The biggest W to me from this years cup was having all my friends and the people I look up to smoke my weed (even if I had to corner them with a one hitter 😂) as far as the cup it is a bit of a popularity contest but there’s no way to stop a real grower from spotting his bud, it’s like can you spot one of your children in public in a crowd? I didn’t come top 10.. however I was top 20, but at the end of the day i can hang my hat on the fact that mine, and maybe 3-4 other peoples weed was damn near gone at the end of the 5 hour judging, because if your weed sucks people will not smoke the 💩 out of it 😹🤷🏽♂️💯
For a grow competition I always thought there should be three different genetics that everyone has to turn in then have a personal grow labeled "freestyle" for anyone to vote on. ✌️💚🌱
The sweet 16 of flower / breeders.. Takes place over 2 weeks.. The Cannbis Cruise!!!
I will back the statement that good lemon strains look suspiciously bunk, but once you smell and smoke it, you’re convinced!
Oh yeah convince me
@@ratpackcolorado I can't stand the taste of lemon/orange terps if its the dominate
I like orange terps. I think of the oranges we used to get local
Purple lemonade? lol
Thanks, best way to kick off my weekend🤙🍻💨
We had a lady Dr. come to our warehouse & just smelling to choose. I wish I could remember her name! She was testing terpenes for PTSD. Said she was able to test urine & match which terpenes worked best for each patient! I’ll try & get her name today. Great show yall❤
I agree with grambo about strain preferences
15-20 years ago when medical started in CA there were hash clubs. The popped up right when dabs first started. Eventually the state cracked down on the smoking. They had to become private clubs as smoking is not allowed in any public places in the state, even outdoors. I know here in ME they have similar laws that would stop any large scale smoking event. Although, obviously that’s a state thing, so maybe in the future they would be more open to changing that.
I think they should give ya a “competition box” and for example if they had 90-100 samples to have them only labeled as the #1, sealed and give them 30-60 ish days to sample and rank them. Have each sample 3.5 grams. this gives a person to sample multiple times if they aren’t greedy. The way they should suggest is have .25-1 gram samples and empty pallet/sober before consuming the strain and just like a wake-n-bake u def can know which strains are hitting more and more flavor. To have the lineage, who’s it’s from, labeling/branding just shouldn’t be involved in the judgment. the way it would be best done is have it open to sales to the clubs/event and the “judges” could buy the kit/judgment flower and the paperwork. Than this makes it so the judges are broad range, the venders and host are all paid and the corruption if publically listed who’s who is gone. there’s soo obvious corruption on these events I wouldn’t ever trust current ones on what’s top chosen as being top. It’s a ad for venders to say they are “best” but it’s really a ad cost
Than once final 10 are picked, have public and label as numbers . having names and who grew it = never works
Never been to any official weed event, but my weed gets heavy compliments when anyone asks for a pull while I’m out walking my roommates dogs.
I freaking love the shows!! Laugh my ass off!! Randy from upstate New york...
In the MN cup, everyone picked up their weed 30 days before the event.
That is not how they did it. They let judges pick up the edibles and beverages but flower was a select number of judges behind closed doors with samples being dropped off only a few days before the cup. I was going to submit a flower sample myself but they wanted 55Gs and I couldn't spare that at the time. The Legacy Cup had its own downfalls but was a success overall it seemed. It was only their 4th cup and we just got legal rec so hopefully with time, it'll get better.
@billwest2852 I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I just remembered seeing that you paid a certain amount to be a judge, and then you picked up something before the actual event itself. I thought that was the herb itself.
Recently had a batch of Dante's Inferno and it was incredible man. Like probably best tasting weed I've had this year. Can definitely see how it would win a competition. It's a Tiki Madman strain if anyone was curious.
The Show was hitting on all cylinders this week. It was fully crystallized & frostier than a snowman's taint.
It smelled absolutely amazing like a sasquatch who stepped in skunk shit while ripping a gasser.
It tasted even better than it smelled & the exhale was like being mugged by the terp burglar.
