Trying to get everything going for vegging/clones/flowering. Thus I had to move cocoa, here she is in her new home. I also wanna say that I will be adding reflective tape to the walls to make things easier for the plant. Before taking her out: Kinda thought this was amusing: After: Still...

So excited! The little chocolopes that I had to give away cause they grew too fast, they were put near a window and despite being in very low temps due to winter, they have started flowering! This strain is supposedly an indoor only strain, but it seems to love the sun. I also want to mention...

I'm actually pretty curious how the main stem is going to heal up, it's still pretty exposed. May also try and take like 5-10 clones off it. There's 10 main offshoots off the main stem, but each offshoot has multiple clone sites. Will post pics if I do decide to clone in the next couple days.

Another update, just because I got my SD card for my new camera. Thought I'd show the haircut I gave this little lady, I also broke her stem some more, hopefully this slows her down a little bit. She's almost too hard to handle with my space at this point, haha. Hoping with the reduction of...

Time for an update: I just want to say, this is by far the most stacked plant I have ever seen or grown. It's odd to think that it's 95% Sativa(or so they say, I'm not convinced until I see it flower).

Thanks for the kind words :) In all honesty unless you have very deep pockets and don't care about yield as much as quality, I would stick with the HID lighting. If you have a large volume you're trying to illuminate, LEDs will be extremely hard to cover that area. For example, the 1w LEDs I'm...

Update time: first the plants that were all started under my LED light, they were planted in dirt and put in a plant room with lots of windows, even with subzero temps they started flowering: Now here's cocoa: In about 12 hours I will post more pics of cocoa(going to give her a good feeding...

Haha thanks for the encouraging words :) Currently I'm designing the best most awesome flower system for 1 clone it's gonna be off the hook! But everyone must wait until I get that up and running before I can start flowering, right now the mission is clones, and a nice healthy mother plant.

Went on vaca for a couple days and come back to this: Time to do some trimming: Look at the stem now compared to the post just above this one: Remember these plants? Grew these under my 53w LED:

This plant seriously grows so much it's hard to keep up with her! As you can see, stem is fattening up, roots haven't exploded actually(I believe they're more efficient with this strain, as my other strain had so many roots when it was at this stage in life), and internode spacing at the top...

Gave cocoa a haircut, trying to encourage side growth.

Update time: Due to the vigor of this plant I thought I'd throw up a couple more pictures of this plant. From my eyes, this plant was NOT the 95% sativa until I noticed how thin the right most leaf is. This gives me hope that she does actually have chocolate thai genetics in her somewhere...

Yeah it sure looks like reflectivity is going to be about as good as it gets with that! I'll be watching.

I like your reflector hood, good job. What kinda material is it made from? I've been looking for something like that in an aluminum form. Thanks :) P.S. Can't wait to see that CMH in action!

Update: I have removed 4 of the potential mothers since this plant has more of the characteristics I desire. One is good smell, I'm not 100% but I think this is the most 'chocolate' of the 4 chocolopes I started. After growing the strain out a little bit more I have noticed that the 'triploid'...

Update time: My mother plant is getting so big I don't know how to train her anymore. The stem is getting too firm to bend so I have absolutely no clue what to do. I'm trying to get my buddy(who has precious space that I don't) to let me flower her under 400 or 600w hps at his house. I'm also...

Just because I love this little plant! :)

New design change, thought I outta throw up some pics here: Basically, I took this cab and drilled a hole big enough for the endcap to a 3" PVC pipe. In the end cap I drilled holes for the net pot and and water tube coming from my 5 gallon res. I'm sure there's better ways to do this, but this...

Update time: I got some nutrients FINALLY, and I'll let you, the viewers, decide if they're doing their job or not. :) Still no water testing equipment, but I'll be ordering something shortly. Not much else to say..so here's the pics. Chocolope's first: Now the interesting thing with the...

The lighting is a 53.34w bridgelux LED, that's it! Why a white you ask? Well, I did a LOT of research on LEDs and I discovered this cool white LED has a slight bit more blue than a blue LED, PLUS all of the other wavelengths that having white light entitles. Also, this is one of the very few...
