smokey the bare

Greetings all,


1) Strain: Chocolope

2) Breeder: DNA

3) Indica/Sativa: Mostly Sativa

4) Grown Indoors/Outdoors (If grown Indoors list Type of Light and Wattage): Indoors: T5 for veg, 400W HPS for Flower

5) Days flowered and trichomes color(s): 9 weeks, 50/50 clear/cloudy, no amber.

6) Medium used: Canna Coco. I found this a very difficult grow and couldn't really dial in the nutes properly. In the end out of 5 plants I had four males and only one female, the yield from the female was very low. Happily I still have about 8 seeds left which I will use on an upcoming grow. Since DNA no longer seems to be selling anything except feminized seeds for this plant my next grow will also place a premium on getting some seeds.

7) Nutrients: Optimum Coco Mix (Not recommended)

8) Curing method and time: 30 day glass jar, 10 mins burp/day

9) Type of high - Up/Down: Amazingly up. The real sativa nature of this strain really comes through. Good energy, not too much body stone, great conversational aid!, and overall lifting up.

10) Potency: Oof! Be respectful. Too much will have you seeing things (really). This really brings me back to the weed of the 60s and 70s. I only did hits in a bong, I don't think I would want to try it in a joint. Very powerful.

But amazing.

11) Brief description of taste/effects: Like Martian Mean Green this herb has a very fresh and almost woodsy smell. The fellow I tried it with said it reminded him of truffles. I had no taste of chocolate at all, but the smoke was very smooth. It was tried in a 12" glass bong, and a small quasi-vaposizer sort of thing.

The rise to the buzz happened fairly quick (less than 5 mins) and lasted for about 30 mins, before tapering off to an easy intensity that hung around for another hour or so.

Lots of smiles, laughter, music sounded great, and great for the munchies. This is not a "couch lock" strain at all, you will want to be on your feet moving around.

12) Medicinal uses: Unknown

13) Additional information: I am so looking forward to growing this again and getting a decent yield. It could easily become one of my favs.

Peace.

Congrats ojd on winning the top accolades at this years 4/20...

I just read your post and I think you should know a little about why ICmag and myself have not alot of love for DNA...

When D & A first arrived in the Dam a few years ago I extended the hand of friendship to them since they would often come by my shop there. They were sinse growers from the westcoast that had just arrived and I suggested that they should make seeds....

I drove them around to score some pollen from some breeder friends and supplied them with a couple of hundred powerplant clones and even a couple of lights since they were low on funds and I told them to make the 'Who's Your Daddy' seeds that I bought from them for several thousand euros to give away as 'freebies' thru seedsdirect and seedbay to get their name out there and establish them as up-and-coming breeders....

I also gave them some Cindy'99 seeds that had come from the Brothers Grimm (my favourite breeders of all time) and advised them that Cindy'99 was a great stable/worked variety that would be excellent for breeding purposes....

I suggested that they buy a copy of Rob Clarks book 'Marijuana Botany' and learn how to properly breed good stable strains since at the time they did'nt have a clue....as time went by I purchased some of their early crosses from them and they started to supply the Grey Area with something they called 'Cannalope Haze'....I tried this 'Cannalope Haze' and it was quite obvious to me that it was Cindy'99.....this absolutely appaled me, that they would take something I had given to them, grow it, re-name it and sell it as something that they had created without any mention of the Brothers Grimm who took the time and effort to create Cindy in the first place.....Reeferman was in the shop that day and also confirmed that this 'Cannalope Haze' was indeed Cindy'99.....so I had a row with them about it (Cindy'99 is my all time favourite and I knew about the work that the Grimm Brothers had put into it since I had followed this strains development and had sold these seeds for quite some time)...

Basically they lied to me and tried to say that it was not cindy and any grower out there that bought this 'Cannalope Haze' was obviously given the wrong lineage without any kudos to the breeders that originally produced it.....this upset me because I like to see ACCURATE REPRESENTATION of any variety out there....

From then on I did'nt want to supply their seeds any more no matter what money I could have made doing so since it was obvious to me that these guys were just taking other breeders hard work and renaming it as their own....I did'nt sell their seeds for years then I found a few packs of these early crosses in my stash that they had sold me not long after we had first met and DG suggested that we should get rid of them thru seedbay.....so I did and they publically accused me of selling something that didnt come from them.....another lie...

So are you saying that Chocolope and Cannalope Haze are also the same thing?

Yeah I'm a bit confused. What does Chocolope have to do with Cannalope Haze, or is that just a rant about DNA?

JUNGLEOFEDEN1

i think its a rant about dna in general?
