Mimosa x Chimera #3 Feminized Seeds by Sweet Seeds

Mimosa x Chimera #3 is a limited-edition feminized cannabis seed from Sweet Seeds that crosses the citrus Mimosa strain with the resin-heavy Chimera #3. The result is a photoperiod hybrid of 55% sativa and 45% indica, with a THC range the breeder gives as 24–30%, an indoor flowering time of 8–9 weeks and yields of 400–550g/m². It comes in packs of 5 feminized seeds.

In short: this is a Mimosa strain for growers who want orange-peel terpenes and a heavy coat of trichomes on a plant that finishes faster than most sativa-leaning hybrids. With THC at the top end of the seed catalogue, it is also a strain to approach with some respect.

What is the Mimosa x Chimera #3 strain?

Mimosa x Chimera #3 is a cross of two modern lines: Mimosa, itself a Clementine x Purple Punch hybrid, and Chimera #3, a cut selected for its resin output. Sweet Seeds' R+D+I team released it as a limited edition, and the pack says so on the front.

Each parent has a clear job. Mimosa brings the fruit: orange, tangerine and ripe citrus, plus the cheerful, sociable effect the Mimosa strain is known for among growers. Chimera #3 adds density and resin, and a creamy, slightly gassy depth to the aroma. Sweet Seeds describes the buds as dense and compact under a thick layer of trichomes, which also makes the plant a sensible pick for anyone who presses rosin or makes dry sift from the trim.

Why grow Mimosa x Chimera #3 feminized seeds

The main reason is speed for a sativa-leaning plant. Hybrids with 55% sativa or more often need ten weeks of flowering or longer; Mimosa x Chimera #3 finishes indoors in eight to nine. You get the bright citrus character of a Mimosa strain on a schedule closer to an indica.

The second reason is resin. A plant that puts this much trichome on its flowers gives you more to work with after harvest: the trim is worth keeping, and the buds have the sticky, glittering look that makes a jar worth opening.

The third is the five-pack. Feminized seeds mean you don't have to remove males, so all five seeds can go towards flowering plants, and the pack size gives you room to keep the best phenotype for a second run.

The downside: 24–30% THC is a lot. For context, a study of cannabis seized in the United States found that average THC rose from about 4% in 1995 to about 12% in 2014 (ElSohly et al., Biological Psychiatry, 2016). A strain bred to reach double that sits well above what most people are used to, so go easy with the first harvest. And because this is a limited edition, there is no guarantee the same seeds will be on the shelf next year.

Mimosa x Chimera #3 aroma, flavour and effect

Mimosa x Chimera #3 smells like the Mimosa side first: orange and tangerine, with ripe fruit behind them. Underneath sits something creamier and slightly spicy, and right at the end a hint of diesel from the Chimera #3 side. Open a jar and the citrus hits first; break a bud and the gas comes through.

Sweet Seeds describes the effect as cheerful, stimulating and creative, a strain for doing things and being around people rather than for the sofa. That fits its 55% sativa share. The high THC means a small amount goes a long way, so it is a better pick for an afternoon with friends than for a quiet evening alone if you're sensitive to strong sativas.

Mimosa x Chimera #3 vs the Mimosa autoflowers

Mimosa x Chimera #3 is the photoperiod Mimosa in the Sweet Seeds range; the two Mimosa XL strains are autoflowers. All three share Mimosa genetics, but they grow very differently.

Verdict: choose an autoflower if you want the quickest route from seed to jar and no light-schedule changes. Choose Mimosa x Chimera #3 if you want control: you decide how long it vegetates, you can top and train it into a full canopy, and the breeder puts its THC range higher. The best Mimosa strain for growers who want maximum resin and strength is Mimosa x Chimera #3, for three reasons: the highest THC range of the three, the Chimera #3 resin load, and a photoperiod cycle you can shape to your space.

How to grow Mimosa x Chimera #3 indoors and outdoors

Mimosa x Chimera #3 grows like a standard feminized photoperiod plant: vegetate under 18 hours of light, then switch to 12/12 to start flowering. Indoors the breeder expects 8–9 weeks of flowering; outdoors it finishes in autumn with 400–600g per plant.

1. Germinate between damp paper towels or straight into a moist starter plug at 20–24°C. Most seeds crack within 1–4 days.
2. Move seedlings to their final pots once the first true leaves are open.
3. Vegetate under 18/6 light until the canopy fills most of your space. A sativa-leaning plant still stretches after the switch, so leave headroom.
4. Switch to 12/12. Indoors, plan for 8–9 weeks of flowering.
5. Keep the air moving and the humidity down in the last three weeks: dense, resinous buds hold moisture, and that is where mould starts.
6. Harvest when most trichomes have turned cloudy, then dry slowly in a dark room before curing in jars.

One practical tip for dense, resinous strains like this one: airflow in the last weeks matters more than any additive. Point a fan across the canopy rather than straight at it, and thin out the lowest, shaded growth so air can move under the colas.
