Frequently Asked Questions
HomeGrown Cup 2023
After a succesful, first ever, HomeGrown Cup Weekender, we’re back this winter with an outdoor only (weed and extracts need to be from outdoor) edition again on December 16. With one rule adjustment: you don’t need to also enter the flower category to compete in the extracts categories. You only need to show us one bud of the starting material on December 14 when you hand in your samples.
Can I buy tickets to this event?
No, unlike during the Weekender last summer, tickets will not be available for the public. This is due to the limited space (everything will take place inside the venue).
Competitors on the other hand must pay 100 euros per entry to enter the HomeGrown Cup 2023 Winter Edition. For each entry, you get a judge pack. For every entry, you also get a goodiebag including a t-shirt.
How much do I need to enter?
You can find the quantities in the registration form. You cannot send in your entry through the post. After your registration is confirmed, we will communicate how and when you bring your entry (or multiple) and pay your registration fee.
