Here’s a look at what’s new on the market for cannabis cultivators and connoisseurs.
1. Stay Grinding
$25, pocket size; $20, party size

The original Sweetleaf Grinder debuted at our Amsterdam Cannabis Cup in 2000 and immediately changed the way people break up their buds. It took home the award for Best Product three years in a row, but a slew of knockoffs soon followed. Even so, the Sweetleaf Grinder still reigns supreme due to its affordability, durability and ease of use: simply place your flowers into the smaller end, twist a few times and you’re ready to roll.
2. Nutrient-Rich
$25.99, qt; $43.99, gal; $94.99 2.5 gal; $139.99, 5 gal
