Award Winners

Award-winning cannabis seeds are strains that have won a prize at a cannabis cup: competitions where growers and seed banks have their best genetics judged on taste, smell, potency and looks. This category holds the award-winning strains in our range and the strains that descend directly from them.

Which award winners do we have?

• Amnesia Haze: multiple winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup, a sativa-dominant haze with a long flowering time and a powerful, clear effect.
• Jack Herer: a classic that won several cups and has been at the top for decades, named after the cannabis activist.
• Royal Gorilla and Gorilla Glue Gold: descendants of Gorilla Glue #4, known for its extremely high THC content and resin production, winner of several cups.
• Lemon Shining Silver Haze: an award-winning haze with a pronounced citrus smell.
• Golden Runtz, Gold Gelato, North Thunderfuck Gold and Bubbabu Kush: strains from our Goldline, built on the genetics of award-winning American strains.

What does a cup award mean?

A prize at a cannabis cup is given to a grown end product, judged by a jury. So it says something about what the genetics can deliver when the grow goes well. It does not mean every plant from every seed turns out exactly like that: light, nutrients, temperature and the grower's hand count just as much. An award-winning strain is usually stably developed, though, because seed banks put a lot of work into keeping the winning traits.

Who are award winners suitable for?

Many award-winning strains are sativa-dominant or have a high THC content, and therefore ask a bit more experience: a longer flowering time, bigger plants and a stronger effect. If you are a beginner, first look at the THC content and flowering time on the product page, or choose an award winner with compact growth. Our category cannabis seeds for beginners helps you choose.

Growing tips

Give hazes and other sativa-dominant winners time: 10 to 12 weeks of flowering is normal. Indoors it pays to top or bend the plants in time so they do not grow into the lamp. Outdoors these strains do best in a sunny, sheltered spot in our climate, and you harvest in October.

Are award-winning cannabis seeds more expensive?

Sometimes slightly, because the genetics took more development work. For our own Goldline strains the price per seed stays comparable to the rest of the shop, and the buy 4, pay 3 offer applies here too.

Which cup is the best known?

The High Times Cannabis Cup, held every year since 1988, is the oldest and best known. Besides that there are the Spannabis Champions Cup and the Emerald Cup, among others, each with its own jury and categories.
