Five Trophies at The Rooster THC Classic 2024
Sano Gardens walked out of the 2024 Rooster THC Classic with five awards and a renewed statement of purpose. First place in Disposable Vape, CO2 Vape, and Flavored Vape — plus third place finishes in Live Resin and Distillate Vape. Five categories. Five podiums. One brand.
The event, held March 28 in Denver, is one of Colorado's most competitive blind cannabis product evaluations. Judges score without brand attribution — just the product, the effect, and the experience. For Sano Gardens to take five placements in a single year speaks to the consistency of what's happening inside QCi Labs.
The Winning Products
- 1st Place Disposable Vape: Super Lemon Haze
- 1st Place CO2 Vape: Reba (PotZero) Cured Resin
- 1st Place Flavored Vape: Strawnana Cabana by Orchard
- 3rd Place Live Resin Vape: Super Lemon Haze
- 3rd Place Distillate Vape: Super Lemon Haze
Super Lemon Haze alone took three placements across format categories — a testament to how a single well-executed cultivar translates across extraction methods when the underlying science is sound.
Five awards across categories isn't luck. It's formulation discipline applied consistently across multiple product types.
What It Means for the Portfolio
The Rooster results validate Sano Gardens' positioning at the top of Colorado's concentrate and vape market — but they also validate QCi Labs' extraction infrastructure. The same facility, the same team, the same processes that produced these winning products power the entire SGB portfolio. That's the compounding advantage of vertical manufacturing.
