There’s a story behind the genetics
Illuminati Lost Seeds is not just another seed bank. It’s a vision. A shared dream of passionate growers and genetic alchemists from multiple continents who aim to bring back not just plants, but states of consciousness, experiences and spiritual quality to the world – through cannabis.
The beginning of the story – three continents, one goal
The brand’s founders – M.J. Jacobs (Canada), Torrez Emanuel (Spain) and Chompoo Manasicha (Thailand) – may not have seemed connected at first glance, but they all felt the same thing: something essential is missing from today’s cannabis world.
M.J. Jacobs spent decades in Canada’s cold climates working on stable hybrids and realized that modern industry is producing more and more flavorless, generic strains.
Torrez Emanuel, on the coast near Barcelona, was literally chasing aromas – searching for terpene profiles that have now almost vanished.
Chompoo Manasicha, born in Bangkok, began reviving ancient Thai landrace genetics – in harmony with spiritual traditions and local knowledge.
Three different backgrounds – from a Canadian lab, a Spanish beach, and the Thai jungle – came together to rediscover what the world has forgotten: the true face of cannabis.
The dream comes alive – Grow Island and the genetic foundation
The idea quickly deepened, but it could not have become reality without the support of Grow Island.
This Austrian-Hungarian-rooted company has been active in the cannabis market for over 15 years. Not only did it provide financial backing to Illuminati Lost Seeds, it also contributed 65% of the genetic base: stable mother plants, rare strains and unique phenotype knowledge.
Grow Island played not just the role of an investor, but a nurturing mentor – providing expert support that allowed the brand to launch at a truly premium level.
Behind every genetic decision is someone who is deeply sensitive not only to plants but also to their effects. That person is Bartholomew Alen – a creative mind living with bipolar disorder and severe ADHD. From the very beginning, he helped the founders define the effect profiles of each strain. He didn’t select terpene compositions just for taste – but for how they shift the mind and influence the body–soul connection.
Alen’s sensory sensitivity, creative insight, and personal experience helped shape a lineup of strains that truly work – not just taste good.
The philosophy of Illuminati Lost Seeds
“It’s not about the strongest high. It’s about the deepest one – the one you’ll want to return to again and again.”
Illuminati Lost Seeds doesn’t compete on THC percentages and doesn’t try to copy trends. Instead, it follows its own path:
– It seeks out rare terpene profiles and tests spiritual–neurological effects.
– It creates hybrids that promote harmony – not only in the body, but also in the mind.
Each strain from the brand tells a story – and each seed can be a key to your inner world.
