Summer Outdoor / Mimosa Auto

Leprechauns_Garden Week number 1️⃣ All seeds have germinated and have fought their way out of the soil. 🌱 I keep them slightly moist and will acclimate them to the outside temperature without a plastic dome starting tomorrow. 🌦️ In this sense Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚

Leprechauns_Garden Week number 2️⃣ 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 It rained heavily 🌧️ The Mimosa Lady has handled the bad weather much better and is currently the furthest along and fastest growing 🍹💪 So far, she's doing great! ☺️ Now there's plenty of sunshine ☀️ every day! In this sense, Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚

Leprechauns_Garden Hello dear Gromies out there! 👋 First of all, I want to apologize for not posting anything for the last 2–3 weeks. 🙈 I just had so much going on and didn't really have the time to take care of the ladies like I wanted to, nor to document everything properly. Now I've finally found a bit more time and of course, I want to bring you all up to date. 😊 I hope you forgive me for the little break and continue to stick around. Thank you so much! 💚 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 So, what else can I really say? 😄 The lady has literally exploded. She's definitely not a sensitive plant, but a real Mimosa! She's now about 1.30 meters tall, really nicely branched out, and currently in the first week of flowering. 🌸 She's definitely making me want more, and I'm curious to see how she develops further. 😊 She has withstood every storm 🌧️💨 and just kept going full throttle. A really strong lady! 💪👠 In that sense, Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚

Leprechauns_Garden 🌱 Small bi-weekly update from my ladies – somehow this rhythm seems to be settling in quite nicely. 😄 So let’s see what’s been happening in the last two weeks! 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 Yes, again – what can I say? 😄 The Mimosa is now in full bloom, looks really good, and is already producing some nice resin. ✨🌸 From the current weekly status, the buds could maybe be a little thicker. But honestly: West balcony, just a bit of soil, hardly any fertilizer so far, and overall really low effort – for that, I think she looks damn good. ☀️🌱 The first one or two pistils are already turning slightly brown, the side branches look great, and she has also started to slowly eat her lower fan leaves. 🍂 That’s why I won’t be giving any more additional nitrogen. If anything, there will only be a bit of Bloom and maybe some PK 13-14 or Green Sensation – we’ll see. So far, she’s doing really well even without extra fertilizer in her 20-liter pot. The lady is definitely standing strong! 💪🌱 And then that smell! 😍🍊 Truly incredible. She smells beautifully intense like orange – and anyone who knows bitter orange marmalade knows exactly what direction this is going. That slightly bitter, intense orange scent is just fantastic. 🍊🤤 I’m really curious to see what comes out in the end! 👀🌸 In this sense Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚

Leprechauns_Garden 🌱 A little bi-weekly update from my ladies – this time with a bit of vacation delay. 😄🏖️ I'm back refreshed and, as it looks, the ladies have made good use of the time as well. 🌱☀️ 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 The Mimosa is still standing tall! 😎🌱 She actually has the most side shoots of all the ladies and correspondingly a lot of beautiful colas that have developed upwards on the individual shoots. Plus, there's a really nice main cola – overall, just a great sight! 🌸✨ By now, she's also slowly starting to fade. 🍂 I can observe more and more leaves turning yellow from the bottom up and gradually being "eaten" away. So the transition into autumn has definitely begun. 🍁💚 In line with that, the trichomes are looking really good now. 🔍✨ They have developed a slightly consistently milky character, and here and there on the sugar leaves, you can already spot some amber-colored spots. She's really progressing beautifully! And the smell... my goodness! 😍🍊 Exactly as described by the breeder Zamnesia: classic orange zest, bitter orange, and somehow that scent of an Italian orange grove. 🇮🇹🍊🌿 Plus, there's this very slight spicy note – scent-wise, it's truly top-notch for me! Also, in her overall development, she's doing really well and seems to be impressed by nothing anymore. 💪🌱 She had a bit of a caterpillar visit too 🐛😅, but nowhere near the extent of the 🍑 Passion Fruitz 🍑. It obviously didn't bother her at all – she's just continuing to do her thing. One thing I've noticed, though: I feel like the nights on the west/southwest balcony are getting a bit too cold for her. 🌙 And because of that, she has actually started to purple. 💜 And honestly: It looks beautiful! 😍 This purple together with the trichomes, which shine really silvery on top, is currently a little highlight. 💜✨ This is just the beginning, and I'm extremely curious to see how the coloring will develop further. Smell is on point. 🍊 Flower quantity is on point. 🌸 Development is on point. 💚 I'm excited! And if the taste at the end is even close to what the smell promises right now, the Mimosa could actually give my Passion Fruitz some serious competition. 😄🍊 In this spirit Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚 P.S.: A little subtle advertising for a big German gardening supply manufacturer. 😇🌱 My wireless irrigation system without a power connection worked excellently and easily covered twelve days of pot watering. Thank you for that! 💚 Everyone can think for themselves who is meant. 😄

