Reggae Seeds

Reggae Seeds – pioneers of CBD genetics and a reggae philosophy

Reggae Seeds is a Spanish seed bank founded in 2006 by breeder Jimi, who previously crossed strains in Catalonia. The brand’s mission is to promote natural cultivation and develop CBD-rich varieties. The most famous is Juanita la Lagrimosa—a strain with a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio, created by crossing New York City Diesel with Reina Madre. The discovery of this phenotype in 2004 kicked off the era of medical CBD strains.

Philosophy

Reggae Seeds focuses on regular seeds and natural selection without chemical manipulation. Keeping both male and female plants ensures a healthy gene pool and phenotypic diversity. The idea is unity & diversity—harmony with nature and social cooperation—inspired by reggae culture. Seeds are produced organically, without synthetic pesticides or growth regulators, making plants more resilient and aromatic.

The story of Juanita

Legend has it that Jimi bought New York City Diesel seeds at Spannabis 2004, noticing an exceptional phenotype with a citrus-mango aroma. By crossing it with the Spanish Reina Madre, he obtained a plant with an unprecedented CBD-to-THC ratio. Over time, Juanita’s offspring entered the catalogs of banks such as CBD Crew and Dinafem, and numerous lab studies confirmed its therapeutic potential. This allowed Reggae Seeds to stay ahead of the trend for balanced varieties.

Strains and traits

Advantages of Reggae Seeds

• CBD pioneers: Juanita brought CBD-rich cannabis into the mainstream; her offspring continues the tradition and is used by breeders worldwide.

• Reggae culture: strain names and brand philosophy reference Jamaican roots, adding a unique vibe and promoting positive energy.

Cultivation tips

Reggae Seeds varieties grow best in a Mediterranean climate, but they also perform well in controlled indoor cultivation. Regular seeds require sexing around weeks 4–6. CBD-rich strains like Dancehall or Revolution flower for 9–11 weeks and yield 400–500 g/m². Sativas such as Spontanica need more space, but can reward the grower with up to 600 g per plant. Using organic nutrients and moderate watering supports full terpene development, responsible for the signature aroma.

Summary

Reggae Seeds combines a passion for music, nature, and cannabis. Thanks to them, the world discovered Juanita la Lagrimosa—the mother of CBD genetics. By choosing their seeds, you’re opting for authentic genetics, natural selection, and rich terpene profiles. It’s an ideal choice for those who value balance between relaxation and inspiration and want to experience the spirit of reggae in their grow.
