I've no horse in this race, but I agree.

That being said, I hear that Tahoe Chemdog from Catnip calling my name.

the taste, smell and effects were awesome, so much flavor.

is it normal for rosin to end up so light colored? or was that from early taken plants?

dabbing that stuff was so tasty, a real explosion of flavor.

This rosin was made from Sift. Of 20% headbanger and 80%the Melon. Its made from full plants lightly sifted for 3 min by hand on a flat screen.

This is then slightly pressed without touching by hand. Inside parcment paper to small cubes.

Those cubes get folded in a coffeefilter and pressed with a hairstraightner between parchment. For short time and on lowest heat.

I the collect all together and wipped it on a very low heat and budderd it. Thats why its so light the good quality start sift and the whipping.

Try it. Its easy and pretty fast to make.

Congrats to everybody for so many awesome nugs to smoke... .. .
Congrats to all breeders, growers, hashmakers, rosinmakers, weed lovers and the others... .. .
Cause this year i think the quality was a bit better than last year for buds and it was a bit different for the H category that i personnaly think was not impressive and low in samples this year... .. . (but it's just me... .. .)
As every year i had really good times meeting friends, old faces and new faces from all over europe... .. .
Personnally i didn't understand how people were able to judge for their own as i think it was one of the first rule of this awesome CLEAN cup... .. .
It's a shame that it started all the questions about manipulating scores cause i was thinking xwe were all far from this type of thing. For me this cup is just for weed lover and passion so i don't wanna fall in suspicion of group votin, puting low score etc... .. .

As for me we are all "friends" and adults and respectful i really don't like the way this year voting results are making each other thinking of others votes etc... .. .

For me if u vote for such a comptetion you have to make it in full respect and honesty... .. . if not it's really not the matter !!! !! !

So now it puts some bad karma in my opinion of our lovin cup... .. . ;-(

I really don't know what to think as every year after the results there always discussion but personnaly it's first time it is so clear... .. . U can vote for your entry and some are saying are puttin some really suspect low score... .. .
Personnally i always comment my scores cause for me numbers are not meaning lot and it's such personnal so it need explanation... .. .

Well personnally i know DrP. and BestHaze and i don't know what happened this year but these 2 guys are really nice and respectful people and the people that know them know what i mean... .. . Me i was thinking nobody can vote for his, SO WHY DID IT HAPPENNED TO A LOT THAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THEIR STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the best to everybody, it was a blast for me as every year to be able to see you all and talk and smoke with some... .. .

See you next year... .. . but as it is now i don't know if i'll judge again too... .. .
And another point i was unable to enter my vote till 4:10pm !!!!!!! so i couldn't vote for all the entry i had cause had to write all my comment and it is not an easy thing to do if u wanna make it right... so i was a bit acid when i spend 3 days testing and at the end i couldn't express my opinion fully... .. . so be it... .. .

[74G]

and for people who are voting if u make it properly it is a real hard "work" so when all this means nothing just for technical purpose : IT SUCKS !!! !! ! Personnally it stressed me out on the last day... .. .

Thank buddy,
you're the first-one how spent 2 words to say something nice about us...after 6on6 (or how u prefer) entries placed.

[gaiusmarius]

its not black and white besthaze, i love you guys both, you are great people doing really interesting and amazing work, you are most generous and a pleasure to be around.

despite all the above and despite that it hurts me to have to criticize, i don't understand why you voted on your own entry. yes the the system should take care of it, but still we all know that self votes are not wanted. so yeah i love you guys both on a personal level and have great admiration and respect for your skills, but still wish you didnt vote on your entry.

thats all really. it's very hard for the organizers to do everything and if we have to worry about things like this, it's just an extra stress, so yeah, would really help if people don't even try and vote on their own entry.

i realize that your entries were top and the results don't seem much different, so wasn't really even worth it. best trimming job you guys ever brought to the cup if i am not mistaken this year. i hope you don't take this as an attack, just explaining how it looks from organisers point of view.

You're right , perhaps I've decided to vote my own and now I can't do something. NEXT time I'll not vote my own entries 4 sure. I don't like so negative vibes for that I consider just LOVE&PASSION

@SKIP
for me the software well done, yet! It's working from years and years and another century I hope it goes on!

but an advice who simply could stop or at least get very difficult the tactical-voting (especially for downvoting):

software shouldn't SHOW the sample's NAME during the voting. it could remain secret till the timeline's ended!

In this matter u could be sure that nobody know what's voting before; maybe from his friends or watching screen from others ppl devices ...
Many time "impossible" sounds good as proof of correctness


PS: didn't I remember well or two years ago was yet like that?!?! and we know the sample's name just when the prizes was given?!?
