Prize Sponsors: Trimbag & Homegrown Cannabis Co!

We are excited to announce that the prize sponsors of this year’s NYGC End of Grow Awards are Trimbag and Homegrown Cannabis Co! We have given out prizes from both of these sponsors before in the past, and the feedback has always been positive! We are excited to have another opportunity to give some of these awesome prizes away!

End of Grow Prizes!

We have some great prizes lined up for our winners! Two lucky growers will receive a Trimbag Original dry trimmer. Two more lucky growers will each receive two 8-packs of seed from Homegrown Cannabis Co!

Trimming by hand is easily the most tedious part of growing your own, but there is a way to escape from “trim jail”! Introducing, TrimBag! The TrimBag is a large canvas cylinder that acts as a friction trimmer. You load untrimmed buds into the bag, and then roll, spin, and shake the bag manually for only a few minutes. The interior canvas provides the friction to pull the leaves from the buds without damaging the flowers. With the Trimbag, you can accomplish a 12-hour trimming job in less than 1 hour!

Trimbag 10% discount code CCFC

If you’d like to purchase a Trimbag for your own grow, the best deals can be found on Trimbag.com. We have a special discount code! Use code CCFC to receive 15% off your order.

Featured Video

LEDs are the Present and Future of Horticultural Lighting! However, there is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about horticultural LEDS. In this video, I do a deep dive into the science of horticultural LEDs. I explain the Physics of Light Emitting Diodes and the latest horticultural science about photosynthesis, spectrum, and plant development, including cannabinoids. I also appear in person, on camera for the first time ever in this video!
