2017 CULTIVATION CLASSIC
NORTHWEST LEAF
by SIMONE FISCHER
[EVENT RECAP]
The Cultivation Classic did an excellent job of focusing on the medical potential of Cannabis beyond the ability of getting high for fun.
The best and brightest showed out for the 2017 Cultivation Classic (CC), presented by the Willamette Week and Farma. The CC is “Oregon’s only competition exclusively for OMRI or OMRI-equivalent flower produced in the state without pesticides.”
For the second year in a row, I had the honor of judging the flower competition. During the first CC last year, I judged the THC category. This year, I volunteered to judge the CBD and 1:1 entries. I was gifted twelve entries to examine and there was the good, the bad and the ugly.

Oregon’s craft cannabis growers are going to be on full display this Friday when the Cultivation Classic takes place in Portland, Oregon. Some of the best craft cannabis growers in the state have entered the competition, some of which can be found below:

CANNABIS DAILY RECORD
by MRS. NICE GUY
This past weekend, while some of you were enjoying the NBA Playoffs, I was busy basking in Portland’s cannabis culture.
The Weather Gods blessed us with sunshine and warm temps as we made our way to the North Warehouse for the Cultivation Classic, an event that was held by Willamette Week, Cascadia Labs and Farma. This event was the first of it’s kind here in Oregon, a competition where growers submitted samples of flower that were soil-grown, using only organic methods. The samples in question were judged by local tastemakers in the area and the Cultivation Classic is where the winners were to be announced.