The show was virtually lumber free & perfectly trimmed with zero crows feet.
I look forward to our Saturday wake & bake's every week.
God Bless the DGC! 🗣🛌🌡💨
Thanks for the kind words uncle!
Grambo is killing it today
It delights me to no end that primates operating vehicles is one of Scotty's favorite tropes. 😅Same Page Club yo.
Not sure about logistics but you should do a judges choice where they send their entry a month before and ech judge gets a 1g sample so you can fully judge. The rest of the oz is put out on the day for the people to judge
Yall had me dying laughing with the Dutch shovel
Suggested for Cup Awards: Judge's Choice, ranked 1st-5th....with allowed prejudging, and People's Choice, shared ranking of top 10% of entries. (i.e. 90 strains = 9 People's Choice Awards) and a single "Best in Show" based on highest unweighted combined Judge's and People's Choice selection. Also suggested specific awards for Best Terpene Profile, Best High, Strongest Single Toke, Sourest Sour, Sweetest Sweet, Fruitiest Fruit, Smokiest Smoke, Top OG, and so on. Best new strain is also a thing maybe, so is Best IBL.
How do you possibly judge it without a clear head for each I feel like the effects will get skewed they blend into each other how would you it just seems like not the greatest system for judging it unless it's for taste
In my average experience in Pennsylvania zips are usually 100-200 these days. Decade or two ago maybe 300. Dispo can range from 150 to probably close to 3
Grouped by terps for sure. Check out what the emerald cup does , here are the categories- 1. Jacks and haze 2. Tropical & floral 3. Og’s and gas 4. Sweets and dreams 5. Dessert 6. Exotics
Don't leave a hat on the bed! Someone died of a hat being left on the bed in drugstore cowboys. Bad luck!!!
Yep!
Hopefully the creation I’m working on will be ready in time for the cup.
Anyone know what one needs to do to setup a competition?
Great show
Judge scottus 😂
House of Muggler ‘Fly Away’ cologne smells like grapefruit and that hint of walking in a veg room and is probably my favorite scents for spring summer - if I want to smell like burnt weed I’ll smoke a joint
Who doesn't remember scratch-n-sniff books ??? Make the "Big Book of Terps" a scratch-n-sniff with real terps, flavinoids, thiols and esters !!!
Great idea 💡 🔥
Looks don’t get ya high 😂
Karma Cup here in Ontario Canada we have a couple weeks to judge then the event happens after that.
Might I suggest blind taste tests. Then more or less reverse engineer,based on terpine profile after having experientially chosen a favorite or rank specimens.
I judged past HTCC’s (‘93,96 & 99 with 50,500 then 5000 other judges. The most counterproductive practice I noticed was tossing all varieties of samples into the same joint .
Anxiously watching and waiting for Brett’s nipple to say ‘bonjour’. 😂
group by flavor and setting;
this is my fruity morning smoke
this is my skunky night time smoke etc
flavor types being like: floral, funky/skunky, fruity, citrusy, cheesey, gas/diesel, etc
settings being when you smoke, for apatite, for pain , for sleep, for couch lock, for going out and doing stuff
I don’t know how you’re ever gonna judge that. So many participants. So many judges. So many opportunities to not even see a majority of the samples.
We would say , what color do you want youre fence painted? Green? You want me to paint the whole fence😂
1 day per flower, would tell u ,, so 90 day real judge befor the cup then just do a hang out and tast contest. on looks smell and size..lol just a idea lol so u could have a big 90 day contest , and that 1 day event would be based on the loooooks and smelll and size , so always find random judges that dont know the name of the flower its all based on just smoking the flower and not knowing anything behid it,,
Early ht cannabis cups- in Amsterdam- had judges get samples 2-3 weeks before, smoke yourself to narrow it, then the day of everyone comes together and tells their favorites
So if one person missed a good one , chances are not everyone did. CReam rises
What’s up with a dedicated autoflower cup, or at least having it as a subgroup with separate judging?!?
