The Ego Clash 2023 Calling of the Best in Weed Industry

The world-class cannabis competition set in the hills of Mendocino County, Gathering some of the best in the cannabis industry to compete in an America’s-Got-Talent style. Searching for a fresh potential super-seed in 2024

The Ego Clash Invitational 2023 is a private, invite-only global cannabis industry competition that includes the best indoor flower, the best outdoor flower, the best rosin. The winner received a custom Jerome Baker bong, custom glass joint tips from Rek Tipz, and undeniable bragging rights for life.

Stretched across four main locations (The Glass House, Hash House, Flower House, and The Cave), each spot seems to have a different flow of time. Spending an hour at the rosin barn is equal to two hours in the weed lodge and only half an hour on the dark side of the melt. Thankfully, you can catch a cart to ferry you between worlds.

Best indoor flower—Ego Clash 2023
1st—Eddy’s Lemons (Anudai Farms)
2nd —Blue Lobster (Maine Trees)
3rd—Zkittlez (Tornado Terpzz)

More than 30 growers entered the indoor flower competition. Entrants did a blind judging of each other’s work and awarded points. Among the entrants, pronounced lemon flavors and refined Gelato strains won the most points.

Eddy’s Lemons sounds like a reference to Eddy Lepp OG. Blue Lobster is a cross of Apples & Bananas x Eye Candy. Compound Genetics’ Chris Lynch—now at Cipher Genetics in Santa Cruz, CA—worked with Maine Trees of Maine to bring the Blue Lobster to the West Coast. While Zkittlez staying dominant with a 3rd place finish—capping another epic year from Hippie Hill’s King of Z Hill contest to Spannabis in Barcelona.

Best outdoor flower—Ego Clash 2023
1st — Lemon Cherry Gelato (Terp Mansion)
2nd—LANTZ (Ridgeline Farms)
3rd—Hawaiian Snow Cone (Xotic Flavorz)

All three strains have tons of crowd-appealing, sweet, syrupy, fruity, often creamy flavor with a potent finish. (As opposed to any terpinolene, myrcene strains, or linalool strains.)

Best rosin—Ego Clash 2023

1st—Optimus Lime #8 (Yeti Melts)
2nd—Kamikaze and Z mix (Pure & Proper)
3rd—Asian Pear (Jah Botanist)

Flavors of lime, tropical taffy, and pear emerged victorious in the battle for the best rosin. Yeti Melts bred their Optimus Lime in-house from Zeezy x Limeheads, so definitely expect some Z and lime notes in there.
