What is Spannabis?

Spannabis is Europe's leading cannabis expo, held each year in Spain. It brings together seed banks, breeders, innovators and enthusiasts from around the world to show the newest advances and the best genetics in the industry, alongside workshops and talks on breeding, cultivation and cannabis law.

One of its highlights is the awards ceremony, where the top strains of the year are recognized. A Spannabis win carries real weight: it earns international attention and often a jump in demand. For growers and buyers, it is also the place to spot new trends and pick up standout genetics.

The History and Evolution of Spannabis

Spannabis began in the early 2000s as a small, insider gathering just as Europe's attitude to cannabis started to shift. It grew fast: what began with Spanish breeders soon drew growers from across Europe, North America and beyond, mirroring cannabis' move toward wider acceptance and legalization.

Its competition became the main driver of that growth, pushing breeders to compete on potency, flavor and cultivation. Alongside it, Spannabis built a strong educational side, seminars on cultivation science, medicine and law, and in recent years has leaned into new tech and more sustainable growing.

Cultivation Tips for Award-Winning Seeds

Growing award-level cannabis comes down to the fundamentals done consistently. Pick the right setup, indoors for full control of light, temperature and humidity, or a mild, Mediterranean-style climate outdoors. Use rich, well-draining organic soil (worm castings, bat guano, compost), water so the medium stays lightly moist but never waterlogged, and feed a balanced, stage-appropriate nutrient mix without overdoing it, flushing a couple of weeks before harvest.

Indoors, quality LED or HPS lighting on a strict schedule (18/6 in veg, 12/12 to flower) keeps plants healthy, with temperatures around 20-30°C (68-86°F) and humidity dropping into flower to prevent mold. Training such as topping, LST or SCROG opens the canopy for bigger yields. For full walkthroughs, see our grow guides.
