Mimosa Auto Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds
Mimosa Auto by Royal Queen Seeds takes the citrus-heavy Mimosa family and turns it into a Sativa-dominant autoflower with a little more going on than the name initially suggests.
The official cross is:
Mimosa × Orangeade Auto
Look one generation further back and you’ve got Clementine × Purple Punch behind the Mimosa parent.
That gives this automatic quite a mixture of influences: Clementine and its citrus character, the sweeter Purple Punch family, and Orangeade Auto bringing the autoflowering side into the equation.
Royal Queen Seeds lists the finished variety as 65% Sativa, 30% Indica and 5% Ruderalis, with THC reaching up to 21%.
At SeedMasters.com, the citrus profile is what stands out first. Orange, lemon and lime all appear in RQS’s fuller description, with a little Diesel underneath to stop Mimosa Auto becoming completely sweet.
Mimosa Meets Orangeade Auto
The original RQS Mimosa is a photoperiod created from:
Clementine × Purple Punch
For Mimosa Auto, Royal Queen Seeds crossed those genetics with Orangeade Auto.
It’s a pairing that makes sense from a flavour perspective.
Rather than introducing an automatic parent with a completely different identity, Orangeade Auto keeps things moving in the citrus direction.
That’s important because citrus is really the heart of Mimosa Auto.
Clementine already brings a strong connection with orange-flavoured genetics, and the addition of Orangeade Auto reinforces that side of the family.
The result isn’t simply an automatic strain carrying the Mimosa name.
There’s a clear link between the parentage and the character RQS describes in the finished genetics.
Orange, Lemon, Lime and Diesel
Royal Queen Seeds’ formal data sheet keeps the flavour description fairly simple:
Citrus · Diesel
The breeder’s fuller description breaks that citrus character down further into:
Orange · Lime · Lemon
That’s a much better picture of what Mimosa Auto is about.
Orange provides the sweeter, juicier side. Lemon and lime add something sharper, while Diesel sits underneath and gives the profile a more pungent finish.
At SeedMasters.com, we’d describe it as a mixture of fresh orange, lemon and lime with a light Diesel edge running through the background.
It’s bright and citrus-heavy without becoming one-dimensional.
And unlike plenty of current releases, there’s no need to invent candy, cake or creamy dessert notes to make the flavour sound more complicated than it actually is.
Citrus is the main event here.
Up to 21% THC
Royal Queen Seeds currently lists Mimosa Auto at:
Up to 21% THC
CBD is low.
That’s a respectable figure for an automatic, but again, we wouldn’t make the entire description about potency.
RQS describes its character as:
Clear · Uplifting
That fits nicely with the 65% Sativa genetic split and helps separate Mimosa Auto from some of the heavier Indica-dominant autos in the Royal Queen Seeds catalogue.
As always, the THC figure is a breeder-supplied maximum rather than a guaranteed result for every individual expression.
A Fast Version of the Mimosa Family
Royal Queen Seeds currently gives Mimosa Auto a flowering period of approximately:
50–55 days
The complete cycle is listed at:
65–70 days
It’s worth keeping those figures separate.
You’ll sometimes see Mimosa Auto described more generally as taking around ten weeks overall, but the current RQS data sheet is more precise at 65–70 days for the complete cycle.
Height is listed at approximately 100–150cm indoors and 120–160cm outdoors.
RQS gives production figures of 350–400g/m² indoors and approximately 80–130g per plant outdoors.
For SeedMasters.com customers, these figures are included purely as breeder-supplied reference information for identifying and comparing collectible cannabis genetics.
A Sativa-Dominant Automatic
One specification that shouldn’t get overlooked is the genetic balance:
65% Sativa · 30% Indica · 5% Ruderalis
A lot of autoflowering genetics lean more heavily towards Indica.
Mimosa Auto goes the other way.
That Sativa dominance also makes sense when you look back towards Clementine and the brighter citrus character associated with the Mimosa family.
Visually, RQS describes the variety as capable of producing substantial, resinous flowers with plenty of trichome coverage.
Some expressions can also show darker purple colouring, providing a visual reminder of the Purple Punch genetics sitting further back in the family tree.
An Award-Winning Auto
Mimosa Auto has also picked up some external recognition.
Royal Queen Seeds currently lists:
2nd Place – Best Autoflower – Autoflower Cup
That’s worth including because it’s an actual competition result rather than a breeder selecting one of its own products as a favourite.
We wouldn’t make the award the entire reason to choose Mimosa Auto, but it adds another interesting detail to the strain’s history.
Combined with the Clementine, Purple Punch and Orangeade Auto background, it gives this variety more of a story than simply being an automatic version of a popular photoperiod.

Our Take on Mimosa Auto
At SeedMasters.com, we’d concentrate on the citrus with this one.
It’s the thread that runs right through the genetics.
Start with Mimosa and you’ve got Clementine × Purple Punch.
RQS then takes that Mimosa and crosses it with Orangeade Auto.
So when the finished strain comes back with orange, lemon and lime character, it doesn’t feel like a tasting note added because it sounds good on a product page.
It makes sense.
We also like the fact that Mimosa Auto stays predominantly Sativa at 65%, rather than becoming much more Indica-heavy during the move to automatic genetics.
And while up to 21% THC is perfectly respectable, it’s not the bit we’d lead with.
For us, the combination of Mimosa × Orangeade Auto, Sativa-dominant genetics and that sharp orange-lemon-lime profile gives the strain a much clearer identity.
The 2nd Place Best Autoflower result is a nice addition too.
But ultimately, this is one we’d put in the SeedMasters.com collection for someone interested in modern American genetics with a proper citrus theme running through the family tree.
Not complicated.
Not overloaded with dessert terminology.
Just Mimosa, Orangeade and plenty of citrus.
