Cannabis cup Winners and Runners Up LAST 5 YEARS

[Opus132]

I've tried most of those, with the exception of the 2012 winners, in their CC-winning shops in the Dam, and the strains from Barney's really stood out the most. I agree with you about the Liberty Haze. The Tangerine Dream was one of the most unique strains I tried and the Vanilla Kush was powerful and tasty. Of the mandatory (they advertise a lot in High Times) Greenhouse strains, the best I tried was the Hawaiian Snow. The Super Lemon Haze was a bit disappointing, although it was good, it just wasn't that great. Given all the great reviews, you might want to also try Voyagers' Bio SLH. Have a great time whenever you go!

Voyagers has chocolope on their new menu. They also have big buddha's cheese, which is similar to but (imho) better than LA Cheese. LA cheese is a LA Conf Mom and a Exodus cheese dad and BBC is cheese mom LA Confidential male.

Sorry but I think Big Buddha Cheese is Exodus Cheese x Afghan...

you're right Panog, but LA Confidential is "LA" Afghan indica X afghan indica- my brain must have just simplified.

And, L.A. cheese (the DNA version) actually used BBC not Cheese, I think...

Funnily enough the Bio Super Lemon Haze at voyagers is actually the Super Lemon Haze from the Greenhouse seedbank.

Just goes to show how important good growers are.

I had a pre rolled of the super lemon from greenhouse tuesday (my friend bought it, I generally don't bother with pre rolleds)

The price of the super lemon at greenhouse seems excessive IMO, the nicest super lemon I've had yet is 9 p/g at Boerejongons, I got a gram yesterday, had one joint on the walk back to the tram stop and the rest today. Not as nice as the liberty haze, but a close second or third in my mental list of favourete haze, cant tell if its better than the amnesia at sensemillia or not.

Looking forward to trying the super lemon bio at voyagers, heard lots of good things about it and will probs picks some up tuesday as well as TT

The flowerbomb kush is nice, but I'm gonna have to try more for a fair opinion on it. the liberty haze definatly stands out in my memory as a very very good haze, my new favourete haze.

Super silver and utopia hazes are mine

Super silver and utopia hazes are mine

I was looking at some notes I took from a trip several years ago, and next to Utopia Haze it says, "Lives up to its name!" Right next to it I wrote a great rave about a strain called Crimea Blue - I haven't seen that strain since.

Vanilla Kush is a constant disappointment for me - sometimes a good smell, rarely a very great taste, always average high. I like but have never loved Liberty Haze, Utopia Haze, G13 Haze or Chocolope. SLH and SSH both have the potential to be great but the stuff from the greenhouse pales in comparison to other places and are way overpriced - Voyagers' Bio SLH is one of my all time favourites. Hawaiian Snow I had in 2012 was pretty good. Shoreline I had at Voyagers pre-cup was absolutely brilliant but the green place one was nothing special. Tangerine Dream is one I can vouch for 100%. Love that stuff. The rest I've not tried.

All in all, my experience of the HTCC is that obviously certain places are massively overhyped but the strains are normally really good quality but not necessarily perfected by the places that put them up for awards.

2 visits during cup time then it dawned on me the emperor was indeed naked

There is no such thing as an exodus cheese dad. It's a cutting only strain. sorry for being pedantic

Yes you can buy exodus cheese seeds but they have to have been crossed with a different male, meaning its not actually exodus cheese. Maybe that is what they used in the la cheese?

No, they smash an exodus clone with nasty COLLOIDAL SILVER to get seeds, that's how they get the exodus seeds or seeds from clone only strains without crossing.

[sensismiler]

That's a very good point, Kermit. Hadn't even thought of that.

I think Greenhouse for example have sometimes good weed over the year... but u have to be really lucky...
In the cannabis cup week they will have really great weed for the judges... but when the cup is over they don´t sell the good shit anymore (maybe sometimes if u are lucky^^). Best example is their import hash the sharkberry cream... after the cup they don´t sell it anymore

Im my opinion thats bull shit when they don´t sell it over the rest of the year... so the best example of strains will be saved for the cup and after that...

ok maybe I am wrong because I never was at the Amsterdam Cup but in videos and so on you see that it is really good shit that Greenhouse sells when it´s cup time

sry for my bad english

[USbongLord]

I have 2 grams of shark berry cream right here,,,that's fuckin funny...put them in the freezer and just found em
