ROLL CALL - STATE FAIR 2025
“Our purpose of the Battle Royale is to highlight and celebrate our fellow cultivators who pour their heart and soul into producing quality flower. In order to survive in the market, you have to feed it what is in demand, whether it is the candy wave, gas or whatever the market throws at us. This competition is an opportunity for us to come together and appreciate the craft of one another while learning and leveling up from fellow cultivators. Our contenders are the judges which we also sprinkle in some trusted industry smokers with a refined palette to help provide a well-rounded judging panel. We still include the most important element, having fun while learning and leveling up with a relevant topic in cultivation which can help us refine our process.”
