Mandala Seeds started back in 2004 with Mike and Jasmin at the helm. They work only with strains that meet very strict quality checks, which gives growers a steady and trustworthy source for seeds. Every strain they release has some landrace genetics in the mix. That is because Mike and Jasmin spent years travelling through the Indian subcontinent and other regions during the 1980s and 1990s, collecting and building a gene pool that is hard to match.
