Cannabis Cup


Recommended Posts

You will need to register your entry by Sunday, 21 June, 2020. To enter, you will need to pay an entry fee of R500. This will get you a complimentary 3 pack of the President Seeds feminized seeds or a 6 pack of Garden Route Genetics regular seeds of your choice which are to be grown for your entry, rolling papers, and stickers, as well as a digital kit of elements to use on your social media. If you already have one of these breeders seeds or have already started growing them you can enter at no charge.

How many people competing you think they get? Might be a great solution to stock yourself up. ^^ If you put for 50k prices out and have 2kg weed send to you 😂 you made a killer income.. and lets face it, people send you their best 😉

Might be a great idea.. stop growing and just organize a Cannabis Cup each year to stock up again 😂

Waaait, so you need to use one of the two strains / seeds in order to enter?

 

"This will get you a complimentary 3 pack of the President Seeds feminized seeds or a 6 pack of Garden Route Genetics regular seeds of your choice which are to be grown for your entry"

In otherwords, it's similar to the grow offs we do on this forum, but you pay R500 and its only the end product they're interested in?

Good to see more of these comps coming out. The more the merrier!

Happy to be corrected but isn't a true cannabis cup a competition where a breeder submits new strains/cultivars they've been working on for judging? 

I've noticed a few entities running "Cannabis Cups" in SA and none have stuck true to how they run it overseas.

Has a proper cannabis cup been run in SA yet? I thinks it's time for us to get a proper cannabis cup going in SA where we find out who is breeding the best strains in the country. I reckon it will do wonders for developing the breeding industry in SA. They'll get exposure, validation of their genetics etc. Can't think of a better situation where we are relying on local breeders and not so much on the breeders from the US and Europe.

I like the sound of this... Maybe is something we can chat about setting up

Seems a bit dodgy honestly.
They even ask to send the bud in jars... For those living in other provinces, how would the logistics even work.

I wanted to enter, but it just seems a bit off.

Hosted a cup about 2007/08, there was one before that in Natal. I thought our Cannabis Cup was epic and it  did not go according to any international standards. We camped at a farm on the Thursday or Frday, about 25 guys, you had to know someone to get in, there were two categories, each entrant had to enter 100 grams. It was the 10 year anniversary of "Woodstock" at Riversands farm and "we" also had a stage there, reggae pumped till the early hours, no arrests, just one big raid happened. The final day Sunday,  and cleanup was chilled. I sat with a mate cleaning up our area after woodstock, putting the pieces back, smoking on cheese and pot of gold. Some dude drunk on LSD came waddling up, so sat in the rain and shared a joint with him. Great, hectic time, would not recommend for the faint of heart. Seriously beautiful venue, RiverSands Farm:

      South Africa’s Greatest Cannabis Growing Competition – Is Here!
      Zootly’s Cannabis Cup welcomes growers of all levels!
      June 2020, South Africa: Weed growers can now compete for the title of supreme, Mzansi cannabis cultivator – South Africa’s number one cannabis cup. The country’s best marijuana judges will be ruling on four criteria and most importantly, a grand first prize worth R12 100 will go to the winner! Sure, there’ll also be a trophy – because this is the first-ever Zootly’s Cannabis Cup – South Africa’s number one cannabis cup.
      President Seeds, the main sponsor of the event, believes the waiting is over and after two legal growing seasons, it is about time to see if South Africans have developed green fingers.
      “We’ve collaborated with President Seeds a few times, and their product is spectacular,” says Neil Liddell, Founder of the Haze Club, “It’s through collaborations like these that our company has been able to operate at the ragged edge of what is legally allowed.
      As a community we believe that growing cannabis opens so many potential avenues for South Africans.”
      The organisers of the event also realised that as everyone is home due to COVID-19, this makes it the perfect time to really hone in on their horticultural skills.
      Garden Route Genetics:- After searching the foot hills of South Africa for the very best local talent Zootly discovered Garden Route Genetics. By far the best local breeder and we are immensely proud to include them in Zootly’s Cannabis Cup.
      To make this an unbiased competition the whos-who of the local cannabis industry has been called in to judge.
      Dave and Quin from the DQ Central Show; Neil from The Haze Club; Craig and Leah from MyCityByNight; Dean and Andrew from Marijuana SA; Trenton and Mitch from Boogaloo Africa; Chris, Derek, and Dave, from Zootly. The adjudicators will be judging the best bud by the following criteria:
      Aesthetics: trichome development, resin production, bud density, and manicuring. The Smell: is it fragrant? Taste: we want to make sure that it is a tasty harvest. And finally, the effect, the strength, and feelings of the high. In the initial rounds of adjudication it will be strictly about the aesthetics and smell. Once the top 12 have been finalised, then the judges will have two weeks to sample the top buds. This will all be done through blind tasting, with each flower being given a number.
      Right, how does one enter the first Zootly’s Cannabis Cup – South Africa’s number one cannabis cup?
      You will need to register your entry by Sunday, 21 June, 2020. To enter, you will need to pay an entry fee of R500. This will get you a complimentary 3 pack of the President Seeds feminized seeds or a 6 pack of Garden Route Genetics regular seeds of your choice which are to be grown for your entry, rolling papers, and stickers, as well as a digital kit of elements to use on your social media. If you already have one of these breeders seeds or have already started growing them you can enter at no charge.
      Finally, once you’re ready, you’ll need to submit 12 grams of dried, cured, and manicured flowers in a sealed jar, with the President Seeds or Garden Route Genetics strain name and your name on it, by Saturday, 31 October, 2020.
      How you grow it is up to you! We know that this is indoor season, but we’ve seen miracles. So, perform one.
      For the winner of South Africa’s first Zootly’s Cannabis Cup – South Africa’s number one cannabis cup there’s a California Lightworks SolarXtreme 500 rig, worth R12 100, waiting for you. The runners up don’t go home empty handed, 2nd place gets a R2 500 voucher from Zootly, and 3rd place wins a R1 100 voucher from President Seeds.
      If you think you have a green finger and are capable of growing amazing cannabis, this is your moment to shine.
