T<\/span>he plants have been chopped, the buds dried and cured, and the judges have had time to sift through it all. On Dec. 9 and Dec. 10, the 2017 Emerald Cup will take place in Santa Rosa, California at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds \u2014 and Cannabis Now wants you prepared with our very first-ever Emerald Cup Survival Guide to accompany this world championship for outdoor marijuana cultivation.<\/p>\n You may be asking, \u201cBut Jimi, has anyone ever died at a cannabis competition? Why would one need a Survival Guide?\u201d\u00a0A reasonable inquiry, certainly. However, the goal is not to save your life, but to help you enjoy this special, once-a-year event at peak enjoyment.<\/p>\n We reached out to some of the premier cultivators, companies, judges, and even past winners to get their expert tips on how to have a blast this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The two biggest points that our experts emphasized concerned weather and wardrobe.<\/p>\n Over the course of the weekend, the weather will be a bit crazy. Weather forecasts are predicting that it will be drier than it has been in years past, which is promising, but it\u2019s still going get exceptionally chilly in the evenings. Nevertheless, both Saturday and Sunday are looking at highs in the mid-60s, before dropping to below 40 degrees when the sun goes down.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a champion and envision yourself trooping through a whole cup day without a wardrobe change, you\u2019re definitely going to want to wear layers. If you wear your nighttime attire all day, it\u2019ll get sweaty and not do as well keeping you warm later. However, we anticipate that it will be a reasonable temperature inside the concert and awards ceremonies venues each evening, especially with all the joints acting like mini space heaters.<\/p>\n However, no matter what the temperature, an Emerald Cup can easily be ruined if your feet hurt. Solid footwear is a must if you\u2019re planning to spend 10 hours a day walking around on mostly concrete.<\/p>\n We suggest that you couple your comfy footwear with one of the Emerald Cup\u2019s new innovations this year: pre-verification. In years past, one of the worst parts of the cup was standing in line to get your wristband to enter the 215 Zone, where smoking was allowed for medical marijuana patients. Thanks to the good folks at San Francisco tech-hub Meadow, this year the verification process will feature an express line. By visiting the Emerald Cup website<\/a>, you can get yourself pre-verified, but we recommend that you definitely still bring a hard copy of your recommendation for backup.<\/p>\n TELL US,<\/strong> are you excited for the Emerald Cup?<\/p>\n The post The Emerald Cup Survival Guide 2017<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
