East Coast Nugs n Jugs... and CONGRATS TO IMAGE REAPER!!!!

East Coast Nugs n Jugs was this past weekend at a private estate in New England. I'd say there were about 70 attendees, and the event lasted nearly 3 days.

It was organized by a dedicated group of growers from New England, who put a lot of effort into it, and did a great job.

There were presentations from a glassblower, an attorney, and 2 different hash makers- one presenting the bubble method, and the other making Butane Honey Oil. There were also MMJ activists there answering questions and networking. Outkastt made cookies that had people drooling first because they looked so tasty, and later because they hit so hard. TOH and Delta Force manned the smoker and the grill, damn boys, you probably never want to flip another burger again in your lives I'll bet! And American Grower cooked us some Fall River soul food- littleneck clams with potatoes and chorizo, mmmmmmm!!!

There were representatives from all up and down the East Coast (Big shout out to the Philly peeps; it was an absolute delight to meet you) and a whole slew of growers flew in from Cali and a few other scattered locations. The largest contingent came from the SouthShore/Rhode Island region- y'alls get DOWN there, I already knew that! I was disappointed that there were only a handful of chix at the event who didn't come with silicone attachments, but the ladies who did show up as guests and competitors were real chill. The females made a good showing in the judging, too. Outkastt (3rd place) and the woman whose name I didn't catch with the surprise 5th place entry repped hard for the XX crowd though, and every female who entered a strain actually placed in the top 5.

We smoked the finest herb that the East Coast growers had produced this year, ate lots of food, both medicated and non-medicated, enjoyed the fishing on the private pond, networked, and generally had a GREAT time.

I also learned to ride a dirt bike awful fast, because I didn't want to leave my car there and borrowed a cheap Chinese 200cc enduro bike from a buddy in the next town as my ride to the event, hahahaha!!!!! There were 4 strippers there too, very high end and put on a show in the evening. Those boots, and the fake tits, set against the rustic backdrop of the great green north, were incongruous and good for a laugh. And the DJ who was there was fantastic and so was the hip hop artist- both definitely into the underground/old school stylee- and they put on a great show.

The judging was the best part after all the food. There were 2 celebrity judges; Danny Danko from High Times, with whom I got a chance to chat, and found to be a very down-to-earth and humble sort of fella, and who is definitely a great supporter of all things medical, and ChemDawg, who is a legendary figure in the Northeast breeding scene. There were 10 other judges, picked from the guests who had not entered strains.

It was like bud boot camp; each judge had 17 numbered but unlabelled half-joints in front of him and a numbered card to make notes on various aspects of the herb, and there were a couple nugs of each entry being passed around for visual inspection. When the judges were finished, the rest of the joint was passed to the crowd around the table, of the people who had entered.

The herb was EXQUISITE, and plentiful. The winners were:

1 Joe Schmoe [ICMag] with Burkle
2 Dr Longbottom [ICMag] with The Shire
3 Outkastt [ICMag] with Original Blueberry
4 Stinkyattic [Canncom] with NorCal Daddy's Girl
5 This one I did not catch; the bud was entered by Dr. Snow on behalf of his friend, who had grown it fully organic, and it was only her 2nd grow EVER. It was excellent.

That's right! I entered NorCal Daddy's Girl, grown in soilless in 90+ degree temps using a 4 year old jug of Botanicare Power Flower (chemmy as hell but seems more stable 'on the shelf' than the FF equivalent), with no flushing at the end...

And it was good enough for 4th place out of 18 entries.

Congratulations again to The Image Reaper, whose work was good enough to shine through my mishandling in Stinky's House of Plant Torture.

Next Nugs n Jugs... Vegas, babeee!

edit: found out name of 5th place entry

...

Congrats! That sounded like a hell of a place to be. Just all the food talk alone makes me wish to be there.....

THANK YOU, Stinky ! ... I am so happy, one of the nicest things I've heard in a loooong time :D ... I am so proud of my lil girl :thumbsup: ... and, I can't really take credit, because I insist, I just got 'lucky' :D ... it's probably due more to Stinky's growing skills, anyway ... Stinky, I just hope you didn't have to sacrifice your virtue, and submit 'NorCal Daddy's Girl' while topless :D ... hmmm, that oughtta be worth a few additional points :thumbsup:
and, NCDG thanks you, too ! this pic is of the very first NCDG :jointsmile:

If you don't mind, I'm going to forward that pic to couple people who were wondering what the plant looked like with its leaves still attached, lol. Reap darlin', she's such a good girl, and such a crowd pleaser, I didn't have to sacrifice my virtue on her behalf, lol. It was a totally blind, numbered taste test.

good idea, sending a 'leaves-intact' photo, as really easy manicuring is one of her strong points, too :jointsmile:

cONGRATULATIONS! Both of you...the grower AND the breeder!! :thumbsup:

PS....Come on you KNOW the food wasn't really that good.....everyone was just stoned....:D

What the hell is a "littleneck" clam? Since when do clams have necks??!!! :eek:

I cooked much of it myself. I PROMISE it really was that good! It's not that I have a big head; I just have enough catering experience to do that shit up RIGHT!! Yum yum! I did polenta, crepes with wild mushrooms, stuffed potato skins, caramels, potato salad, caramelized garlic mashed potatoes, quesadillas, and something else that I've already forgotten. Oh well.
But stoners are a GREAT crowd to cook for either way!

so um... how would one be able to attend next year?

cuz it sounded like a good ole time...

