[Note:] After a long deliberation, Zootly decided not to proceed with hosting another Cannabis Cup. We want to thank everyone who participated. Whether just following the events online, or entering!
Anyway! For those who are keen for a recap, please continue reading. Another year and more Zootly Cannabis Cup Winners!
That’s right! So who took the top spots for locally grown strains?
After all! Local is lekker…
Zootly’s Cannabis Cup Local Genetics!
Our third runner-up in local genetics was Sour Cake, which was grown and bred by @Umthunzi_Garden (who has since left the social media platform).
Second place went to Peanut Butter Sherb Breath from @africanna.select, which was grown by @phezulu_smoke.
And the top spot went to Umthunzi Garden’s Garlic Cake. This means that two of the top three positions were taken by the same grower and genetics. We have to visit your grow setup and learn some of the tricks of the trade from you soon.
Then, for international genetics!
Zootly’s Cannabis Cup International Genetics!
While we love everything local, we also crave those international flavours!
The third place went to @dacha_afrika, who grew Terple by In House Genetics (which is not on the social media platform). Dacha Afrika also offers complete medical cannabis and hemp product solutions, as well as consultations. If their green thumb is anything to go by, they know their stuff.
Second place was grown by @seven_blade_cannabis (also off the platform). Also a medical cannabis provider, once again, we highly recommend them. And although there are no direct sales to the public from them, all their crops are for research and development, local off-take, and export off-take.
And the top prize went to Colt… that’s all we know about them. No profiles to share. But we do know they used In-House Genetics’ Frosted Apricots.
Our mystery person is really the best grower in South Africa.
And like that, it’s all over. But then again, there’s always next year! Additionally, if you’d like a recap of last year’s winners, take a trip back in time below.
And yes, all artwork was provided by Bushy Wopp!
Zootly’s Cannabis Cup Winners 2020!
After months of blood, sweat, and tears under the harsh grow lights, we have the winners of Zootly’s Cannabis Cup!
Once again, we would like to extend a massive congratulations to Team Dank SA. You should follow them, they worked wonders!
Their winning strains was President Seed’s WW3. The judges described it as “simply mesmerising” and “the best cannabis in South Africa!”
What does the best crop in South Africa look like? Well, lucky for you, we got a master of photography to snap some epic cannabis shots!
The judges really loved the look, feel, fragrance, taste, and effect that the grower was able to achieve with this strain.
Team Dank SA, being the epic professional grower, also submitted his crop of Putin’s Punch… and while it didn’t punch its way through to the top spots… It was still a beauty!
And yes, we did take some shots of it! We took pictures of all the entries in the Cannabis Cup.
But who came in second? Well!
2nd Place Cannabis Cup Winner – Cuban Zulu Grows
Another submission of WW3 had the judges begging for more from Cuban Zulu Grows!
We knew, when seeing this footage in October, that we were in for a treat!
And when it arrived at our offices, everyone could see – THIS IS SOME GOOD SH!T!
Since you walked away with a R2 500 voucher from Zootly, we’re sure you’ll put your prize to good use at Cape Town’s Best Grow Shop!
But who got the third-place prize of a voucher valued at R1 100 from President Seeds?
3rd Place Cannabis Cup Winner – Brendz Vape!
We’re not sure if the crew at Zootly is more impressed by his bud or his sneakers. Whichever you choose, both are dank AF!
When our eyes graced this amazing bud online, we knew that this was a winner. Just look at it!
And did it look good on it’s photo shoot! Whoo-Whee! Now this is what we call a Royal Wedding Cake!
And like that, the Zootly’s Cannabis Cup was all wrapped up!
We feel like no one is a loser, especially us, when it comes to growing marijuana! And the quality of the bud was truly amazing!
The Zootly crew spent hours snapping pictures of the amazing submissions!
Don’t believe us! Well, here are some more entrants!
Everyone’s Sort of A Cannabis Cup Winner! When Growing Their Own!
