The Canadian Cannabis Championship Comes to Grow Up Alberta 2023

Niagara, Ontario —

Canada’s top licensed producers will hash it out for the ultimate recognition of winning The Canadian Cannabis Championship at the Grow Up Conference in Alberta, taking place at the Edmonton Convention Centre from May 28-30, 2023.

Held on Sunday, May 28th, the original Canadian legal cannabis cup will be judged by respected cannabis industry connoisseurs and consumers alike. Health Canada licensed producers nationwide, legal flower and extract brands, cultivators and processors with current SKU listings are eligible to enter their best flower and punchy extracts by February 10th, in hopes of being named as one of the 12 finalists.

New this year, the 12 flower finalists along with the 2022 winner, Reef Organics, and a select micro will be packaged into a one-of-a-kind pre-roll pack featuring 14 x half gram joints, labelled with each finalist’s entry. Consumers will have the opportunity to buy the packs across Alberta ahead of the event, and vote online to determine which strain will take away the “2023 Fan Favourite” award.

Powered by Canadian Cannabis Exchange, the judging will take place live in the outdoor Grow Up Consumption Lounge in front of Grow Up attendees. The carefully selected judges will assess the products by four categories:

Appearance: trim quality, trichome formation, density, etc.

Aroma: terpenes, esters, aldehydes, etc.

Ash: colour, texture and the burn test, etc.

Enjoyment: the overall experience and effects of the product

Randy Rowe, President of Grow Up Conference, is excited to spotlight the makers and products bringing consistent, high-quality cannabis into the legal market. “It’s important to recognize the producers and processors putting in the hard work to provide quality products we enjoy, and we’re thrilled to be the first legal cannabis cup in Canada,” says Rowe. “We have a rich history of producing world-renowned cannabis events, and we know Alberta has a huge presence and influence on the industry. We can’t wait to see who comes out on top.”

Only products in the Canadian adult-use market are eligible for entry, and medical cannabis will not be considered for the awards at this time.

Those unable to make the awards can watch the judging sessions through a livestream via Grow Up Conference and Expo social media.

First place winners in each category of flower, concentrates and fan’s choice will receive $1,000 cash courtesy of Canadian Cannabis Exchange and Grow Up, as well as thousands of dollars in LED lighting packages provided by Aelius LED. First, second and third place winners for each category will be announced live on Tuesday, May 30th. The schedule for judging includes:

8 Breeders and Seed Banks with Desirable Strains for 2024

Every cannabis grower hopes to have a plentiful harvest full of top-shelf buds. One of the best ways to meet that goal is by planting quality genetics . But with so many breeders out there, it may be difficult to determine the best cannabis seed banks for your needs. Cannabis seeds are technically legal across the United States since they contain less than 0.3 percent THC, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. In the last six years, dozens of online seed banks have popped up vying for market share. Offering feminized cannabis seeds and autoflowering seeds in many of the most popular strains , there are endless genetics from which to choose. The best cannabis seeds for an operator may vary depending on whether a grow is indoors or outdoors, their preferred growing medium, and the ultimate goal for the crop. For example, are you hoping to extract rosin or sell smokable buds? These questions must be considered prior to selecting marijuana strains and, by proxy, a source for those genetics....

LAS VEGAS – Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA) (OTC: AUSAF) “AUSA”, “AUDACIOUS”, or the “Company), today announced the Company was awarded a provisional Cultivation license, as well as a provisional Manufacturing license in the state of New Jersey.

Residents in the Garden State voted to legalize recreational cannabis in 2020. Market insiders estimate the total New Jersey opportunity to approach U.S.$2 billion[1].

Will This Be Our Year?

In 1919, a ban on alcohol exposed a cultural divide between urban and rural America and led to a spike in organized crime. Federal, state, and local governments struggled to adapt to the abrupt change in reality that came to be known as Prohibition. The task of enforcing new regulations initially fell to the Internal Revenue Service (thus the term “revenuers” for federal agents who hunted moonshiners) before being passed to the Department of Justice (DOJ). While enforcement was concentrated in rural areas and small towns—where some folks made decent livings by operating homemade stills—urban dwellers continued to enjoy alcohol courtesy of bootleggers and speakeasies. With the end of Prohibition in 1933, after the broken bottles, blood, and dust finally settled, an article in The United States News (now U.S. News & World Report) attempted to give the citizenry an idea of how the path forward might look. The open season for liquor-control laws is at hand. With repeal on December ...
