A Panel of judges. Those who enter would submit a sample bud to each judge. The winner is whoever has the most votes from the judges as to which is best bud.

OK we posted at the same time.

I'm good with that as a side thing, but would prefer not to eliminate folks because they don't want to ship product. I think for this to work the best the judging has to come down to pictures.

I've tried to do this locally where we would meet and even that fell apart

I'd like to hear more about how to do a cannabis cup, but here is my current thinking.

Entry page - sign up and pay the cost of shipping - seed cost is covered.
Grows can start at any time.
Grow and post your progress. You can just put everything in a grow journal and select specific photos to be submitted to the gallery.
The scroll bar with randomized entries is up on the main page now under the Patreon link. Might move that to the top if we don't get bandwidth complaints.
The pics in the scroll bar will link to your grow if voters want to see more.
We vote as a forum on the best pic***
Winners are awarded once a month.
Winners get the selected pic at the top of the forum for the next month.
We will have a discussion thread, as well as a voting only thread. Entries and votes only.
Continue this until everyone has had a chance to grow and cure the same strain, however they like.

**Best Pic
I say we leave that up to the voter. Could be a bud porn shot, a whole plant, focus on the scrog, whatever.

Maybe there is a way to do some cannabis cup like judging but I'm thinking that would limit participation, especially with international folks.

I think if there is anyway of judging quality of product it would be a better contest over plant appearance. Would be a difficult contest to pull off I’m sure given we are all scattered about.

I could potentially ship small jelly jar samples to 2 or 3 people but I doubt everyone would be willing to do that

Same here. Small 1/8 grove bags. Lots of ways but like you said not everyone is probably willing to.

Yeah I'm not to worked about shipping weed anymore. I ship 50 cartridges a month to NC for my sister in law and her husband cause they get charged 60 a pop down there and I can get them 10 for 200. I've been doing this for a while now.
I mark the box as essential oils

We could have a sub-contest of folks willing to ship product to a central judge(s). But judges can't compete. I'm out. Maybe the breeder we select could be a good arbitrary judge? If we had enough people willing to do that and have the cure done at the same time, it could merit it's own contest. Lots of moving parts there tho.

So what seeds are we running, what fits the most people? I figure something short for those with height limitations, and a fem seed to make it easy. I lean hard towards photo myself.

I think we can ship seeds for $5 or so in the US. Whatever the shipping is would be the entry fee. Probably send 3 seeds and grow 1 plant from them?

I was thinking an indica leaning feminized photoperiod myself.
If we go autos I'm out til next outdoor season. I can't waste indoor space on autos lol.

Make a central meeting place to meet(legal state),who ever shows up to enter is also a judge. Blind testing. If you can't make it mail it .if you can't mail it or show up you don't enter.

Stoneyluv · Jul 11, 2024

I'm ready!!!

Definitely all in if we can wait a minute I got about 8 weeks of flower left so I'd need atleast 5 or 6 weeks before I'm ready to pop anything

Also open to other strains just thinking of what I have

It might work if the schedule is somewhat flexible. Make the deadline JAN 1 2025 maybe?

Buzzking · Jul 12, 2024

I’m in! I’m just gearing up for my next grow and haven’t chosen strain yet. Keep me posted!

SpectrumFarms · Jul 12, 2024

I’ll give it the ol college try for sure.

steamroller · Jul 13, 2024

I'll just throw up maybe we grow from 2 strains from different breeders.

Let participants have a choice of which one of the two?

Maybe an auto option

Max · Jul 13, 2024

What about veg time.4-5 weeks should b plenty and a quick flowering strain for a fast turnaround so you could get 4-5 contests done in a yr

CookiesLikeWhoa · Jul 13, 2024

If you really wanna make everyone cry send out autos...

Jokes aside, having the breeder judge would be pretty cool. They know what the plant should be doing, would be awesome to see who can coax the best parts of the cultivar.

moe.red · Jul 13, 2024

OK I think I got the flexible contest framework figured out. I'm gonna work on the forum side a bit and see how best to do this.

I'd really like a slider gallery with current entrants at the top, only issue is the bandwidth goes up. Trying to figure out how to make that optional but it looks like it's going to take a customization. Time to smoke a bowl and go dig thru 14,000 buttons on this damn forum lol

But we have to choose specific seeds. I'm going to need to make a mass buy and dole these out. Can we all agree on 1 thing that we wouldn't mind taking up a grow slot in the next 3 or 4 months?

I will ask the breeder if they would be willing to do a blind judging for those that want a cannabis cup as well.

Here are some ideas of US based breeders

Captain Red Beard Seeds

All Female Seeds – Oldsogscoc

Feminized | IRIE GENETICS

The list is too huge to narrow down for my feeble brain. One of you strain wizards is gonna have to pick and get enough people to say yes to it.

Ready, go.

3 from CRB I thought sounded good

The Mother Of All Berries has my full attention and I'll be grabbing some regardless of what gets chosen lol.
I've had the original Maine Mother Of Berries, but never MOAB so I gotta try it lol.

Irie has mostly tall plants and 6-7 of those feminized have been discontinued.probably a few guys would struggle with height issues..I like some of his gear but..

I have Lemon Jeffery and The Maze from Irie in flower now, stretch is over and they're about 3 foot tall.

The Maze.

Lemon Jeffery looks very similar just wider.
