The Grow-Off is the ONLY national cannabis growing competition where small farms, big operations, and home growers have an equal chance to be deemed the best grower

Phinest Cannabis alongside Dubplatez will be the official California competition clone provider for The 2023 Grow-Off, taking place throughout the state. The Grow-Off is the ONLY national cannabis growing competition where small farms, big operations, and home growers have an equal chance to be deemed the best grower.

The Grow-Off launched in 2016 stating that it’s not what you grow but how you grow it. The concept was founded on the belief that instead of the hottest strain winning every year, they give the participants identical pathogen-free mystery cuts to grow. Winners will be announced at the Mega Awards in Q1 of 2024. SCLabs will share the results, awarding the top three growers in Total Terpenes and Total Cannabinoids. 

Samantha Taylor, Founder of The Grow-Off states that “this competition is the only science-based cannabis competition that allows farms of all shapes and sizes to compete on an even playing field. This isn’t a beauty contest. This isn’t pay-to-play. This is the ultimate test of cultivation skills.” She also states, “We’re thrilled to be working with Phinest. Phinest Nursery and Distribution have allowed us to move swiftly across several regions in the big state of California.” Once participants are signed up to be involved in this year’s competition, the mystery cultivar can be found at participating grow-off retail locations.

A breeder-centric hub of new cannabis clone genetics, carefully propagated in small batches and available only to select, hand-picked California growers

Phinest Cannabis, California’s leading provider of cannabis tissue culture-based clones and operator of one of North America’s largest indoor cannabis clone nurseries announced the introduction of a new project called Dubplatez.

Dubplatez is an initiative by the Phinest team to reverse the recent trend of cannabis genetics being bred for a very narrow range of attributes that are currently in demand by distributors and brokers.

“Botanists have identified more than 100 cannabinoids in cannabis and 400 different terpenes,” said Matt Wich, COO for Phinest Cannabis. “We have more than 200 distinct aroma compounds to work with. The combination of these elements should provide breeders with a nearly infinite palette to explore. Yet we continue to see a hyper-focus on high THC production and on purple strains which is driving the industry toward the lowest common denominator genetics. Dubplatez is our commitment to change this direction.”

Ian Strouss, VP of Breeding and Cultivation for Phinest states, “Dubplatez is the underground label for cultivators who want something truly unique. By taking chances, the farmers will be able to earn higher tickets on unique genetics. High risk, high reward. Our approach is to follow in the footsteps of heirloom/craft movements in other industries. We want to experiment with all the flavours, smells and effects of cannabis in order to create more beautiful expressions from the plant. We’re in the trenches looking, smelling and smoking original work being created by new breeders with passion and skill.”
