Inspired by legacy events that helped to shape cannabis culture, the Cannabis NB Cup celebrates the best in grow as decided by you, our customers.
Welcome to the 2023 Cannabis NB Cup!
Starting April 20th, any customer can purchase a Cannabis NB Cup box while supplies last, and act as a judge in the Cannabis NB Cup. Winners in each category will be chosen based on judges scores. Judging will remain open until June 19th. Results will be announced in late June.
Your 2023 winners are here!

How this works.
We take cannabis seriously.
Examine and experience the buds
There’s a lot of detail to crafting premium bud, and this is the time to take a peek at the Judge’s Book to review the criteria for each strain. From appearance to experience, you’ll want to consider everything. For some of these details, we’ve included a jewellers loop within your judges kit to give you a leg up on those finer details for bud structure.
Take your time – the experience is part of the journey. We recommend trying one strain per day so you can dial in your notes. As you experience each strain, record your scores in your Judge’s Book – you’ll use these notes when you submit your final scores. And hang onto that code inside your Judge’s Box – you will need that later.
Record your observations & experience in the Judge’s Book
Once you’ve had the opportunity to examine and experience a strain, record your observations. Use the Judge’s Book to keep a record of the score you give each strain. Be sure to give your score for each category. Once all categories have been completed, tally up your final score for the strain on the scorecard. Again we recommend trying one strain per day to help keep strain experiences separate. This is where you put your cannabis expertise to the test. We’re relying on you, judges!
Submit your official scores
Once you have experienced all 8 strains and completed the scoring in the Judge’s Book, make your votes official with our online survey, available exclusively for our Judges.