'Littleneck' refers to the area where those particular clams grow.
They are tender and delicious.

Now LAND has necks?? :eek:

This is getting scarier and scarier!! :D

Thanks for the info Steve. :)

Yup, it's by word of mouth only. It's not to be elitist, but to keep it secure and safe, and also to avoid party crashers who could potentially cause trouble that in other cases would just be a matter of having them removed by security, but in this case, 'removed' guests with intoxicants in their systems are considered security risks. See what I'm getting at?
Of everyone there, not one single person was out of control, although I did get my tushie whacked with a ping pong paddle by another female partygoer, lol! Everyone was moving reaaaal slow by the end of the night, but damn what a great way to prove how easygoing people stay even under the influence of VERY high levels of cannabis! I wish the mainstream press could have seen it. Even I was just FLOORED by the feeling of community.

yeah we have those here too... but I've always wanted to go to the US and actually stay for more than few hrs... we leave blunts in a locker at the border....

oh well... maybe I'll meet some american that'll hook me up... or just get me a card.. I dunno if I can do that not being american...

congrats on your placing of great herbs and the cooking
hope you had a blast
;):thumbsup:

damn stinks....sounds like a BLAST!!! would love to attend one day....judged a cannabis cup in 98, but thats WAY too commercial....not my bag baby....

Here's some eye candy!
1- Actual plant that produced my entry
2- The Cup (with a nug of the Black Indica that I almost entered)
3- Some glass I received as thank you gifts or bought at the convention
4- Entrance ID nametags I printed up for the event
5- The paper bag portrait I suggested to document the event anonymously, but which was taken after I had left. That is about 1/4 of the conferencegoers. Photo credit: Danny Danko hisself

thanks :) ... yesterday, I wrote to a favorite seedbank of mine, offering to donate a few hundred 'Original F1 NorCal Daddy's Girl' seeds, with my share of the proceeds being donated to MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) ... hopefully, will know more in a few days ... IF it happens, I will see if Sundance would allow me to post a link to them, or something ... :jointsmile:

I use her mostly for alleviating depression :( ... 'NorCal Daddy's Girl' is roughly 50% Cinderella99, 25% Northern Lights, and 25% G-13 ... extremely stable and tolerant ... in soil, she follows the C99 tradition of a 50+day flowering period, but she tends to go another 10 days, or so, in hydro ... don't ask, beats the hell out of me :D ... she is VERY forgiving, can't mistreat her enough, it seems ... great citrusy-aroma, could use her for air freshener :thumbsup: ... oh, did I mention she's as potent as all get-out ? :stoned: ... she is a real high-flyer, you won't sleep with this girl ;) ...
I've offered her for free, to a couple seedbanks, with any profits going to MPP, but no takers :wtf: ... (can't even GIVE her away :wtf:) ... looking at possibility of 'Seedbay' when I get more 'arranged' ... real busy trying to survive after the big fire, right now :jointsmile:

well u can give her to me, ill take great care of her shes very pretty looking

big fire?

yeah, pretty big, that WAS my home in lower right corner :(

coooonnnngratulations my ferend! :D your pics look good as hell too!



man i really wish i could find a connection for these things... no chance in hell for me down in deep south i guess!

oh and btw how can u get anonymous po box?????
if i knew how to get a delivery location other than my own address and use a different name, i would get the po box now and order my seeds right after!!!

oh btw i read about this home situation thing in another post the other day...such a pitty... around your home looks peaceful though... i wish u a quick & pleasant recovery, hope u get a better house in a safer place :thumbsup: and toke in the permanent nest which always feels better to me than hits even in my own car and garage lol

Thot I caught all these threads at the time, this slipped by! Nugs and Jugs! If they go to L.V. I am a few hours from it and will be there. Now, I will do my homework and figure out when and where!!! Oh boy! L.V. in July -- over 100 degrees there, hope it is indoors!! Hold all that hot air inside and recycle!! A big party sounds really good. Too bad we can't have a can.com one! :D

Again, congrats to I/R & Stinky with the brass ovaries to enter!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:

Maybe the seeds could be sent out with each person's 1,000th post on can.com--just joking! But, sure sounds like the perfect blend for me. Don't want to wait years to make my own seed. Oh well! :rastasmoke:

Image--you need an update to your "on the road" thread and let us know where you are and how you are doing! We are concerned about you. Still in CA? How did the lab tests come out. Don't mean to thread jack/ but it seems the topic has come up and opened the door, hope you all don't mind!! If so, please delete this in the bone pile with the rest of mine! PR :hippy:

I'm still hanging out in northern CA, staying with a couple friends right now :thumbsup: ... tied up with the sawbones, regarding my knee replacement ... hope to escape his clutches soon (he's hinting at re-replacing the knee, f*ck that idea :wtf:) ... built my bedframe in the van, and got a new memory foam mattress, starting to get it together ... hoping insurance settlement will allow me to get a new, small trailer, too, but no check in my hand yet :wtf: ... and, still keeping my 'NorCal Daddy's Girl' seeds cool and dry, (while I sweat my ass off :D)