Leprechauns_Garden 🌿🍃🍂 Harvest Time 🍂🍃🌿 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 Today was the day: Harvest! ✂️😍 After a total of 14 weeks – from seed germination to today’s harvest day – the 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 has reached its destination. And honestly: What a lady! 🍊🌿 The morning's final trichome check was actually a bit surprising. 🔍✨ I think it could have been harvested maybe two or three days earlier. Especially in the upper part, it was already quite amber in some places. But whatever – in the end, for me, the mix makes the overall picture. Milky, nice amber, and here and there still a few clear trichomes: It has everything. 😄 On the lower popcorn buds, you can expect to find even more clear to milky trichomes, while some older sugar leaves on top are already quite advanced. It’s actually a really nice natural distribution of the different ripening stages. And its growth was impressive anyway. 🌱 It formed an incredible number of side shoots – really almost textbook cannabis growth. Plus, a brutal main cola and more flower clusters everywhere. It feels like it made the most of the available pot and soil volume of all the ladies. 💪🌿 Just a reminder: This all took place on a west-facing balcony. In the last two weeks, there were about 6–8 hours of direct sun ☀️, before that in the height of summer, it was sometimes about 10–12 hours daily. It was grown in a 20-liter pot with my self-reconditioned old BioBizz grow soil – although not much of the original soil was left by now. 😄 It was amended with garden compost, worm humus, dolomite lime, horn meal, and rock dust. Plus, there were earthworms ?, microbes, and algae. Then it was watered, left to sit for about a week, mixed again, turned, aerated, and finally supplemented with some perlite. Watering was mostly done with rainwater 🌧️💧 and, when none was available, with regular tap water. Only around the middle to end of flowering did I add a few Plagron products: Alga Bloom from the Natural line, as well as Power Buds, Green Sensation, and Sugar Royal. And even here, I only used the specified dosage twice. So the soil did a pretty big part of the work itself. 🌱 But back to the harvest! ✂️🍂 Today, the 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 was cut, wet-trimmed, and – this time I didn’t forget the scale! 😂 – weighed directly. The scale fluctuated a bit between about 178 and 188 g. In the end, it was around 180 g wet weight. ⚖️🌿 And considering that I really didn’t do much with her and she had to endure some pretty nasty bad weather phases, I find that incredibly impressive. For me, the 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 is also excellent for a Central European summer grow. ☀️🌧️ If you can provide her with even more direct sun, I’m pretty convinced that this genetics can really rock the place. 😄 She definitely handled bad weather excellently. However, towards the end, it got really autumnal. 🍂 The nighttime temperatures dropped to about 6–8 °C, and at some point, the lady started to beautifully purple. 💜 First dark violet, then almost black in some places – while a clear autumn fade set in. Visually, together with the silvery shining trichomes, it was really beautiful. 💜✨ And this morning, the trichome picture felt like it finally screamed: “Damn it – have you forgotten me? Harvest me already!” 😂✂️ Said and done. However, trimming kept us quite busy. 😅 We spent significantly longer than two hours on it. A small downside for me was the leaf-to-bud ratio. The buds were somewhat airier and more spread out and had relatively many individual, fine sugar leaves. So, we worked quite generously during the wet trim and preferred to remove a bit more than leave it. ✂️🌿 Still, in the end, these nearly 180 g wet ended up on the scale – so definitely a decent amount! And resin? My goodness. 😂✨ While cutting, it really stuck nicely. From the fresh sugar leaves and the material on my hands, almost a whole gram of beautiful, caramel-colored hand-charas was formed. ?✨ It looked really damn delicious – also visible in the pictures. The remaining visual impressions are, of course, again available in the pictures and videos. 📸🎥 It was incredibly fun to watch the 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 grow. And her smell is truly fantastic! 😍🍊 Almost like from the textbook or the breeder's description: Bitter orange, fresh orange zest, a whole citrus grove, and underneath that, this slightly fizzy, almost alcoholic undertone. 