....
For me, new additions should improve potency and bag appeal, add unique funk, but have a shorter flowering time ... until my stable's all closer to 8 weeks (8-10). Currently, I'm gravitating toward a few things Dark Horse has out that are advertised as 8-10 weeks, one's 8 weeks (Hulkamania, Conjugal Visit, and Roid Rage) (currently out of stock...). Additionally, my stable includes elev8's Gorilla Cookies and I'm considering some of their more recent Gelato crosses to improve/complement my Gelato/Larry Bird genetics, though Gelato takes a while longer....
Idk, I'm enjoying the process!!!

Found them. First one was the "Mimosa" second was the pineapple express. The pineapple express is sweet, smooth and firm. The "Mimosa" is "earthy"
, rough, and firm. Dude dropped of the face of the earth so I haven't been able too ask what it was potentially crossed with or if he just told me the wrong damned name.Attachments

I have a Grape Ape going now too... I’ve tried a few grape strains in last few years that were real good - New Grape 48, Grape Dosi, Super Silver Ape. Those grape strains have their own thing going for them.
On “earthy”, I just described a NLHaze that way... and sweet. Not many modern strains have that hazy skunk earth scent with breeders chasing strong orange, lemon, etc.

If you want a unique flavor and high to add to your bullpen I’d suggest Jack Herer. It won’t be done in 8 weeks but the flavor and high have been great every time I’ve smoked it.

If it has pronounced orange or lemon terps , I damn near vomit. I like old school . I think it takes someone from the old (er) school to really dig earthy. Grape ape and GDP from @ 2010 ~2014 had good grapey flavor iirc .Santa cruz blue dream is pretty amazing imho . Deathstar , Bubba..also a couple of my fav's.

I didn't find any orange/citrus flavor in my mimosa either, all earthy (from symbiotic seeds). The pics are 2 phenos all earthy.

For getting these on an economic budget you could go to Mr Nice auctions.
You get NL, SK and Master kush in 18 packs from €12.50 up.
Also get his haze hybrids from €12.50+ staring bid.

Thank .
For me it was a bit disappointing not to find the orange pheno, I thought it was more common to find it, but they are not bad at all.

Full earthy smell, fresh soil. Like Moss.
Well the first Pic looks really nice but the plant it has nothing special, only the appearance, very low smell, almost inexistent, taste is not bad but nothing different, good smoke.
Second Pic it's much better, strong earthy smell, earthy taste, very good smoke .
Lovely plants to grow, easy, fast and beautiful flowers.

Trust me brotha I've been there...I've had some phenos that looked absolute killer and have no nose, like at all.

I’m all about earth and not at all about berries and fruit weed but maybe that’s just me. It’s either gotta be earthy or flowery like Slurricane or I don’t want it. Blueberry strain being the only exception or maybe this orange cookies Mac I have started. I hate fruity weed man. Weeds supposed to taste like weed, ie earth, to me! There’s a market for berries and fruit , cheese vibes, don’t get me wrong but that’s not my preferred profile!

Ya the sweet terp profile seems to be in a lot of crosses now. Thats why the wyeast sour secret I just ran was such and awesome surprise- had such a loud sour/gas nose (was the loudest sour I've grown in years)
