Would need another category I guess
Maybe thats something we may plan ahead and announce with 12-9 months advance. Maybe lower quantity than 1g. I would be happy to try myself when I gonna go back to growing. Seems like interesting method without expensive equipment. But thats my last years discovery, I'm late to the party.

The aged cobs smoke super smooth and are trippy af but they really shine when chewed thoroughly…
Would be interesting to see what judges would do if cobbed weed was part of the judge packs… it’s flower after all even though a very different kind…
Sure it’s great, and for me the look isn’t important, I just think it’s difficult to judge! Having in mind people like to throw phrases, compare one terp profil with another, apples with pears, I think it isn’t easy. I was laughing a lot reading the comments from last year, comparing Tropicana cookie with lemon tree , best zkittles ever on a zkittles cross and so on. Some impressed me though, their comments had been on point, like tasting parents and so on. That’s why I meant, respect the entries and don’t throw around the strain names you remember. Try to keep it neutral or write remembers me on, instead of it must be that and I don’t like it

The judged product is what matters, thats the idea behind the blind testing : ) You are more than welcome to give a try with your flower/rosin. We just excluded any solvent methods from the competition since couple of cups.
Excellent this is encouraging.
Perhaps its nostalgia but i often remember the best flavour flowers i consumed in the past where grown with manure and compost.
However i run a salt and organic hybrid system and constantly get excellent feedback so perhaps it is worth entering some material.
Thanks

Yes the „bag appeal“ is definitely not there with cobs 🤣🤣

Agree, it could be difficult to judge. At least it requires some brainstorm : )

For this year we are working on some sheet to help with the description part. With more sensory approach, for these that are interesting to try.

That’s great! I also don’t want to tell people what to do or how to judge, I would just like them to be aware that behind every entry is a face or whatever that put a lot of work in to put it on our judgetables and we want the people that enter to enter something again the years to come. So be nice and be fair, let your ego at home, enjoy the event and if you really think something is gross and not worth trying or you couldn’t finish it for whatever reason, there are ways to say that in a cultivated way (like cultivators haha) without offending people. Basically just don’t be a dick hahaha

Hopefully I can attend 🙏 the ICMAG 420 Growers and Breeders Cup this year - it's been many years since I've been to Barcelona - and don't have anyone there I can stay with (couch surf etc) for the duration of the 420 Cup - so have to figure out my travel plans from London - if I am to attend 😀 - Hopefully my health is good enough by April - as it is right now - and nothing stops me from going - to be with you all to celebrate this wonderful event - I started more than 20 years ago -
<fingers crossed>

Hope you are doing well @Gypsy Nirvana after your op, would be epic to see you at the cup this year in Barcelona! Bit of sun and tapas will sort you out!! 👍

@Londinium fingers crossed mate! Would you enter breeders or growers? Might have to change my judging categories if you’re going to be entering!!

Def will be a special one due to everyone we’ve lost recently. RIP @Sam_Skunkman 💚

Looking forward to seeing everyone again, not long now! 🙏

Peace

Hi Piff 🌊 Hope ya good Bruv ;) I think there was some discontent at me entering Growers(non-Pro) Cup and I want people to be happy ;) so I would probly go in the Breeders(Pro) and take on the Pro's and Seeed Co's this time tbh. I make my money other ways(Music,Coffee)I dont earn money from retail seeds or do public sales other than for charity etc.-But I have been breeding for over 3 decades for myself and my friends and to order and I have Donated and Sold many seeds/cuts privately to growers in Many countries over the years so I am happy go in the Breeders.

Maybe I can help you, if you are not related to a company or brand, you will participate in grower. If you are a seed vendor / collaborating , then you enter in breeder.

@Piff Rhys Jones Mate really looking forward to catch up 🔥🔥🔥
