one hell of a 420, even if i do say so myself. due to helping out with the organizational aspects this year i got to judge a complete judge pack, that is every category entered. as there was 29 types of bud and 10 types of hash you can imagine how busy i was, lol. the only condition was to share the hashes, which i did after only doing a couple of pipes of each type. there were some amazing hashes entered this year. amongst them the winner by ifrane, which was a dry sift made with mental floss. hortilabs hash kicked some serious rear end too, he got second place with his startbud fmcd. while STRANDvasker made third with his fine entry. the hashes were very close in quality in the top range. i just feel the dry sift won for the amazing taste and high, even if i found Hortilabs starbud fmcd to be more powerful it wasn't quite as interesting in taste and high. still when you are smoking that level of quality it's really hard to pick a winner.

anyway here is the line up of the entries, in no particular order. i will include the lists with the entry names and the sample numbers we gave them so you can look up what was what. will post up the profesional photoshoot of the samples which ED did for you guys soon too. these are to wet your apatite lol.







the only thing missing on the list is the Serious seed hash entry which was number 50, it was the one in it's own plastic pot. i hope someone did a photo shoot of the hashes too and will post them u here. i was in such a rush i didnt feel like getting the hashes out of the bags for the pics, which is a shame i now realize.

in the Indica Category :

1st place Sour Power by Hortilabs
2nd place was Mack Blues by Mack 10
3rd place was the star bud by Hortilab

also wanted to say a big thank you to the house of love seed co, they were so kind and actually gave a pack of seeds for every judge pack. they also helped tallying up the score sheets. great work AmishFarmer and Cannagirl.

also want to thank cannabiogen for donating some of their seeds for prizes to the private entrants. maybe next year someone can sponsor some lighters for the judges so everyone isn't always stealing mine rofl....glad i packed a few.

it was really amazing to meet so many really cool people from all over the world. it was as always amazing to be in such a big group of like minded people. but to be able to do it in the relaxed atmosphere of Amsterdam is just some thing special. for a few days you don't have to hide your favorite hobby from every one you meet. i'm really glad the Dutch government has collapsed, seems the weed pass will now not be introduced in Amsterdam after all on the 1st of may 2013. with any luck we can have another awesome get together next year.

for me the amazing thing about it was to see what can be done when people come together and pool resources and connections. Moppel and MrHaze really did us proud. we had some crazy sessions going and some serious stash being shared on top of the judge packs.

titoon had some amazing sativa with him of which he carried around some huge colas, which he dumped on the table where ever we happened to be. it was Jamaican something with Nigerian or some such, dont ask me, but was one nice hazy smoke.

KarmaGenetics was busy as always getting everyone near by high, including the serving staff who complained of getting a contact high from just clearing out the empty cups from our private room LOL. it was the dabbers i tell ya. smoked a nice bud of Karma's shoreline, which was a very tasty smoke, not sure what else he was passing around, but i seem to remember a bud of white og some where in the haze of the first day. what i will not forget is the oil hit, that began that session for me, hehe totally messed me up to the point of not functioning properly for a good 15 mins or so, haha. then i was just high as hell.

mack 10 was sharing his stash, truecannabliss, ojd and crew were sharing their fine personal. got smoked out by them on the first night hehe. the Chemy Jones was a real good smoke, i was just a bit stressed out when trying true's and ojd's stash, now i'm realizing i don't remember it too well. we were in the middle of unpacking the entries at the time... but i do remember noticing how clean it all smoked, which it always has done from those guys. anyway getting late now, will add more tomorrow. got to mention the German crew, cannanatics SourDiesel kicked some major ass imo, more about that tomorrow, also about the hash that tasted like Amnesia haze bud by Fregel was most memorable....
