Barney's Farm and The Greenhouse Seed Company have been taking turns placing First at the Cannabis Cup for the past EIGHT YEARS!! Having just returned to the States a week ago after the Cup I can positively say that these companies have quality genetics, however, they are far from superior to other strains at the cup. The Cup as a whole is going downhill, it has now become a place for Coffeeshops to advertise themselves rather than a judging of the quality, potency, and characteristics of a strain. GOODBYE Barney's vs. Greenhouse Cup, I will NEVER return for another experience. There are plenty of REAL Cannabis Cups such as the Highlife, IC 420, and the Tokers Bowl. These contests actually devise winners by the qualities and characteristics of the strain, rather than how well a shop can set up a booth and "sell" it's strain. Sorry for the rant fellow growers, this years Hightimes Cup dissapointed so much I will never return, ever.
