Not thats its not respected and appreciated...
But pull it out..put it on the table..and show off!
now, please bear with me because it has been asked that i not share details about the event. something about something something. alls i know is i am gonna walk the company line. your faith will be rewarded with sparkling truths when the light is green. but none of this i am about to type is false fiction or stretch of the truth its just how it is and how it was. AND HOW IT WILL BE HAHAHAHAHA
so..... and i hope you dont mind a story....
about the end of october i got a call from a friend asking if id be interested in submitting an entry for a contest/cup being held in.... north america. he had a friend who could get my submission entered. alls i had at the moment was some of my skunkdawg - outdoor. this was pot that i grew that had absolutely zero intention of it entering into anything except my lungs, a few homies' lungs around the way, and some of their friends' too.
id always wanted to enter a contest. i always thought itd be nice to see how my shit rated in a real legit actual contest with real cannasuer judges (i had already been planning to entering ic this year btw), because how cool is that? id get to see where i rate vs a class of growers in pursuit of being deemed the best.
so i double sealed up the last of my skunkdawg and off to north america it went.
my friends calls me after getting it submitted and he goes "dude i thought there wasnt going to be as many entries as have showed up... theres like 20 in the hybrid category with you". skunkdawg was submitted as a hybrid.
im just hoping at that point folks arent thinking im trying to kill them with my pot when they smoke it. and that i dont come in last place. im thinking the worst. because theres to many entries for me to place 5th out of 6 or 7 right hahahaha shit.... things got real real fast...... im not stupid i submitted outdoor pot for a contest. theres 20 dudes in my same category. so................
the judging i am told was done blind over a period of a few days. im not sure exactly how but i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't set up a lot like how the ic cup or any other legitimate cannabis contest/cup is where an entry is given a tag of SAMPLE A and people judge the sample on certain qualities and the scores of those qualities are summed up to create an overall total. The contest I entered the qualities judged were APPEARANCE, TASTE, and POTENCY, creating the OVERALL score.
i get a call from my friend. in the pit of my stomach im crying out PLEASE LET ME BE IN THE TOP 50% OF THE CLASS I DONT WANT TO BE IN THE BOTTOM im feeling not very confident. im making small talk. homeboy goes, "so you wanna know how you did or what?"
My smart ass, says "I guess. How bad was it?". I am pacing. But i was trying to sound cool and the gang. He says "guess how you did."
he wasn't even finished pronouncing the last "d" in "did" when i said "TOP 5" and stopped in my tracks. I was looking at the sunset. I figured wtf. Top 5.
My friend kind of laughs at me. "really? ok, check this out..." and he proceeds to tell me that he wasnt expecting the entries he saw, done how they were done. he was not expecting the turn out. the list he rolls out...
Legend OG
Guava Chem
Looompa Headband
East Coast Sour Diesel
Fire OG
Tahoe OG
Green Crack
some real fucking elite clones. and he said they were done RIGHT. all bomb....
I got the top score in potency - 9.5, in my category too. I havent seen the other score cards but wouldnt be surprised if i dropped the strongest shit at the contest. I DROPPED THE STRONGEST SHIT. word....
So... what finished 1-2-3....????
1. Legend OG - from what i understand angels were recruited to sing to the flowers and virgins harvested the buds onto sponges the shit was perfect. INDOOR PERFECTION. But it only got a 9.0 in potency hahahaha
2. Guave Chem - i dont know much about this cut but apparently it looks tastes and smoked exceptionally well. Done perfect as Guava Chem can be done inside is what I was told
3. Looompa Headband. Ive never really had loompa headband and from what i understand seeing it in a contest is similiar to seeing a unicorn in the wild. Done to perfection inside.
The theres 4th place overall. My Skunkdawg clone. Apparently the judges went apeshit over it. WTF is this?!? I was told many commented on the wonderful taste organically grown indoor pot has as they were enjoying my fox farms and canna fed (but apparently expertly flushed) buds Hahahahahahahaha. my OUTDOOR buds got rated 4th overall in a real contest by real cannasuer judges. whoa.
I called out top 5 and made my call. Did much better than initially anticipated. I guess I know what Im talking about huh? OUTDOOR. MAUI OUTDOOR!!!!!!
finishing below me and the skunkdawg were a list of elites i cant believe got left in the wake...
I mean Fire OG, ECSD... Green Crack is a fucking joke I better place above that shit hahahaha,,,, but there some real fucking plants right there folks the skunkdawg went up against. And again, all entries were done to the best they could be is what i was told.
Anyways, after the winnners/results are announced and folks are all talking people start talking about this that and the other my friend gets asled about the skunkdawg. So announces to everyone "hey, that skunkdawg, that came from Maui and that was grown outdoors!"
jaws dropped. "No way. I dont believe you"
"Yep. Theres pictures of it on the internet. Check it."
Apparently folks didnt like it what my friend was saying because, like how could some outdoor pot come into a contest against a fucking plethora of super ultra mega elite clones grown to their full potential by pros in pro rooms pumped full of co2 and big bad acs units and lights and front to back side to side and all that shit.
someone isnt just supposed to drop some outdoor into the mix and upset the curve. fuck that shit.
yeah. fuck that shit, right hahahahahaha. Hows that feel?
4th place out of 20 in a blind test, and being the ONLY outdoor entry...
Apparently i am not firing blanks when I say my shit is good and is better than most indoor pot. thats good to know. little bit of a confidence boos right? hahahaha
anyways, when i have more information to share with you all I will be sure to.
I need to smoke a bowl and sit in my jacuzzi
but first i want to let all of sdf know that i would in no way shape or form have been able to do anything i have done in said contest without you. the stuff ive learned, the people ive bonded with, the friends ill always have.... so thanks for hooking me up san diego. thanks for taking me in from oc when i was crawling around making my way. thanks for letting me be me.
and heres a pic....
the plant on the left is the skunkdawg that got me 4th place in the contest
