Method

How the awards are sourced

For every award listed, the Library Desk cross-checks at least one of three sources: original competition results (High Times print archive scans, Spannabis published winner lists, Emerald Cup downloadable result decks, Karma Cup judging recaps), the breeder of record's own catalogue at the time of the win, and at least one independent third-party reference such as a seedfinder.eu strain record or a contemporary trade magazine review. Awards announced verbally on social media, in podcasts, or in unattributed forum posts are not added. Competition names are kept as they appeared at the time of the win. Place values are recorded only when the original source listed a numbered placement.

Lockbox Seeds is an independent reference and is not affiliated with High Times, Spannabis, the Emerald Cup, the Karma Cup, or any breeder named on this page. Award records reflect publicly documented placements as of the review date and may be revised when corrections are received. Cannabis seeds are sold as collectible souvenirs in many jurisdictions; check local law before germinating.
