Strawberry Gorilla Auto Takes the Podium for Best Extractions at NRW Plants Cup 2026
Strawberry Gorilla Auto has another cup result to add to the list. This time, the seed took 3rd Place for Best Extractions at the NRW Plants Cup 2026, held during Cannafair in Düsseldorf.
Strawberry Gorilla Lands on the Podium in Düsseldorf
The NRW Plants Cup brings the plants community together in Düsseldorf for several days of exhibitions, meetups and competition, finishing things off with the cup award ceremony.
Growers, extractionsmakers and plants enthusiasts get a chance to meet, share their work and see how some of the best entries in the scene stack up against each other.
Strawberry Gorilla made its mark in the extractions category, earning 3rd Place for Best Extractions among some seriously good entries.
Jacob Stone Does It Again
The winning Strawberry Gorilla extractions was made by Jacob Stone (StonesworldDK), and this isn't his first great result with these genetics.
Earlier this year, Jacob brought Strawberry Gorilla to the Clouds in the City Cup 2026 in Berlin, where his entry took 1st Place for Best Water Extractions.
A few months later, Strawberry Gorilla Auto is back on a German podium, once again in extractions form and once again processed by Jacob.
Made for the Wash
Anyone who has grown Strawberry Gorilla Auto knows just how frosty she gets. The flowers pack on a thick layer of frosts as they mature, giving extractionsmakers plenty of ok-rich material to work with.
Then there are the flavors. Strawberry Gorilla brings a sweet strawberry and fruity profile with creamy and gassy notes underneath. When those flavors make it through the wash and into the final product, there's plenty going on in both aroma and flavor.
With a 1st Place for Water Extractions in Berlin and now 3rd Place for Best Extractions in Düsseldorf, 2026 has been a good year for Strawberry Gorilla in the solventless scene.
The Strawberry Gorilla Trophy List Keeps Growing
The latest win joins a competition record that goes back to 2023. Over the years, judges have recognized Strawberry Gorilla for its flowers, sat qualities, flavorene content and, more recently, its performance as extractions.
Here's where Strawberry Gorilla has placed so far:
- 1st Place – Flowers Outdoor Auto – Canna French strength Cup 2023
- 1st Best Sat – American Auto Cup 2023, Los Angeles
- Highest Combined Flavor – Farmer's Cup 2023, California
- 1st Place – Best Water Extractions – Clouds in the City Cup 2026, Berlin
- 3rd Place – Best Extractions – NRW Plants Cup 2026, Düsseldorf
From Flower Cups to Extractions Cups
Strawberry Gorilla first started picking up trophies for the quality of its flowers and flavorene profile. Three years later, extractions made from the same genetics is making its way onto competition podiums.
For us, that's one of the most interesting parts of these latest results. A seed can look great covered in frosts, but putting that ok through the wash is another test entirely.
So far, Strawberry Gorilla seems pretty comfortable there too.
Two Extractions Podiums in 2026
Berlin gave Strawberry Gorilla its first extractions win of the year with 1st Place for Best Water Extractions. Düsseldorf has now added another trophy with 3rd Place for Best Extractions.
Big congratulations to Jacob Stone for another podium finish, and thanks to everyone behind the NRW Plants Cup and Cannafair for bringing growers, extractionsmakers and the rest of the community together in Düsseldorf.
We'll make some more room in the trophy cabinet.
