Liner notes

The crew host an intense "Post-Cup" debrief to address the fallout from the 2022 Cowboy Cup in Oklahoma. We're joined by founder Daniel Lewis and Derek Hillman from Ganjier to explain why a staggering number of sun-grown and light-assist entries were disqualified for mold despite having passing COAs. Then, things get heated as Brandon Rust (Bokashi Earthworks) calls in to challenge the professionalism of the "on-stage" call-outs and the impact on local farmers' reputations. Plus, Brent from Apothecary Extracts joins the panel to discuss their big wins in the BHO categories and the science of CRC.
