Categories

For the first event, this Hawaii competition had a great turnout of participants with the following categories available: 

  • Candy
  • Gas
  • Mix or Wildcard

Each contestant could enter up to 3 indoor strains and 3 outdoor strains in each category (for a total of 9 entries per person). All together, there were 15 entries for solventless and 16 flower entries, 4 indoor and 12 outdoor. Most entries fell into the candy category with only 1 real gas entry submitted. Judge passes were available to the general public (and sold out) in addition to hand selected head judges from across the island and varying in age to ensure the most accurate and knowledgeable results possible. Blind samples were numbered and handed out to the judges without any knowledge of the strain or grower with the goal of keeping the results as unbiased and genuine as possible. Only flower and solventless produced within the Hawaiian Islands were able to enter for this event.
