BEST IN TERPS

BRING YOUR BEST BATCH!

This battle royale is all about consistency. The open-profile submission is allowing you to bring what you have in rotation that represents the best quality and smokability for your operation. As cultivators, we are defined by our last batch. As we continue to dive deep into the topic of the Science of Smokability, it’s time to level up together in the sense of post production and consistency.

All samples will be provided an aW (water activity) measurement by the Aqualab 4TE. In addition, we are going to measure TVOC’s (total volatile organic compounds) AKA: Loudness Factor, which will determine if your entry makes it into the Top 10 Battle Royale Judges Kit. 

We will see how this measurement aligns with the judges!

TOP 10 CONTENDERS FROM THE BATTLE ROYALE: CONTENDERS SERIES WILL MAKE IT TO THE BATTLE ROYALE: FINALE, WHICH WILL BE IN THE JUDGES KIT.

BATTLE ROYALE: CONTENDERS WILL BE JUDGED ON LOUNDNESS (AROMA USING A TOTAL VOC METER). THE BASELINE WILL BE DETERMINED BY A PROTOCOL THRESHOLD FROM THE TOP TEN SCORING ENTRIES. IF YOUR ENTRY DOES NOT MAKE IT PAST THIS ROUND, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE FINALE.

BATTLE ROYALE: LOUDNESS PROTOCOL

- ENTRY WILL BE PUT THROUGH THE FLOWER MILL (3 GRAMS)

- ENTRY WILL BE PLACED INTO A GROVE BAG FOR 5 MINUTES WITH OUR TVOC METER.

- ENTRY WILL BE RECORDED AND RANKED FOR FINALE QUALIFICATION.
