Living Soil Cup 2026 · Bilbao & Berlin
A cultivation competition where grower skill and living soil decide – not hype genetics. Monster Soil by Supreme was part of the Spanish edition in Bilbao and the German edition in Berlin.
Craft · consistency · sustainability
The Living Soil Cup is designed by cultivators, for cultivators. It is not about hype genetics or expensive marketing, but about craft, consistency and sustainability. After a launch in the UK, the Cup expanded in 2026 to Spain and Germany.
That is exactly why we took part with Monster Soil: living soil shows what it can do when every grower starts from the same point and skill makes the difference.
Every entrant receives the same starting point. No head starts. No secret genetics. No shortcuts.
01
Everyone grows the same genetics.
02
A category-specific living soil or nutrient medium.
03
The same time frame for every grower.
04
Submitted for judging at the end of the grow.
Judging combines objective lab testing with expert grower evaluation: flower structure, terpene profile, trichome coverage, burn quality, curing consistency and more.
The Cup puts organic and living soil cultivation in the spotlight – a clean, regenerative approach instead of salt-based feeding.
All judging criteria are published – no mystery numbers or behind-the-scenes decisions.
With editions in the UK, Spain and Germany, the Cup connects growers, brands and cannabis clubs across Europe.

Monster Soil is pre-fertilised living soil with mycorrhiza and Trichoderma – a living ecosystem that feeds the plant from seed to harvest. Just water and light.
By taking part in the Living Soil Cup we put our soil in the hands of skilled cultivators, on a level playing field where the grower’s talent decides.
The Living Soil Cup stands for a return to craft, clean cultivation and respect for the plant. Read more about growing in living soil:
