The holiday of love is looming on the horizon and although I may not be feeling the heartfelt feelings that Hallmark and the other holiday makers would like me to feel, love did creep into my weed strain choices this week.

The first strain of love was Strawberry Mimosa. Although I could not find any real data from my research, the appearance, aroma, taste and effects-all confirm to me that this strain is in all probability a cross between Strawberry Cough (a straight up sativa strain) and Mimosa (a sativa dominant hybrid-a cross between the popular strains Clementine and Purple Punch .)

My assumptions on its genetics were based on its appearance, taste, aroma and effects. First, this strain looks very similar to Strawberry Cough with tight dense buds. On the other hand, it gets its bright green and orange coloring from its other parent-Mimosa. Furthermore, the flavor of Strawberry Mimosa is the perfect blend of those two strains-its filled with berries, citrus and some earthiness, with big fold terpenes of limonene and beta-caryophyllene. Finally, this strain’s effects are just like its parents-instantly uplifting, focusing and a bit giggly too.

Overall to me this was just a delightful sativa strain, even if its genetics are unknown. Strawberry Mimosa is great for daytime use and will provide you with clear-headed relaxation, energizing mental stimulation, and motivation. All in all, this strain is a perfect way to start of your Valentine’s Day or any day that you want to fill your heart and mind with uplifted love.

The next strain of love that I choose was Cupid Cookies. Again, I could not find exact genetics on this strain but, it is my assumption that it is a cross between Cupid, slightly sativa dominant hybrid and Girl Scout Cookies, evenly balanced hybrid strain. And, as soon as I opened the container of this sticky sweet sativa, I couldn’t help but fall in love with every inch of this flower. From the bright, fiery orange hairs all the way to this strain’s sour cherry, berry and herbal scent, I knew that this strain was a keeper! It’s flavor is also filled with the sugary sweetness of Girl Scout Cookies and the lavender and berry flavors of the Cupid OG Strain.

This strain is really easy to smoke and it’s effects will leave you chilled but not checked out. You will feel the warmth in your heart that slowly creeps into your body with repeated ingestion, sort like the way that new love creeps into to your heart and spreads throughout your body. This strain will give you the creativity, euphoria and energy to help you make sure that all the Cupid’s Arrows that you send out will definitely strike the bulls eye. Happy Valentine’s Day. May you always be the biggest love in your life and find some good strains along the way that make you feel even better about yourself.
