📅 EVENT DETAILS

DATE: Saturday, January 9th, 2027

TIME: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM

LOCATION: Wiarton Curling Club, Wiarton, Ontario

AGE RESTRICTION: 19+ only

PAYMENT METHODS: Cash or Email Money Transfer (EMT)

CATEGORIES: Main Flower Competition, Non-Solvent Concentrate Category, Strain Wars, and Testing-Only Option!

VENDORS & SPONSORS: Sponsor and vendor tables will be on-site! Email us at [email protected] if you are interested in helping sponsor the event.

🏆 MAIN GROWERS CONTEST: SHOWCASE YOUR FLOWER
Calling all local growers to step up and share their top-tier harvest! (Note: Rules may change prior to the Nugswap).

Entry Cost: $50 (Includes required lab analysis)

Submission Requirement: Bring 30 grams (+1g for cannabinoid testing) of your highest-quality homegrown bud.

Competition Format: Entries are distributed among participating growers for initial peer evaluation—you will judge another group's entries, and all indoor samples will be grouped together. The top-rated strains from each group advance to the Semifinals to be scored by our panel using the Sommelier Scorecard. From there, the top indoor and outdoor samples move on to a blind smoke test by our judging panel to crown the overall champion!

Capacity & Timing: Capped at 45 contestants! Registration cutoff is 4:30 PM, and judging samples will be ready for pickup starting at 5:30 PM.

🍯 NON-SOLVENT BASED CONCENTRATE SECTION (HASH, ROSIN & MORE)

Entry Cost: $50 (Includes cannabinoid testing)

Submission Requirement: Bring 5g of your finest solventless concentrate separated into 13 equal samples, plus one 0.25g sample for cannabinoid testing.

The Sample Swap: Leave with up to 10 samples from fellow makers to evaluate!

Format & Scoring: Peer-judged competition capped at 10 contestants per group (2 groups max). Participants rank samples from 1–10 ( #1 = 3 pts, #2 = 2 pts, #3 = 1 pt). The contestant with the most peer points in each group advances to a blind smoke-off in the finals! (If there is only one group, the highest-ranked competitor from peer sampling takes the win).

🤝 NON-GROWERS WELCOME: SPONSOR A GROWER!
You don't need to cultivate your own plants to join the judging action!

How It Works: Pay the registration fee on behalf of a cultivator or concentrate maker and judge entries in their place—it’s just like being a contestant without needing to grow!

Limited Availability: Sponsor spots are limited, so arrive early to claim yours! (Generous local growers frequently share product so guest judges can jump right in).

⚔️ STRAIN WARS (MINDWARP EDITION)
Growing out your Mindwarp seeds from the banquet? Keep an eye on our page and your inbox for dedicated Strain Wars updates!

🧪 TESTING-ONLY OPTION ($35)
Want to know how your personal grow stacks up without entering the full competition?

How It Works: Bring 1 gram of flower or concentrate and pay the $35 testing fee to have it analyzed for THC and C*D (registration form provided at the door).

Bonus Perks: Results will be emailed to you and presented at the Growers Banquet—plus, you are automatically entered into our Highest THC & C*D Competitions!

🎸 ATMOSPHERE, FOOD & OPEN MIC

Live Entertainment: Hosted by Pete Devlin, our Open Mic showcases awesome local talent (and entry for the concert only is FREE!). All attendees are welcome to take the stage—email [email protected] to reserve a performance slot!

Food & Refreshments: Homemade goodies will be provided throughout the afternoon, with a snack vendor on-site and full bar service available (Cash & Debit accepted).

Smoking Policy: Please respect the venue—smoking or va**ng cannabis is strictly prohibited within 9 meters of the building entrance.

Come for the outstanding local harvest, enjoy the music and community, and celebrate craft cannabis together! Official rules will be attached to your judging kits at the event.

Head Judges Swap Notes for a strain that may look small but hits with its purple daze

Blue Razzie

Bud Structure: Small to medium-sized buds with a dense, uniform formation.

Texture: Very sticky, resinous, and holds together firmly.

Aroma: Mild aroma with subtle herbal notes, not overpowering.

Appearance: Dark green with sugar leaves that turn purple at the tips, creating a striking contrast. Sparse trichome coverage with minimal pistil presence.

Overall Impression: The sticky texture immediately stands out, indicating high resin content. While the aroma is subtle and mild, the dense structure and unique purple-tipped sugar leaves make this strain visually distinct. The firm formation suggests proper curing, making it a well-crafted flower despite its understated scent profile.

