Yield:Heavy yielder......do not have weight of harvest BUT it is hefty
Personal opinion:I am not the LEAST big disappointed in this one. I've waited patiently for her to show her stuff and it is as pleasant and trippy as they say it is. It REALLY does taste like chocolope and it is a LOT easier to grow than I ever imagined. For some reason because this sounded so good I figured it would be difficult to grow but it couldn't be further from the truth.
In researching harvest times for this girl i read one review from High Times magazine where the grower suggested in is better at 8 weeks than 9 to 10 weeks as suggested.
Then I read a review from a big journal over here and this grower states that it is better harvested at not earlier than 12 weeks . He said he couldn't really taste the chocolate before 12 weeks of flowering So I really think it depends on how long you vegged for and what type of lights and nutes it is getting. Not really sure.
All I know is that I am confident as ever in strongly suggesting this strain cause it is ALL that it is cracked up to be. If this is out of 10 then I give it a 10 . It delivers.
I have to agree with the other grower here that chocolope left to flower longer than the suggested time totally changes the taste. This is one of those unbelievable strains that is easy to trim, dry and actually tastes great as is before curing but once cured is a true delight. You too will become a total chocolope piggie
It also makes awesome canna butter too
The trim is like gold also
This tastes and smells a lot like the old thai stick but with a cannalope flvour added
I seriously cannot see how anyone could be disappointed with this strain. It is the best I have smoked or grown and I have grown a LOT of weed in my life and smoked for even longer.
