  | Gd evenin I have googled all the genetics I have and could get (fingers are still crossed) in the attempt to find info on what my Ladies like and/or grow/flower times.. Chocolope a cross of Chocolate Thai x Cannalope (taken from KindGreenBuds) Cannalope Haze is what i've read is crossed with Chocolope - Type: 100% Sativa Marijuana Plant Crossing History: Haze Brothers x Mexican Sativa Indoor Flowering time: 9 weeks according to Cannabis Broker I'm not sure if diff breeders cross different plants to achieve the same result or if there is a standard, One breeder does the same as another to get the same strain. Hope this gives you some idea of each one.. Don't get me wrong, i'm no expert at this just a good googler lol Have a Great night or day don p.S. no .. no online journals for me yet not enough experience, just the journals I keep on my pc. and I live on the North coast of Oregon less than 30 minute drive to a beach but, I don't get out much anymore just stay home and  Peace and Goodnight | ||

Now this is interesting I figured that others already had their visions of chocolope as that is what happens when a strain creates a buzz I'd talked with bcseedking and they even said they were interested in producing something similar; not that I asked them to What i was basically wondering is if you couldn't take the chocolope female or male and breed it with another more heat resistant strain so that it would be good for outdoors HEY....maybe someone here at this site might do it OR maybe I just might do it  And just for the record in finishing off this report I want to add that there are a couple of dislikes about this strain one being that there is that odd phenotype in the batch and two it does not do well at all outdoors. I don't just mean the weak phenotypes BUT ALL of them. Today I chopped down the ones i had outdoors as i could not stand to see them shrivel up and disintegrate. It was starting to become depressing which is why I can't wait to get my new journal started. i will have where canadian genetics meets dutch genetics Good info you grabbed them camper Thanks I will be sure to write it down and check it out  | |||

Since I 1st started this strain review there were some things I did not consider that I think are very important to mention to conclude this strain review. I started out with 5 chocolope seeds; 4 of which grew very well and 1 that was more sensitive than the others BUT still produced the same top quality buds. (#1 fact) So basically, like other strains, there are more than one phenotype but 80% of mine were good. I germinated this is promix and vegged them under l.e.d. lights. Now i did not think this was relevant information until recently while doing an experiment. You would think that a strain whose partial parent genes come from thailand, would have great heat resistance BUT this is NOT so with this strain. L.e.d lights do not have the same heat that regular H.I.D.'s have so I did not really think how this strain might do under different conditions until my friend grew the same one until a high watt H.I.D. and had heat stress issues.(#2 fact) By heat stress issues I mean that the leaves will not be as flat as most other strain leaves are. They tend to curl at the edges due to the heat. Because i grew mine under l.e.d's , I did not see this but while observing my friend's pictures i couldn't help but notice this. So besides getting an inferior phenotype, you may experience this while growing her. Seeing my friends chocolope prompted me to experiment some more with this one so i could conclude this review with some hard 'known' facts. You may want to grow this strain further away from the light if you are using H.I.D.s. Closer for this girl, isn't better. Too close puts undue stress on her which you may not notice at first so i have added some pictures for you to see the difference in growth under different light conditions. I did not flower these girls under l.e.d.s but just h.p.s and they did fine. Although it might have been considered high wattage, it was divided throughout the room, which may have made a difference. And the third thing I would like to add is although some reports claim that it is best aged longer, I STILL think that is merely preference. Some of them I topped and some of them i didn't and i flowered them from 8 to 12 weeks. The ones i didn't top that were flowered the longest, i found the taste somewhat distorted, but I often find this with the bigassed buds. The ones that aren't quite as big and not flowered as long tasted the best and the popcorn buds are extremely tastey. This strain has potent flavourful buds all the way down to the very bottom so no space is wasted. Below are pictures of chocolope: #1- under l.e.d.'s #2- under h.p.s #3- -outdoors in partial sun...(morning only) shade for the rest of the day #4- outdoors in FULL sunEven with these facts known i will still purchase more chocolope seeds and spread the word This post in concludes this strain review as i still have more reviews to do. If you have any questions then please feel free to post them and hopefully i can answer them otherwise this thread is now closed | ||

| i found something that might be kind of interesting ... or at least it was news to me! I was perusing Volume 3 of the Big Book of Buds and was reading about True Blueberry (which Pesci is growing!) ... and i noticed this: "Some plants show variegated (crinkled) leaves that are a benign inheritance of from the Thai family" and the picture shows leaves that look VERY much like the "bad" chocolope phenotype. To me, this would make that bad phenotype well ... not so bad!  OK ... so maybe it wasn't that interesting  | ||

| Thanks email. I have recently tried the different phenotype and besides it having much less in yield than the main phenotype, it taste and smoked great. The buzz was exceptional. I believe it is possible to grow this strain outside but it just has to be under very favourable conditions. The one I have growing in morning sun only is doing very well outdoors which is comforting to know. I'm still sticking with the fact that this is the best weed I have grown. Yes all phenotypes might not all be exceptional growers but in my opinion it is well worth the rest.  Thanks for update email. That is good news. | ||

...I live in a very small studio, but I have great windows and a long sun exposure, so I tried growing some Choc from clones on my windowsill. I did it along with one Power Plant, just to compare. I have to say, the Choc did GREAT! All summer I would have 16 hours or so of sun, and the plants just ate it up. Each of them is about a meter tall and all look healthy. They just started to flower this week, and I'm trying to anticipate my harvest time. Early November?? I also read about harvesting by the full moon, but my '10 weeks' or so lands me in the middle of the month, while the full moons are at the beginning of the months.... Is this really critical? I'd hate to over-flower them 2 weeks for nothing. | ||

as for the moon ... i think it is erroneously associated with harvest times because before artificial lighting, and even to this day, farmers took/take advantage of the added light the full moon offered for harvests (the full moon extending either dusk or dawn .. depending)... hence the phrase : Harvest (or Hunter's) Moon... since during the fall (in the northern hemisphere) ... the full moon happens to come up either just at dusk or appears a few hours before dawn ... seeming to extend the "daylight" hours ... i hope that makes sense! | |||

Some of the stuff about the moon talked about less water in the plants when it's full and things along those lines. But I didn't think it was more than, 'If you're harvesting around the full moon it's fun to know..." Thanks again for all the info!  | |||

I found in the last few days some white 'stuff' on some of the leaves of my girls. I took it to my local grow shop and the guy said it was mildew and that I should treat it by spraying 1 part milk to 4 parts water directly on the leaves. I went ahead and treated them all, but I'm not sure if I have to repeat this and how often.... Does this make sense? | ||