Beefy OG Pheno #2
Genetics Blayne Frshwtr Nicholson

Bud Structure: Very dense and tightly packed, with a solid, chunky formation.

Texture: Slightly sticky with a firm structure that holds its shape well.

Aroma: Very fragrant citrus aroma, bright and zesty.

Appearance: Vibrant green with fiery orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes, giving it a frosted look.

Effects: Hit instantly—one minute I was judging, the next I was deep in the fridge like a detective on a case. Munchies hit hard, and no snack was safe.

Overall Impression: This strain immediately stands out for its strong citrus scent, which is both pungent and refreshing. The dense, well-formed buds and sticky texture suggest careful curing and high resin content. A bold, aromatic strain with an eye-catching frosty appearance.

CannaFact: When it comes to canna, OG doesn't stand for Original Gangsta but represents a strain that originated outdoors grown alongside the ocean in coastal areas like Cali and LA. Think surfer stoner strains and you'll get Ocean Grown OG.

Head Judge's Swap Notes

Grease Monkey

Genetics Sasquatch Seeds

Bud Structure: Light, large nugs with a very dense formation

Texture: Not super sticky but firm to the touch

Appearance: Deep green with scattered orange pistils and a moderate trichome layer.

Overall Impression: This strain features large, dense buds with a more muted earthy aroma. While it doesn’t have an overpowering scent, the firm texture and solid structure suggest good curing. Post-grind, the aroma transformed, bringing out a deeper citrus note with a gas/chemical undertone, adding unexpected complexity.

We don't normally put personal notes on here but ...Last night I made dinner, while my partner - the Head Judge - sampled Entry D-10 in the living room. When I brought dinner in, I'd realized I'd entered an alternate plain. I can vouch that the meal I made tasted okay; but, there's barely any leftovers because they ate everything they could and kept trying to make me taste their plate cuz it was just 'so good.' That 5 Star Organics strain's munchies turned me into a 5 Star Chef apparently.. Let's skip over to their effects swap note:

"Stayed high for so long I started questioning time itself" 🌿🌌🚀

Fair to say they definitely enjoyed Entry D-10 🤣🌌🚀

Back to our regular programming, check their complete Swap Notes:

Black Tuna

Genetics

Texture: Dense and sticky, with a firm structure that has some give when squeezed.

• Aroma: Very subtle earthy aroma, mild and not overpowering.

• Bud Structure: Small to medium-sized buds, well-formed with a compact build.

• Appearance: Deep green with light orange pistils, a moderate layer of trichomes giving it a slightly frosted look.

• Effects: Hit instantly and hard. Stayed high for so long I started questioning time itself.

• Overall Impression: This strain presents a mild and subtle aroma, making it a discreet choice for those who prefer less pungency. The sticky texture and well-formed buds suggest quality curing, while the slight give when squeezed indicates balanced moisture retention. Notably, a bright lemon note emerges unexpectedly during the dry pull, adding a fresh citrusy layer to the experience.

Our Head Judge's Swap Notes

Blueberry Muffin x Nuken

Genetics

Texture: Extremely sticky with a dense, compact formation, covered in visible trichomes. After handling the ground bud, my fingers were so sticky it was hard to separate them

Aroma: Strong earthy and herbal notes, highly aromatic with a bold presence

Dry Pull: Sweet with a subtle perfume undertone, adding a refined complexity to the flavor profile

Flavor & Burn: Consistent flavor throughout the joint as it burned, maintaining its profile from start to finish

Effects: Immediate onset with a great uplifting feeling—euphoric and energizing, with no paranoia

Bud Structure: Large buds with a tight and dense formation

Appearance: Deep green with vibrant orange pistils and a thick layer of frosty trichomes. Sugar leaves throughout.

Overall Impression: This entry stands out for its high aromatic intensity and dense, sticky texture. The well-preserved trichomes and evolving scent/flavor profile—ranging from bold earthiness to a sweet, perfumed dry pull—complement the smooth, consistent burn. The uplifting effects with no paranoia make it a well-balanced, enjoyable strain, perfect for daytime or social use. Bonus points for next-level stickiness—handling this strain was like dealing with fresh tree sap.

Our Panel of Head Judges use Cannabis Sommelier Scorecards for our Top 12 Strains ensuring a consistent approach to evaluating the quality of our strains
