The Emerald Cup, 2019 edition
2 days at the Emerald cup, the unmissable cannabis festival
It is under a magnificent sun, exceptional for this period of December, that the 16th annual competition and meeting of the best Californian growers began, in a very festive and smoky atmosphere.
The top weed breeders are here!
From the opening, the public rushes to the many stands of the most famous breeders such as Meangenefrommendocino, CSI Humboldt, Equilibrium Seeds, Emerald Mountains Legacy, Capulator… in order to hope to buy and complete their collection of seeds in ultra limited series with prices going up to more than 300$ for regular seeds …
Cherry West, Pina F4, Gelato 33 x Cherry Limeade, Banana Mac, Royal Kush 10, pure Royale x Oil Spill …
For cannabis growers…
The growers are also taking over in a crazy but very good child effervescence the numerous nurseries like Phinest Cannabis, Purple City Genetics which offer the best elite clones of the most sought-after varieties, Fatso, Forbidden Fruit, Mac1, Ice Cream Cake, Frosted Lemonade …
…and for weed lovers
Cannabis lovers make their market and buy the most beautiful flowers of the strains of the moment like Ice Cream Cake, Lava Cake, Runtz, Magma Cookies, Lemon Lava, Sundae Driver … and resin extracts in all possible forms, Hash , Drysift, Rosin, BubbleHash, Live resin, Shatter, Wax, Sauce, Diamonds …
Cannabis organic, biodynamic
Very enriching conferences on the subject of knowledge sharing, breeding work to improve genetic resistance, the importance of preserving ecosystems and the biodiversity of crops…
The regenerative culture movement is a pillar of the spirit of the Emerald Cup, the only 100% organic contest in the world. Jesse from Biovortex and Sunshine from Sunboldtgrown brilliantly animate these conferences and enthusiastically share their knowledge and lover.
Further on, in a large patio, we discover the area of the regenerative farm which exposes among other things the companion plants that live in symbiosis with cannabis and allow them to capture more nitrogen, for example Azola. Permaculture practices demonstrating how to build a culture soil.
Hash, resin, iceolator
At the booth of Swami and Nikki from Swamiselect, the famous duo of growers from the Mendocino region and emeritus judges at the Emerald Cup since its inception in 2003, Frenchy Cannoli, the famous hashishin perfumes the crowd with his 2020 version Hookah and deliciously sweet hashish.
Right in front of this booth, Mila the Queen of Hash who is present at all the cannabis events around the world is displaying her latest book: How I became the Queen of Hash. She invites us to sit down and we roll our last joint of our best Cherry Valley Dog iceolator. An emblematic character for our community who taught us in 2002 how to make hash with water and ice. A revelation for us at that time.
