Medical Seeds

Medical Seeds – Spanish seeds created with health in mind

Medical Seeds is a seed bank from Barcelona founded in the mid-2000s on the initiative of Javier Ruano. The founder started as a passionate cannabis grower in the 1990s, but growing interest in medical marijuana led him to create a company focused on strains with therapeutic properties. CannaConnection notes that the bank offers around 15 unique, carefully selected strains and emphasizes quality and genetic stability. Today, Medical Seeds is known across Europe, and its seeds are respected by both patients and recreational growers.

The bank’s most important feature is its strong focus on health-related properties. The strains offered contain different ratios of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, allowing users to tailor effects to their needs. The Medical Seeds catalog includes, among others, Channel + CBD (high CBD and moderate THC), Y Griega (a sativa with high THC and low CBD, used to help with pain), 1024 (a hybrid with a citrus-coffee aroma), Devil Fruit (a relaxing indica with a sweet taste), as well as the Recovery CBD line for those who want to avoid psychoactivity. Each seed batch is tested to ensure high germination rates and uniform phenotypes.

Medical Seeds works closely with local growers and medical institutions. This allows their strains to be continuously improved in terms of cannabinoid and terpene content. The company uses classic selection techniques to maintain the plants’ natural character—no genetic engineering is used. Increased controls and small production runs help maintain top quality, and the many positive patient reviews are the best proof of the effectiveness of their products.

How to grow Medical Seeds? Most strains are photoperiod plants that require 12 hours of darkness to enter flowering. Flowering time is usually 9–11 weeks. Plants respond well to Low Stress Training and Screen of Green, which can increase the number of tops. The catalog also includes a few faster-finishing autoflowers and a CBD line that flowers within 8 weeks. Recommended conditions are 20–26 °C and 40–50% humidity. As a medium, a mix of coco fiber and garden soil with added perlite works great; during flowering, increase potassium and phosphorus to improve resin production.

• Specialization: medicinal strains with different THC:CBD ratios.
