A word from Riverview Living Soils:
" Riverview appreciates and wants to support the local growing community. Our goal is to help create self sufficient cultivators of not just Cannabis but food and other plant medicine as well. Creating self sufficient communities is how we can help ourselves and the planet heal. More nutritious food from working with nature, not against it."
A word from Traditional Seed Co.:
"I am hoping to be viewed as one of the premier genetics providers to all growers, especially Craft growers, in Missouri and beyond. I have been a participant and supporter in the home grown craft scene for decades. It’s truly part of who I am."

What is needed for Flower entries:
Step 1: Complete the Flower submission
Step 2: Bring 28+ grams of flower broken down into these quantities to any drop-off site OR the entire entry amount in a mason jar:
2g for potentcy testing
1g for terpene testing
1-2g+ flower for public display
13 (2g) portions for judges. These are preferably a complete flower set (a nug). This will be what the qualitative visual, aroma, flavor and experience measure will be based on. It is up to you how much flower you submit to the judges portion. Usually, a large nugget will suffice.
Step 3: Sit tight until potency and terpene tests are completed (usually within a week of lab pick up). All entrants will receive their qualitative numbers (cannabinoids and terpenoids) ASAP (in the order they were received). Judges will have three weeks to complete their task.
