February Fire 2023

Our little homegrown cannabis cup grew a bunch in 2023. We had 52 entries, with experienced and beginner growers from central Virginia and the surrounding areas. We had our first Fire Master Workshop in which we trained prospective local judges, taught by Walton Select with an assist from Big Worm Organics.

We awarded the following entries…
Best New Grower - Sponsored by Homegrown VA
Best Woman Grower - Sponsored by the Women’s Cannabis Collective of VA
Best Autoflower - Sponsored by Photon Pharms
Best Photoperiod - Sponsored by Mt. Zion Seed Coop
Best Outdoor - Sponsored by Jolly Pond Farm
Best Indoor - Sponsored by Walton Select
Best Overall - Sponsored by Big Worm Organics

We had many contributing sponsors in 2023, thanks to them we were once again successful in putting on quite a show!

Local glass artists Steven Baker and Liam the Glass Guy collaborated to create our trophy. Each entry was tested for Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Moisture at Green Analytics locally in Richmond.

Our Awards Ceremony was a lively event, on February 25, 2023, again hosted by our friends at Homegrown VA.
