CCX Launching the Canadian Cannabis Championship Mixer Pack April 2023

We are thrilled to have the Canadian Cannabis Exchange as a partner for the May 2023 Edmonton Grow Up Conference and Expo and in bringing our Cannabis Championship Mixer Pack to the Alberta retail market. The Pre-Roll Mixer Pack will consist of flower from the top 12 finalists, last year’s winner, and a selected Alberta Micro; expected to hit shelves in April. Thank you CCX, without you this wouldn’t be possible! The Canadian Cannabis Championship will take place May 28-30 at the Edmonton Conference Centre during The Grow Up Conference and Expo overlooking the beautiful Edmonton river valley.

CCX has built a wholesale cannabis exchange developed to facilitate B2B transactions in a transparent marketplace here in Canada and now expanding to international markets. With the ability to process trades and deliver products across Canada, CCX is the #1 solution for buyers and sellers to ensure they receive a fair, market-representative price. Using a customized commodity trading platform, they provide live market data, liquidity, payment and transaction services, and secure product shipment for CCX members. Book a Demo to see the platform featuring over 30,000 kg of product and over 1,500 cannabis, extract, and hemp listings.

Founder and CEO, Steve Clark first identified the potential opportunity for a platform, like CCX, while trading crude oil back in 2015. The cannabis industry lacked a physical exchange to efficiently trade wholesale Cannabis. As part of the management of an LP in 2019, Steve was faced with the challenge of moving those early harvests into the B2B market. This emphasized the need in the industry for a standardized and transparent exchange to help connect domestic supply chains in the newly emerging Canadian market.

If you need to buy or sell cannabis, CCX offers free platform access to all Health Canada Licensed Producers. Join under an Active Trader account to access a wide range of services.

Kevin Jodrey returns to Grow Up

We are proud to have Kevin Jodrey back to our show. Kevin Jodrey is one of the most well known growers in Humboldt County and is an internationally respected cannabis expert, known for improving and forwarding the modern cannabis movement

Kevin Jodrey is one of the most well known growers in Humboldt County and is an internationally respected cannabis expert, known for improving and forwarding the modern cannabis movement.

As a world renowned hunter of ganja genetics, Kev is fascinated by the search for rare, desirable, and marketable traits.

Kevin is the creator of Port Royal, owner of Wonderland Nursery, and co-founder of The Ganjier. He’s been a cannabis cultivator for decades, running this own operations and offering consulting services to the broader community. He’s spoken at universities, judged at the Emerald Cup, and consulted on cannabis related educational shows for National Geographic and A&E.

Featured in the New York Times, a pulitzer prize winning Washing Post article, countless other articles, books, and radio and tv shows, he is at the epicenter of the Green Rush (and graces the walls of the Oakland Museum to prove it) and is guiding the industry as it transitions to the Clean Rush – the sustainable movement of regenerating the land naturally through cannabis cultivation.

Ed Rosenthal, the Guru of Ganja returns to Grow Up

We are proud to have Ed Rosenthal, the Guru of Ganja, back to our show. Ed has been a long time supporter of our event and was the First Grow Hall of Fame inductee in 2019.

“The Guru Of Ganja”

Ed Rosenthal is a leading cannabis horticulture authority, author, educator, social activist and legalization pioneer.

As one of the co-founders of High Times Magazine, Ed writes the much loved and long-running cannabis column, “Ask Ed.” The column continues to be published internationally. 

Educator And Author

Ed Rosenthal’s Marijuana Grower’s Handbook, has become the definitive marijuana cultivation resource, inspiring millions to learn the best marijuana cultivation techniques. His book is the official course book of Oaksterdam University.

Marijuana Innovator

Ed is the founder of many successful socially responsible cannabis organizations, including; Quick Trading Publishing, focused on continuously researching and publishing the most accurate, up to date cannabis education,  Quantum 9, a marijuana consulting and technology company, Green Aid: The Medical Marijuana Legal Defense and Education Fund, a 501(c)(3), the International Cannabis Business Conference, and The Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum in Amsterdam.

Cannabis Activist And Advocate

As an internationally known cannabis activist and advocate, Ed views marijuana law as a crucial social issue: one that hit him personally.  In 1999, Ed was appointed, “Officer of the City of Oakland”, directed to cultivate cannabis for patients. Three years later, the federal government shut down his city supported facility. Ed was arrested, and put on trial twice for marijuana cultivation in federal court. Ed’s highly publicized trials shifted public opinion in favor of state medical marijuana laws, highlighting for many the fact that marijuana laws have become more harmful to society than the behavior they were intended to regulate.

Remo to Lead Cannabis Cup in Edmonton at Grow Up May 2023

Remo to Lead Cannabis Cup in Edmonton at Grow Up May 2023

One of the most iconic faces in Canadian Cannabis, Remo Colasanti is a man known world wide. His Youtube videos have been guiding growers since 2006 and he was one of the first Canadians licensed to legally grow Medical Cannabis back in 2001. Based in Maple Ridge BC, Remo and his wife Sandra have built Remo Nutrients – a complete system of vitamins, minerals, and extracts – everything your plants need and nothing they don’t. Started in 2014, Remo Nutrients has become a growers staple, used in grow rooms nation wide anywhere from closets and basements to full scale industrial size operations.

Remo Brands has been a supporter of many Grow Up Conferences and we are excited to have him on board once again at the Edmonton Conference Centre, Alberta in May 2023. Remo will be hosting the Canadian Cannabis Cup over the 3 day event including a flower competition and hash competition. Not to be missed, these judging events will take place outdoors in the Grow Up Consumption Lounge overlooking the beautiful Edmonton river valley. Legal producers participating in the Canadian Cannabis Cup will be judged live competing for the title of best in Canada along with an exclusive opportunity to have their product be in a legal product offering of prerolls. Recently, Remo Brands launched their flower brand, Remo Farms, in the Canadian legal market. They are currently only selling in Ontario, but they intend to take their products nationwide in the first quarter of 2023. Their focus is to help bring amazing new cultivars to the mainstream market and to highlight skilled cultivators using Remo Nutrients.

As for Remo Nutrients, the final testing is happening on an exciting new development for growers – a two part dry product line with a bloom booster that can be used in conjunction with (or without!) the current Remo Nutrient line. Look for this new product with reduced packaging to be available in summer of 2023.

Join the over 350K subscribers who have been learning from Remo with his easy going manner for over 15 years on Youtube. His videos consistently get thousands of views likely in part due to Remo’s love of smoking massive joints on screen and ending each video pointing at the camera and declaring – “It’s time to go smoke another HUUUUUUGE joint.’

      “We are incredibly excited to bring the Grow Up Conference and Expo to Victoria for the first time this summer.
