ince HIGH TIMES wasn’t coming back to the Netherlands in 2015 for the annual Cannabis Cup, the HomeGrown Cup organization felt there was a gap that needed to be filled. With the HomeGrown Cup, they lean on an old tradition of celebrating the annual agriculture harvests at the end of the season.
The HomeGrown Cup emphasizes the benefits of growing your own cannabis for personal use and sharing with friends; recreational, medical and therapeutic.
The HomeGrown Cup is strictly an invitational competition. Only competitors and organizers are permitted entry to the judging session, held at a secret location.
Vaporizers are on site (thanks to VapoShop), encouraging healthy cannabis use.
2015 saw the first edition of the HomeGrown Cup, leaning on an old tradition of celebrating the annual agriculture harvest at the end of the season.
The 2016 edition was held on December 17, 2016, in Eindhoven (the Netherlands).
And so we’re pleased to announce the second edition of the HomeGrown Cup happened last weekend and we are able to present you the results!
Congratulations to Organic Earth, Lady Sativa Genetics, Toermalijn Tilburg, Accelerator Seeds, Brother Extracts, Dutch Passion, New Balance Zwolle, Royal Queen Seeds, Amsterdam Genetics, Karma Genetics, Ambrosia Extracts and Nugg Run Extracts!
The HomeGrown Cup is the first cup in the world to publish the score counts online for complete transparancy. Download them here (link valid until December 25). Bedrocan, the only licensed producer for medicinal cannabis in the Netherlands, was entered anonymously and finished 20th of 27 entries in the indoor category. Another world first.
RECTIFICATION | We’ll be the first to admit mistakes and would like to offer complete transparency (how scores are counted). If you use the wetransfer link in the image above, you can use Excel and calculate the scores (for all categories) yourself. Also, you can calculate where you really ended up (outside of top 3). The link is available until December 25. Happy Holidays and thanks again for everything guys. It was an honor to host you lovely bunch <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f49a.png" alt="
