About Alchimia Grow Shop

Alchimiaweb SL was founded in 2001 in Figueres. A venture that arose from the need to contribute knowledge to a cannabis culture that had yet to be forged. For more than 20 years we have tried to follow the values that define us as a company and brand, focusing on the well-being of the client and the right to the responsible use of cannabis.

At present

We currently have more than 3,000 different varieties of cannabis, coming from more than 110 different seedbanks (seed breeders and sellers) distributed all over the world. Within this large number of seedbanks, Philosopher Seeds stands out, our own seedbank. It has been awarded numerous cups in important competitions such as the Spannabis Champions Cup and the Expogrow Cup among many others.

Here at Alchimia we endeavour to offer a dynamic and lively catalogue of products, fulfilling many of our customers' requests and following market trends. We are also pioneers in the sale of magic mushroom cakes, and we are always committed to bringing new genetics to the market. We work with the best local producers to obtain the best quality and freshness possible. We have also joined the CBD movement, offering all kinds of cosmetics, extractions, and THC-free flowers.

Certainly, one of our best recognised and reputed hallmarks is our customer service. Our great team is always ready to provide the maximum, everything necessary to ensure the well-being of our customers. We have managed to make Alchimia a friendly and approachable brand, easy to contact and a source of joy and smiles.

It is very important to emphasise our commitment to the environment. We are committed to be more energy efficient in our management and delivery, and to use as little paper as possible.

Alchimia's heart: mission, vision, and values

We are a leading company in the online sale of products for cannabis self-cultivation. We are committed to the well-being of people and their environment, with a special focus on customer service and innovation.

  • Employee development

  • Excellence in service
  • Competitiveness
  • Creativity
  • Collaboration
  • Sustainability

Activism: Gratitude to the environment

Alchimia is a company committed to the environment and the people who shape it. We strongly believe that personal and corporate development is only feasible if it generates synergy with our surroundings. In this context we include our physical environment, the Empordà, and the cannabis sector and culture in which we are immersed.

Alchimia Solidaria was born with the spirit of sharing with the environment part of what we have received from it, dedicating part of the profits to different projects. These are established in four different areas of action: Social Projects, Cannabis Projects, Cultural Projects, and Environmental Projects. In these projects, we have contributed and learned thanks to many people who dedicate their time and effort to improve the lives of others. Certainly, projects of great human value have been made possible for those who implemented them and for us.

Alchimia has also contributed to the establishment of the Gremio de Productos para el Autocultivo del Cánnabis (Cannabis Grow Shops Guild) - currently Gremio de la Industria del Cáñamo (Hemp Industry Guild). It is a non-profit organisation that started defending the interests of the Grow Shops in Catalonia and has now extended to the rest of Spain.

Our history

The dream of founding Alchimia started with an idea, which soon became a project. An inspiration that was conceived in Cànem Club, a cannabis tasting club. This project was created by David and Ramón, Alchimiaweb founding partners, together with other friends. It was a space where the growers of the area could meet, tasting and sharing each other's favourite varieties. It was in this place where the original broth of the current Alchimia was brewed.

On 28 April 2001, with a similar feeling to germinate a cannabis seed, a small shop was opened in Figueres city centre, very close to the Dalí museum. There we had our first sign, Alchimia GrowShop, from then on, a synonym of joy, illusion, and motivation.

By carefully nurturing this seed every day, and with a lot of effort and dedication, we managed to infuse our customers with the joy that characterises us and to create an atmosphere to which they would like to come back. This spirit has continued until now, and with it we have moved twice until our current headquarters, in 2007 in Vilamalla. Little by little, with hard work, we have turned it into our great base, following a major project in 2016, when we constructed a building using bio-construction techniques, which is the current home base of our offices.

In September 2003 we launched our website, one of the very first in the sector. This online Grow Shop made it possible for us to reach even more of our French friends, even though many were already visiting our shop in person. The idea of creating a website was to offer a dynamic, lively space that would adapt to the present times. We also believed it necessary to set up an online blog where we could answer the questions of our remote customers, as we were doing personally with the customers who could come to us personally. Also, in this blog, we published our online Cultivation Manual, one of the most extensive and elaborated in the sector.

How are we organised?

The Alchimia Family has evolved into what it is today, a great multidisciplinary team. A team organised in different departments, always looking for the maximum optimisation in the process and delivery time for our shipments to reach our customers, yet always keeping our sense of humour and enjoyment

.

All our departments can work in a fully coordinated way for the well-being of the end customer. We are constantly developing new knowledge and tools to help us do this. The Alchimia team is made up of computer engineers, SEO and digital marketing experts, internal and business logistics specialists, among other qualified professionals.

Certainly, thanks to our great background and a constant spirit of improvement, we have also built up a wide network of external collaborators. In this network we can find some of the most prominent specialists in the sector, in specific areas of action such as legality, cannabis topics or experts in digital marketing, among many others.

Alchimia, as a company, has the commitment to be up to date in the cannabis sector. We have many experts in the cannabis field who are constantly updated on the latest developments that may be of interest to our customers. We are not only active in our own circle, and we also observe neighbouring sectors within the horticulture field. There, we also learn about innovations and how we can apply them to our specific area. Our continuous learning makes it possible for our customers to find in our shop cannabis advisors who are always ready to help with any questions they may have.

Our cannabis experts also work together across the different departments. This means that they have a cannabis vision in all the company's processes, from editing, product catalogue management, digital marketing, customer service, purchasing and supplier relations and internal logistics, among others.

Here in this presentation, we tried to tell, and we hope with success, the spirit of Alchimia, a great group of friends who have been together for more than 20 years, aiming that everyone who comes across our company leaves with a smile on their face. And that goes for the customer, the supplier, or the carrier. A company that breathes good atmosphere, makes us all feel at ease, and always with the desire that you want to come back and repeat with us again and again.

Thanks for believing in us and for growing happiness with us during these 15 years
