On the vibrant streets of Barcelona, our team at Growdiaries had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in Spannabis 2023 — an unforgettable event. For over twenty years, this remarkable event has brought together cannabis enthusiasts, professionals, and successful leading brands from around the world.
Spannabis is the largest cannabis event held every year in Europe. So much so that it has now become a part of the cannabis culture and industry. As an annual celebration where exhibitors unveil their technological advancements and cutting-edge products, and even hold workshops to teach you a lot about cannabis, it’s guaranteed that you will love every minute of it.
This year, the event was held in Barcelona. The festivities continued from the 10th to the 12th of March.
Spannabis goes beyond being just a cannabis event. If you’re looking for a fantastic experience where you meet growers and learn about how they grow their buds, this is the place to be. Of course, you’ll also get to meet celebs in the industry and find out what makes them tick.
Oh, did we mention that there are workshops where you can learn about the art of making hash? Plus, you get to discover amazing techniques for cultivating cannabis and groove to some incredible music. And, don’t forget that you’ll explore new products that probably haven’t even been released to the market yet!
Spannabis is also famous for its awards, but as a regular user, you will get to meet seedbanks with their new products and get more tips about growing cannabis. After all, breeders are incredibly knowledgeable, so this experience is worth its weight in gold. And, if you’re looking for jobs in the industry, this is a must-visit event.
What truly sets Spannabis apart is its ability to create a sense of camaraderie among all attendees. Not only will you share knowledge, but you also get freebies as tokens of friendship!
As a cannabis company, Growdiaries strives to foster a global community. Our platform offers an opportunity for growers from every corner of the world to share their cultivation experiences, exchange insights, and challenge the stigma associated with cannabis. In essence, our primary aim is to unite people who appreciate this magical plant.
GD is a place where there are no preconceived judgments and cannabis enthusiasts excitedly share their love for cannabis. We simply can’t thank you growers enough for supporting us throughout our journey.
To express our gratitude to you users and other companies that have been associated with us, we had the privilege of hosting an awards ceremony at Spannabis. As our tribute to acknowledging and celebrating excellence within the industry, we hoped to bring some color to the event. The awards ceremony this year was one of the highlights of the event with some associates in the cannabis world receiving well-deserved recognition.
As you growers know, we award companies based on your votes, and this year was no different. Here’s a quick highlight of the awards:
We started the ceremony with the Best Breeder 2023, and it was presented to none other than Royal Queen Seeds. Paul from RQS expressed gratitude towards the Growdiaries community emphasizing how much this award meant to them. He also hinted that things are going to get exciting in the next few months, so keep an eye out, guys!
We were super excited to announce the next category — the Best Cannabis Strain 2023. It was awarded to the one and only Sweet Seeds for their Sweet Zenzation XL Auto. Sweet Seeds has been consistently delivering amazing strains for years now, so this award was no surprise. This moment held great significance for Sweet Seeds since they were among the first breeders to join our community. The breeders described Sweet Zenzation XL Auto as a strain that's easy to grow even for beginners and provides abundant yields. Thanks to you guys for recognizing the incredible qualities of this fruity strain.
Advanced Nutrients took the award for the Best Cannabis Nutrients 2023 due to their outstanding performance in the industry. These nutrients are a favorite for not just home growers, but commercial operations as well.
The folks at Advanced Nutrients not only celebrated this recognition, but also expressed gratitude for the unwavering support, feedback, and hard work of growers from the GD community. Of course, they also attributed their success to their scientists who have been diligently working behind the scenes for 24 years.
Many growers love growing their precious plants in organic matter as nothing can beat the taste of juicy buds grown from the best Mother Nature has to offer. And since growers have voted for it, this recognition went to Plagron for their passionate contribution to the organic cannabis industry.
Plagron has made their presence felt in our community over the past two years they have been here. Thus, they knew a great deal about our community and shared their admiration, praising the enthusiastic growers who are always ready to help others.
Fastbuds has made quite an impression on the growers of our community. So, they won not one but two awards. The popular Gorilla Cookies Auto was crowned as the Best Autoflowering Strain. The breeders at Fastbuds expressed their gratitude and delight for their partnership with Growdiaries since the beginning. They have been with us since Day 1 and deserve all the adulation. They thanked Growdiaries for its incredible platform that allows them to engage with growers, share beautiful pictures, and showcase the appeal of their genetics.
The awards were not the highlight of the evening as we also had the chance to reconnect with friends and brands. However, we wanted to show our appreciation for their contribution in our own little way. So, what better way than acknowledging the grower’s ratings?
First, Sensi Seeds were overjoyed with their 8.5/10 rating but hoped that they would do even better the next time. Paradise Seeds also received an 8.5 and thanked the growers for all their love and support. We also met other brands including Ripper Seeds with a rating of 8.8, Grow Technology with 4.6, Bionova Premium Fertilizer with 4.4, Cannaboom with 4.5, Rare Dankness™ with 8.8, Medical Seeds with 8.7, DNA Genetics with 8.8, Mills Nutrients & Substrates with 4.7, Canna with 4.7, Hesi with 4.5, Delicious Seeds with 8.2, Spliff Seeds with 9.1, World of Seeds with 8.4, and Dutch Passion with 8.6. Every company was happy that the growers have noticed their effort to help make it easier to grow their favorite plant.
All in all, Spannabis 2023 wasn’t just any event. We attend many events but this one stood out for its celebration of cannabis. It helps people bind together and recognize breeders and other companies for their incredible efforts. We are positive that it will only help growers learn and thrive together.
We truly believe that every cannabis grower must attend Spannabis at least once in their lifetime to experience the many facets of this wonderful plant. If anything, the event serves as a statement that highlights the spirit of unity, knowledge, and the unwavering passion of many people who love cannabis. So we warmly invite everyone to join in on the celebration next time and become part of a community that knows no limits.
