The cups bullshit, whoever throws the most of money at it, be it bribes, samples, advertising or merchandise etc, will win. Just my thoughts, enjoy it if your there tho.
It is my understanding that for years Coffee Shops would represent an individual Breeder or Seed Company in the Cup but did not, in most cases, breed or sell seeds themselves; like Bull Dog, or Old Church, for example. Then the mega seed companies came along, like: Barneys Farm, Green House and Dampkring, (Kiwi Seeds). They not only breed and sell seeds, they have a chain of shops. 5 or 6 years ago Dampkring and Barneys represented other Breeders, like Soma, putting them more on an even level with all of the other shops. Now, it's obvious there is something influencing the Judging in favor of the big 3.
How well a particular strain is grown must, have at least, something to do with the outcome. The big companies can put a lot of time and money into growing and curing the best possible samples. Case and point being when Kiwi Seeds (Mount Cook) beat out D.N.As (OG-18) for the Indica Cup, a few years ago. One of the Breeders from Kiwi seeds said that he thought the reason they won the Indica Cup was because they had an unusually well grown sample of Mount Cook. We all know that some of the best strains out there can really vary in quality depending on how well that particular Bud is grown and cured!

That is probably correct, its only ever the minted shops that win shit coz they can afford the payment and can give away tons of gear.
Anyone grown any Bulldog strains, might order some and see what happens for a laugh. Be stunned if it was amazing but i doubt it.

Bad mouth the Bulldog all you want (and, well, I do too!) but they're about the ONLY shop open at 7:00am on a Sunday morning! And when I'm wandering around the Centrum hauling my suitcase after just arriving, their hasj, coffee and conversation was good enough for me...

Well, at least I agree with you about what a load the Cup is (no, I'm NOT going for the Cup and haven't been for the cup). But truthfully, I'd KILL for a Bulldog in Boston.
Just saying.

Yeah. If there was a Bulldog in either Boston or(even better) New Jersey I don't think I'd ever leave the northeastern US. Like EVER.

Yup, there was when I was there. You can smoke inside, just not purchase there.

i believe from the invite to a party organised by bulldog(i was invited by them on facebook)that they are possibly entering something called silver star haze,dont quote me on this but it looks pretty real to me,if they do try to 'buy' the prize doesnt that make a mockery of what the cup stands for!!!!!!!!!

people keep giving the bulldog a hardtime,has anbody been to the bulldog recently? they have really upped there game i think
the amnesia and cheese you get there is now as good as rest in the city
the bulldog people have also brought a couple of shops in the last year but not changed there name to bulldog
you could be smoking bulldog weed in a bulldog owend shop and not even know!!
it is still a expensive tourist trap but no were near as bad as used to be imo
