Yeah i decided not to chop for a while. Although the trichs are cloudy there still some time left. The leaves are really turning yellow on this one and i know it is normal but I hate seeing those yellow leaves . It makes me think they are sick when in fact they are just finishing. It the high humidity that has me worried. I don't want to get powdery mildew now especially just before this new grow.
Seeing as this strain is prone then i would rather stay on the cautious side than not BUT I'm not going to pick too early either and this would have been too early.
I love how resiny these ones get but its still not finished
Thanks for the comments. I can't wait to smoke this one. It really has an awesome flavour and aroma to it.
You're gonna LOVE IT!!!!

i vegged mine for too long, and ruined the yield. i vegged for 6weeks in 2gl pots and the plants really stretched. i currently have cutting from it in 4gl pots in bloom already at about 1ft tall. whereas before they were 2-3ft tall before put into bloom and in smaller pots. live and learn i guess. im expecting a big differance this time as far as yield goes. i also added worm castings to my soil this grow

i tasted roadrunner yesterday and goddam its awesome. terrible yield only 11grms dry but good as hell. slight fruity taste on the inhale. strong body high. nice auto flowering strain. wish i could post pics. think yield could have been better in bigger pots.

I was told, directly by the breeders at DNA, that all you have to do to keep the stretch down is supecrop. For those that don't know what that is, it's a pinching of the main stalk, half way between two nodes, near the top of the plant, as soon as it starts to stretch. As a result, my chocolope have never been taller than 4' and the yields have been adequate(40-50 grams under 800 watts). That said, chocolope is not supposed to be a big yielder, it's not a cash crop, but a connoisseur crop, meant to produce extremely high quality cannabis.

PS: The breeders also said that is your using organic nutrients, feel free to feed them all the way up to harvest as this strain sucks up nutirients.(which probably explains why it's so good.)

I thought it was supposed to be a commercial strain. Their web site and reviews around the internet all say "400-600g/m2" indoors

I think there was an article in Cannabis Culture where somebody grew a crop and got well over a pound per m2

I mean, that's why I bought it really. I wanted a big yielder with a good high and good flavor.

I would be in shock to see any plant grow a pound of weed. I heard there was a strain in Canada called Kong that would produce large amounts, but the quality of the weed was no good. If you want a cash crop you're better off with Chronic or a skunk based strain, not a haze, not indoors anyway. Outdoors I bet they can yield great, if you let it go until December.

I'm referring to indoors, under 1000w lights in an aeroponic setup ...

I guess "my grits cook faster"...I discovered when the trichs on my chocolope are 50/50 translucent/milky with some still clear and some amber, the flavors and effects are sweet melon heaven--and for me that happens to be around day 49 after going 12/12. Nice up effect with an immediate effect.

Now...for a kick I let one plant go 14 more days longer until the trichs were 25% amber and the rest were milky (no clear or translucent) and I got more chocolate hershey kiss flavors. Almost indica like, but with a huge "disconnect". Great PMS meds!

Big fan of super-cropping and the plant blesses me with over 75 gram yields. Being soil-organic--I nute the soil (not the plant) and never have to flush--even if they were nuted days before harvest.

Mine is so slow to flower. Last one in my garden to show buds. 14 days in.
