The inaugural competition pitted sixty-seven Oklahoma based cultivators against one another to determine the best cultivator statewide.  Strains were graded on qualitative characteristics including appearance, aroma, taste and experience, as well as graded on total cannabinoid levels and adherence to strict Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority testing guidelines.  Through a blind judging competition, Oklahoma City based cultivator Stability Cannabis was voted second place for their rendering of the Platinum GG strain.

“Winning an award as competitive as the Cowboy Cup confirms that our innovative approach to cannabis cultivation is working,” said Austin Clay, chief cultivating officer of Stability Cannabis.

Stability Cannabis operates an 85,000 square foot indoor cultivation facility in central Oklahoma City, and is one of the largest cannabis producers in Oklahoma.  Stability has previously placed 3^rd for “Best Indica Flower” at the High Times Cannabis Cup, has been awarded “Innovator of the Year” by the Journal Record, and named the number one “Top Workplace in Oklahoma” by the Oklahoman.

“Central to our goal of patient-focused cultivation is our pesticide-free facility and food grade packaging protocols.  Our approach is unique, and we believe should be the standard nationwide,” added Clay.

“Austin Clay is proving himself not only to be the leading cultivator in Oklahoma, but also establishing Stability as a rising cannabis brand to watch nationwide.  As our team of nearly 50 growers under Austin’s leadership continues to expand, Stability’s impact on Oklahoma cannabis will only continue to grow,” said Stability Cannabis chief executive officer Denver Kitch.