🍊🌿 Incredibly delicious. I’m extremely curious to see what happens after drying and curing with this strain. If this aroma develops nicely, it could become incredibly interesting in terms of flavor. 😍 Mimosa Automatic from Zamnesia Seeds – for me, this is a really great choice for the lazy grower on some shabby balcony. 😂🌱 Little effort, decent weight on the scale, and a scent that already makes you really look forward to the end result. Thank you, 🍹 Mimosa 🍹. It was awesome. Really awesome! 💚🍊 The final report on aroma, taste, and results will, of course, follow after drying and curing. In this sense Let IT grow 🌱🌿💚 Update: 23.09.2026 After nine days in the drying cabinet, the 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 is also going into the jar for curing today – along with a 62%-Boveda pack. 💚 Now I’m, of course, extremely curious about what the curing will bring out of her, because the first proper smoke test after about nine days of drying was already incredibly delicious. 😍🍊 And the aroma? It’s actually already surprisingly well developed and pretty much exactly in the direction described by the breeder for the Mimosa. 🍊 Very orangey, nice orange zest, and a bit of bitter orange. There’s also a slight floral undertone and a bit of a spritzy finish – a light gasoline/diesel touch, but for me, it leans more towards the sour side. In short: really delicious! 😄 The 🍹 Mimosa 🍹 also grew effortlessly in the outdoor grow on the west balcony and just did its thing. And now, after drying, it’s slowly showing what it actually has inside. Regarding the effect: Wow. 😂💚 The effect hit me pretty quickly and picked me up right away. However, the high is completely different than, for example, with the 🌿 Lavender 🌿. It starts very heady and intense, wrapping your perception in a little cotton cushion. ☁️😄 After that, it gets a bit chaotic for me – in a rather entertaining way. Because: It definitely makes me a bit scatterbrained. 😂 Maybe not the best strain if you want to tackle your to-do list, plan appointments, or make important calendar entries. Mentally, you float quite pleasantly around. Creative thoughts are abundant – they just like to make wild jumps. 😂 Holding onto a thought for a longer time can become a little challenge. But that’s exactly why I find it really nice for a relaxed summer afternoon: sitting outside in the garden ☀️🌿, doing a bit of cozy gardening, walking through the woods, or just enjoying the sun and letting thoughts wander wherever they want. And my personal accompaniment to that: a really tasty, not too sweet lemonade. 🍊🥤 Best something that doesn’t overpower the flavor of the Mimosa. Because this floral orange aroma when smoking is really too delicious to overshadow. Even while burning, it already makes a good impression. The ash is already turning nice and light – and I’m very curious to see what changes during the curing. Regarding the buds: This time, they have become significantly more typically “outdoor.” 🌿 As you can see in the photos, they are much looser and airier than, for example, with the Lavender. Visually and partly in terms of smell, it reminds me of what we used to jokingly call “German hedge.” 😂 So this somewhat weedy appearance and aroma that you know from classic outdoor cannabis. But: That doesn’t detract from the taste or effect at all. The buds are loose and not particularly compact, but overall they turned out really nice. And the final weight after drying, before curing: ⚖️ 38 g dry Considering that I practically invested no additional energy or care in this outdoor grow on the west balcony, I find that perfectly acceptable. 🌱💚 Regarding the trichome picture: After drying, I checked again. 🔍✨ Here too, the result looks almost textbook, but with a little more amber than with the Lavender. I would estimate it approximately like this: ✨ about 70% milky ? about 15–20% amber 💎 about 10% clear For me, this fits perfectly with the high I experienced during the first proper test. For an uncomplicated outdoor grow on the west balcony, without much care and without much effort, I could hardly wish for a better result. Really beautiful strain. 🍊🌿 And now it can first cure in peace. The next update will follow after curing – and I’m very curious to see how this floral bitter orange/zest aroma and the effect will develop further. 😍🍊💚
