Red Mimosa XL Auto is the red-flowered, autoflowering take on Sweet Seeds’ Sweet Mimosa XL Auto (SWS94). Listed as variety SWS104 within The Red Family, it pairs big XL yields with colored flowers in about 85% of plants and a bouquet that is far from ordinary.
The genetics lean indica at 59.3% Indica, 39.2% Sativa and 1.5% Ruderalis, so the buds are dense, very compact and loaded with resin. Plants reach 60–130 cm (24–51 in) and finish about 8 weeks after germination.
Sweet orange from the original Mimosa meets savory notes of walnut, arugula and ground pepper, and the effect is lively and relaxed at the same time. For growers who want color, yield and an unusual flavor from one quick plant, it ticks every box.
Sweet Mimosa XL Auto x Red Strawberry Banana Auto
Sweet Seeds created Red Mimosa XL Auto by hybridizing and then stabilizing selected lines of Sweet Mimosa XL Auto and its red-flowered Red Strawberry Banana Auto (SWS90). The Mimosa side supplies the orange-citrus aroma, the vigor and the extra-large size, while Red Strawberry Banana Auto brings the red pigmentation and a compact, indica-style bud structure.
Stabilizing the cross means the color and the main traits show up reliably across a pack, with most plants turning red to purple in the second half of bloom.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The nose is intense and sweet, with juicy orange right up front. Then come the surprises: toasted walnut, peppery arugula and a grind of black pepper, a combination that reads more like a gourmet salad than a typical candy strain. On the palate the fruit leads and the nutty, spicy notes linger on the exhale.
THC is listed at 16–25% with about 0.1% CBD. The effect is upbeat and relaxing together: mood lifts, conversation flows and imagination opens up, while the body settles into an easy, comfortable state. It is a sociable strain that works well with friends, music or creative work.
Because THC can vary from plant to plant across that range, some phenotypes will hit noticeably harder than others.
Growing Red Mimosa XL Auto Indoors and Outdoors
As an autoflower it needs no light switch. Keep 18/6 or 20/4 from germination to harvest and the plant flowers on its own. At up to 130 cm (51 in) it is tall for an auto, so sow it straight into a 15–20 liter (4–5 gallon) container and leave headroom in the tent.
Indoors the breeder lists 450–550 g/m² (1.47–1.80 oz/ft²), among the higher figures in the Red Family. LST in weeks two and three spreads the canopy so the dense side buds fill out. Good airflow matters with such compact, resinous flowers, and slightly cooler nights in late bloom help bring out the color.
Outdoors, plants yield 50–160 g/plant (1.8–5.6 oz/plant). The 8-week cycle allows more than one crop per season in most US climates. Full sun and a rich, airy soil bring out the full size of the XL genetics.
