We just heard our Chocolate Maple won 3rd place at the Aloha Cup (January 2026) this past weekend. This event was held at the Blaisdell Convention Center on Oahu. There were 2 categories: sun grown and indoor. Chocolate Maple was entered as sun grown flower by @ogganjahfarmer who took home a trophy, $200, and free entry into a future cup.

Scoring
Judging was done by an all public panel with all of the scores determined blind. Nobody was told what strain they were judging or who grew it, instead having everything labeled by numbers.
The 5 categories judges scored:
- Appearance
- Aroma
- Flavor
- Potency
- Smokability

Our Black Maple mother grown by 808 Genetics
Genetic Lineage
Chocolate Maple is Black Maple x Gorilla Glue #4 BX with the outcross being to Crippy BX4. Both Black Maple and Gorilla Glue #4 wash and yield well. The terps will compliment each other as Black Maple has a sweet syrup gasoline smell and Gorilla Glue #4 has a strong diesel fuel and chocolate terp. @ogganjahfarmer said his selected pheno was a Black Maple leaner but did have some GG#4 notes.
A big congratulations to @ogganjahfarmer and mahalo for choosing an 808 Genetics strain to enter in the cup!
