Juanita la Lagrimosa

Juanita la Lagrimosa by Reggae Seeds is a mostly Sativa created by crossing Mexico/Afgana × Reina Madre. With a ratio of approximately 75% Sativa to 25% Indica, the strain has a distinctly Sativa-oriented character while combining it with comparatively fast and manageable development. Juanita la Lagrimosa is one of Reggae Seeds' best-known genetics and has received awards at various cannabis competitions.

When grown, Juanita la Lagrimosa develops a vigorous, well-branched and distinctly Sativa-influenced plant structure. One of its most interesting characteristics is its comparatively fast development for a genetic of this type. At the same time, the strain is considered straightforward to cultivate, making it suitable for less experienced growers who want to grow a more strongly Sativa-dominant genetic for the first time.

Genetically, Juanita la Lagrimosa combines different influences through Mexico/Afgana and Reina Madre. The Sativa side shapes its open and vigorous growth, while the Indica proportion brings additional balance to the plant structure. Depending on the phenotype and growing conditions, individual characteristics may be expressed to different degrees, but the pronounced Sativa character remains clearly recognisable.

Aromatically, Juanita la Lagrimosa displays a classically influenced profile. Fresh lemon and other citrus notes combine with spicy, distinctly Haze-influenced nuances and subtle earthy depth. This creates an intense citrus-Haze aroma that deliberately sets itself apart from modern Candy and dessert genetics. Juanita la Lagrimosa thus combines Mexico/Afgana and Reina Madre into a fast-developing mostly Sativa with a distinctive lemony-spicy Haze character.

• Reggae Seeds: Caribbean Vibes from Spain

Reggae Seeds kicked things off in Spain back in 2006. The idea was simple. Make good seeds for growers, collectors, and people who need them for medical reasons. The folks behind it have been into cannabis for a long time. Most of their life, really. They went looking for genetics that felt special and kept them close until they were ready to share. A lot of what they offer has plenty of CBD, which makes it interesting for people dealing with certain health problems. What’s more, all these varieties are very easy to grow, even for beginners.

Quick Facts

Location: Spain

Focus: CBD-rich, roots-inspired strains

Types Available: Regular and feminised seeds

Known For: Caribbean style genetics with a mellow touch

Works Well For: Anyone after natural, oldschool plants

They started by working with commercial strains and landraces from the Caribbean and other parts of the world. At first, they stuck to regular seeds, keeping things natural and avoiding chemical tweaks. Over time, with a lot of trial and error, they added feminised seeds too. If you like the idea of growing something with that roots feel, or you just want seeds that are not the same as everything else, they might be worth a look.
