DNA's Chocolope - Page 13

I've grown this twice in the last two years. I can not emphasize enough, what a great strain this is. It has all the bases covered. Great Taste, Great Smell, Great UP High. To me it is the finest pot on earth. Sure there are better tasting or more potent strains, but none that is the complete package like this one. You grow this for your own personal special head stash, you bring it out at parties, concerts and other special occasions, but otherwise use it sparingly. I had the original chocolate thai and no other strain comes as close to capturing it, as this one does.

Yep, mine 2.... I've been using a 10% milk to water solution sprayed all over till they are drenched... it's worked pretty well so far, and you can use it till harvest. Hope that helps

Although when harvest time comes you can do that if you like. Or try and get that scope to work while holding it up to the plant itself. How goes the battle with your powdery mildew??

The powdery mildew has been a pain the last week or so, it's been raining here non-stop. I'm trying to regulate the heat in the room at night so as not to shock the girls too much, but perhaps help 'dry them out' a bit... They are soaked...

I got my microscope today and can see exactly what you mean about the clear v cloudiness. They are in week 5 of the flowering and clearly have quite a bit to go. There is not even a hint of cloudiness or amberness. They look like very tall little stalks with a glob of clear glue on the end...

I'm very excited for the next few weeks!

here is a side-by-side Chocolope phenotype comparison ... (current grow)...

i recently just dropped a few of those beauties in the dirt myself. looks like iam n for a treat.

Hey everyone,
I'm ready to chop down my two outdoor/indoor chocolopes today. They started off as clones indoors and went outdoors for the later part of the summer and now seem to be ready to harvest.
Hey Bobby , I just noticed you and you are from Canada. Yes i wouldn't have said this in my first grow as i seemed to have perfect growing conditions for this strain at the time but this last grow of chocolope I can definitely see she has a mildew problem. Considering this I would then suggest taking off as many of those dying leaves as possible or you will be suspectible to this Powdery Mildew. Very good point so i am glad that the solution was added to this thread so thanks guys. Due to the lack of a dehumidifier, my girls are certainly in this stage of consideration as you can see from the pictures. The leaves have no only gone yellow but have started to become moldish like and it my opinion, ready to chop.
I personally like her cut a bit earlier because her taste is so potent that sometimes leaving it too long seems to distort this awesome taste she has. Just checking her out today my fingers not only get sticky , they get covered in oil, literally. She is a real stinker but the smell is so pleasant.

Thanks for chiming in Torch That Bird. I have to agree with you completely in that i may have smoked something more potent but I don't think i have ever smoked something so special I'd consider it desert. Like Torch says, it is that special bud you want to pull out to impress your friends. THIS strain really is worth bragging about and I do not regret suggesting this strain to anyone. Yes she is expensive to purchase and does have some weaknesses but her strengths far outweigh any weaknesses in this girl.

Here are a few new pics taken this morning of the chocolopes i am about to pick. The trichs are ready how i like them to be and my taste buds are ready

Hey Ironman. I didn't notice you either or aep for that matter
Sorry. YES you are in for a VERY tasty treat indeed.
Ummmm.....I love this one
Ok I am on dial-up and these pics just are not loading on here. Its been about an hour so far. I'm going to come back and download them off of another computer as i seemed ot have forgotten how to do it on this one:
Oh my. It actually worked.
Also i would like to thank hank for the pic comparison(

Hank · 10-16-2009, 08:21 AM

ummmmmmm .... chocolope ....

i was thinking of periodically posting the side-by-side comparison as they grow ... what do you think?

Absolutely. I think it would be very interesting to see the differences in growth. My new strains of chocolope aren't going to be vegged under led's only. They are going to have a combination spectrum on them which i think will benefit them greatly. The do in fact like some of the UV blue while growing and it seems to be very beneficial to this strain to eliminate any chance of powdery mildew and yet they do not prefer full sun.
When I continue to grow this one outdoors I have decided instead of building one greenhouse, to go for different areas of my property. This way i can find out which are the best spots for me to grow. In the past outdoor grows on my property i have not had them in the best growing spots due to the fact that i try and hide them as much as possible. Here are a couple more pics . i hope these go through ok. This 2nd one i think i am going to leave for another week. one seems to be more ready than the other.
I should have taken these pics with the lights OFF so that the trichs show up more because they really are covered.

Ok forget these pics. I'll add them later

that powdery mildew sucks! i understand that you can try to control it with sulfur ...but control is what it is all about ... according to Jorge ... you can't kill the stuff!

get them used to the full sun more gradual maybe? my area is so arid ... i am trying to increase humidity so we should probably switch lights! you can use my full spectrum HIDs and i'll use those LEDs!!

but seriously ... if you are looking for real UV light ... especially UVB .. you can add one of those reptile lights ... those are made to put out UVB since reptiles need that.

i think that is a great idea about trying different spots for the outdoor grow ... though you can watch the sun and test the soil and probably find/make an ideal spot too!!

either way ... this is pretty fun and exciting!