Sight is more important for men it seems. Ladies tend to lean heavier on a stronger sense of smell.
Smell is where it is at. Then is how it makes you feel. Looks is only important when you dont have access to other factors, such as when a person is overwhelmed by choices in a shop and not allowed a sniff test.
Dude it's getting cold in MN! My garage grow room has cement floors and I'm looking into a couple things and wondering about your thoughts. I want to get both my grow tents and water buckets off the floor, I'm concerned about both the dirt and water being in contact with the cement floor and getting too cold. I was considering using some of that pink insulation foam board you can get big sheets for pretty cheap from Menards/Home Depot and throwing it under my tents, thoughts? anything better/cheaper??? Thanks and cheers!
That foam insulation will work and if it's still too cold add a germination mat
I know this is 8 weeks ago but milk crates and plywood make it good and room for small heater maybe rap the bottom with material that's what I'd do running in garage good luck
I'd like to enter this dank strain of Gold Leaf I've been workin on, maybe we'll be there by the next DGC cup fingers crossed!!
The last Dragon 🐉 is 🔥🔥🔥
Grower fashion: Dude in his 30s, flat bill hat. Long chin beard with a Grey strip down the middle. Thick frame glasses
Brett's idea of allowing an entrant to promote their product in a competition is exactly what's wrong with our Federal Government. 😢
Most of today's weed sucks ... when was the last time you got blood shot eyes from just a few hits???
No one packs eye drops anymore, because no one's gets red eyes anymore! Lack of real THC!
I also miss the days when we smoked one j between six people and everyone got super stoned and it was a head high that was enjoyable. Not this in the couch shit we got today.
One hitters were real things 😂❤
If your judging then you don’t judge on you liking the flavor you judge on how the flavor sticks to your pallet, does it last a while on your pallet? Does the flavor last the whole bowl or joint? Or is it good up front and fade out?
truth, also I like to judge how clean it burns, is it burning your throat or is it not combusting.
@@BrotherRyan for sure that’s huge as well! Most cannabis flower is mids in all reality
Scotty is off. Banner is a true connoisseur. Smell,taste , effects and lastly looks.
How it's grown should not be a top question unless you want to hear recharge or grow dots to give them an award as a product promotion.
I’ve definitely had some strains i felt would make an amazing cologne! I rub my sticky fingers under my nose😂❤
How's it going DGC cheers everyone from WV..
Wow! Grambo is on fire today. Keep up the good jokes bro...great episode guys...
Appreciate it!! 🤘😁👍 -Grambo
In Michigan top shelf 400
Dude fireworks are popular in Canada because it used to be a British colony and halloween is a few days away from guy folks night which is a British holiday look up the origins of guy folks night in the uk you'll be surprised about the origins 😂
Spot on ShamWow
Coming at you cleappartra was some lass in America we say it all time over here 😂
90 she was
Our weed may be stronger now. But I call BS on 10 times stronger. Testing back in the day put the strongest weed (Maui Wowie) at about 11%. The way they tested was whole plant. Now they only test flower. I'd be very interested to see the numbers testing under the same method. My guess is 2-3 times stronger.
Halloween Headline: Man in BC wearing a Bacon suit eaten by a bear. OMG Lol... Peace! Kenabyss DGC 🇨🇦
Y'all share the bath?(robes :D) sweet water conservation
Biggest group wins lol. I've beat Dave with lab results and unbiased judges lol
A 1 day, loudest at the party, event is perfect for the DGC!
A lot of us being working folk unfortunately, can only afford a weekend trip to the cup. A long judging period only works for locals.
The ‘Pick Me’ thing was a turn off, let the herb speak for itself.
I would love it if they could claim theirs after voting has stopped. Then we can smoke with the grower and root for them when the winners are announced.
i just think this is going to be a great episode. what happens when the weed is great, and the judge is too high to call balls and strikes lol
No such thing
Another great show guys 💯👍👍👍👍👍
I’ll make this easy, GLUE WINS
Morning guys
@20:27 i died laughing
I wish there was something we could do in Indiana to get at least medical legalized.
