Beyond The Brain Strain

Mandala Seeds: Heirloom Genetics for Your Growing Space During their extensive travels across the Indian subcontinent and other exotic countries renowned for their exceptional ganja, Mike and Jasmin, the future founders of Mandala Seeds, amassed an extraordinary collection of unique landrace strains. These strains were unlike anything commonly found on the European market during the 80s to mid-90s. Upon bringing these treasures back to Europe, they began crossing them with each other and with commercial Dutch varieties, sensing the immense potential they held. Their intuition proved correct, as the names of their strains now resonate with cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. Many Mandala strains have received multiple awards, and Hashberry and Satori were both honored as "Strain of the Year" by High Times magazine. Reviving Vitality and Diversity in the Seed Market Mandala strains possess not only extreme potency, unique effects, and complex flavors but also the natural vigor and resilience that seem to have been bred out, perhaps unintentionally, from commercial cannabis strains. Mike and Jasmin perceive this loss as a tragedy, having witnessed the destruction of natural cannabis habitats firsthand. They believe it is the collective responsibility of home growers worldwide to preserve the genetic strength and diversity of this plant for future generations. Fortunately, Mandala Seeds' collection has injected much-needed fresh DNA, revitalizing the market. Combining Science with Eco-Friendly Practices Established officially in 2004, Mandala Seeds benefits from Jasmin's background as a trained biologist with expertise in agriculture and horticulture. This scientific foundation has enabled the company to develop groundbreaking methods and practices in cannabis cultivation. Simultaneously, the founders deeply resent the profit-driven practices of modern capitalism, leading them to prioritize natural growing methods. At Mandala's facilities, an impressive 60% of their energy is derived from the sun, and they make every effort to use resources sparingly. As a grower, this means that Mandala strains are remarkably low-maintenance, requiring less powerful lighting, nutrient-rich soil, and water compared to many other varieties. Mandala Seeds' profound understanding of marijuana biology has even allowed them to reduce water uptake and evaporation by their plants. Consequently, their strains are undemanding and easy to cultivate. Mandala Seed Shop: Quality Takes Precedence Even today, the founders maintain a relatively small business operation because they believe expanding would compromise the quality of their offerings. They do what no one else does—limit the number of seeds produced by any single mother plant. As a result, Mandala's seeds are extra-large, packed with energy, and ready to thrive straight out of the package. There is no need for pre-soaking before planting. Despite the exceptional quality of their seeds and the genetics they carry, Mandala Seeds remains committed to keeping prices affordable. Mike and Jasmin firmly believe that growers of all income levels should have access to top-shelf cannabis. Mandala Seeds stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of its founders, offering heirloom genetics that captivate growers seeking exceptional quality, genetic diversity, and a commitment to sustainable cultivation practices.
