A groundbreaking event is brewing in the kaleidoscopic world of cannabis. Born from a simple concept in 2016, The Grow Off has emerged as the first and leading science-based cannabis competition. The event put an end to traditional cannabis competitions with its novel approach to combating weed.

The rules of The Grow-Off are revolutionary. All participants start with identical genetics and start with the same starting conditions. It doesn’t matter what you grow, but how you grow it. The competition isn’t about the latest and greatest strain, it’s about the skill and talent of the breeders. Lab testing replaces biased judges, with winners being determined based on highest cannabinoid and terpene content. The grand prizes? The famous Grow-Off Championship wrestling belt for Total Terpenes and Total Cannabinoids.

Horizons are expanding this year. cooperation with Davis Hemp Farms And orange Photonics, The Grow-Off is to take place for the first time National hemp cultivation. The competition marks a groundbreaking moment and spans all 50 states. It is the first time that the same strain is being grown and tested in each and every climate zone of the country. The traditional grow-off rules remain in place. The selected strain, specially bred for its remarkable adaptability, will stand the test of different environmental conditions.

“Each participant is free to grow the plant as they wish, and Orange Photonics will conduct nationally standardized tests for the participants,” explains SamTaylor, co-founder of The Grow-Off. “This particular strain should perform well in any environment, but we’re excited to see what the results tell us.”

To add academic value to the project, Davis Hemp Farms and The Grow-Off are in discussions with several university research programs about the possibility of a white paper. This could provide invaluable insight into the adaptability and growth patterns of cannabis under different conditions.
