HomeGrown Cup in the Media
‘The 2017 HomeGrown Cup was a perfect example of how cannabis goes beyond healing individuals and can heal communities, too.’
‘Considering these wins, but also checking out the other categories and flavors, you may very well conclude that orange is the new black indeed…’
‘Dat dit jaar alles gestroomlijnder en beter liep dan vorig jaar, werd duidelijk toen we op een gegeven moment anderhalf uur vóór op schema liepen en daardoor veel eerder de winnaars bekend konden maken.’
‘A bunch of like-minded individuals came together for a harvest festival in a warm and cosy atmosphere and enjoyed amazingly tasty food and shared wonderful homegrown products, tips and tricks. I don’t see how the bigger, commercialized Cups will ever be able to capture this magic.’
‘The Homegrown Cup–held annually in Eindhoven–celebrates the annual agricultural harvests at the end of the season; and while it is not as elaborate as the other events, is beloved for keeping alive an old tradition which is perhaps the most important objective when it comes to securing the future of cannabis in the Netherlands and in its capital.’
‘Net als bij de eerdere edities was de sfeer de hele dag uitstekend; het gevoel onder vrienden te zijn, ook al zag je veel mensen voor het eerst. De verbindende kracht van cannabis blijft een wonderschoon verschijnsel en kwam hier optimaal tot zijn recht. Erg fijn was de doorlopende catering: soep, worstenbroodjes, vers gemaakte pizza’s, fruit, taart en – niet onbelangrijk – goede koffie.’
‘Een evenement waar amateurs, coffeeshops, cannabis social clubs, zadenbanken en growshops het tegen elkaar opnemen in een strijd om de beste wiet (en de beste hasj en concentraten ook tegenwoordig). Deelnemers zijn automatisch jurylid en krijgen een zak samples om te testen, waar de eigen inbreng uit is gehaald om fraude te voorkomen. Zij geven antwoord op de vraag: wie kweekt de lekkerste, mooiste, best geurende cannabis met het beste effect?’
‘At a secret location in the Dutch city of Eindhoven last month, around 70 cannabis growers, concentrate producers, and cannaseurs gathered to take part in the second annual Homegrown Cup. Their charge: Judge entries in four different categories: outdoor, indoor, traditional hash, and concentrates. (…)’