If you ain't first, your last! Someone will always do whatever it takes to win. If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough! If there is no rule preventing something, then it is allowed.
Dirt under fingers is a sign of outdoor growers. Don't hate guys it isn't always crackhead to have some heady soil or hash under the nails. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🌶️
Comment, Like, SURPRISE!!!!
I don't think competitions are important or even needed . It (the flower) has gotten so good that like the Dude I need a day to sample one cultivar. Too much good weed I'm doing my best to deal with it.
OH THIS SHOULD BE GOOD........
Love the show! Let’s keep it going dgc!!
One love homies
This episode should be entitled "How Not To Judge a Cannabis Competition" aka DGC Cup...😮
I think they should have Different categories to judge on like gas category. Sweet, fruity funky ETC. And then go from there at the next d g c cop
Good idea. We're gonna dress nice guy Kenny up as the DGC Cop!
@@Your_Mailman_Grows_7121
Sure, here's a basic rule...
1) ONLY the moderator (Banner) should have knowledge of the sample entered and its provider. Only when anonymity is maintained between competitors and judges will a fair competition result
Sorry for not going more negative. There's always next time.
Bracketing
Oh hell yeah. Looks like the dress code was enforced.
Still working on getting a strain here going that has that stink from the 90s early 2000s that nasty skunk dank smell and bud structure sucks people breed that stuff out for sake of legality I have some seeds from back then but I have t gotten to them I have a catpissy straight up ammonia strain I’m going to use in a crossing sometime here cuz it’s got that deep dank reek but now I gotta find a nasty skunky strain I’ve tried so called skunk 1 super skunk all that no smells like I rememebr came from them I’m thinking of getting some kind of hash plant from Middle East folks I know some true mazar from Bahlki region and seeing what I can get out of it
90 different strains. One small puff X 90 = really stoned.
Im sorry, but that map of prices is way off. 345 in Oklahoma is nuts. 175 will get you fire
When I was in the business code was BBQ Sauce.
toga part again huh? lol... you guys need to do outdo
@Dude, the next trick is to teach them how to make work fun while still getting it done.
We used to call weed poop or safety.
Do regular seeds have less of a chance of Herming out due to light leaks?
no
Autoflowers can been grown in 24 hours of light from veg to flower to harvest.
Smell 1 st for me!
If you wanna get rid of a rat get a terrier or a cat
It’s a giant pile of snobbery and favoritism. All tests should be blind. In the end it’s the effects that matter. Ok, look, smell, and judge texture but smoking to get the effects is why we do it. No way to fairly test 90 buds in a day.
I want to know more about the Dude Grows Cup. Can any local grower enter?
Yep. Dgccup com 🙌
Den guten deutschen rübenkraut als bei Zucker plus den Dünger das ist mit Coco die beste Alternative und Bio biZz fifty fifty
when do i get to see the god damn sailboat????
🤣💯
It's a scooner
Banner been ok these days?
Pure Hemp air freshener 😂
The last thing anyone who smokes weed wants is a competition , do you ever hear an athlete failing a drugs test for cannabis as a performance enhancer. God made weed for people who don’t give a fuck who wins
Remember when they took Ross’s Gold medal in snowboarding?
v-town woot
The competition is the problem to begin with so what’s the point of worrying how to judge? Whole thing is a joke, the real shit doesn’t make it to these competitions because they are worthless and just not realistic, if you know you know
Illinois weed is trash so don’t waste your time coming to Illinois
Home grow all 50 states. F dea😮
☝️ Bag appeal don't seal the deal. Terpins and aroma first. Taste and flavor second. Buzz and how she smoked third. 💚🌱👌💨☕
Lets go
Only make deals with independent rats
lmaoi😂 clean finger nails meth head I tried and hole family my brother passed away doing meth I will always remember him scratching his neck I was 12 bro was 16 remember the good. mx rider back flips till the drugs killed him
