MOCA Humboldt, Esensia, and Greenshock Farms are among the top winners.

The science-based competition evaluated cannabis flower across three divisions: indoor, mixed light and outdoor. Lab testing was provided by SC Labs, California's premier testing facilities, to determine the winners in 10 categories: Cannabinoids consisting of CBDa, CBGa and THCa, as well as Terpenes including Myrcene, beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Ocimene, Terpinolene, Pinene and a co-dominant category.
"Award-winning cannabis comes from the immaculate care, craft and skill in the drying, curing and preservation of the most fleeting quality indicators that cannabis produces -- which are the terpenes and other trace volatile compounds present in any given cultivar," said SC Labs Co-founder Alec Dixon.
MOCA Humboldt, a Eureka-based operation shined in the indoor cannabinoid categories receiving two Golden Bear awards. Similarly, Mendocino-based Esensia dominated the outdoor Terpenes division receiving two Golden Bear awards for Terpinolene and beta-Caryophyllene. Also noteworthy was Greenshock Farms which won Golden Bears for Ocimene and CBDa. For a full list of this year's winners, please click here.
"We love the science-based lab testing involved with this competition and are honored to be a part of the legendary CA State Fair," said MOCA Humboldt Vice President of Marketing and Sales Aaron Salles. "This relationship lends legitimacy to our industry and provides us an opportunity to educate people about the many benefits of the cannabis plant."
