i don't do the pic thing for security reasons but, everything else i have you covered. chocolate rain is an elite strain so, clone and make sure you keep this strain. i'm kicking myself right now because, i thought esko would of kept this in stock but, now i have to wait until the second batch. it's sold out for a reason. ok, i had 6 females out of the pack, all were uniform christmas trees untopped the only difference being in yield(very slight at best). 3gal pots the smallest i had was 46in and the tallest was 52in. they had a nice sativa stretch but, i lst'd until week 3 them released them. branches were very strong, nothing but chocolate spears on the whole plant. dense and phat. 5-6 wks in that's when the chocolate aromas came out and continued to get louder and louder and LOUDER. i grow in coco and use the house and garden complete line, liquid karma, humbodlt honey, purple max, and sm-90 when you have a sativa leaning strain you want to go easy on the nutrients. that's what sannie and esko say for their sativa leaning strains but, she destroyed everything i threw at her. i mix my nutes in the 2 1/2 gal distilled water containers from the grocery store and i would feed the other plants with normal strength but, i'd add more water to knock down my ppm's for the choc rains. i was lazy on a couple of occasions and just feed them the normal strength and they took it like it was nothing. i think they went 10wks but, i'm sure they could of went at least another 2 wks. i harvested them in the 3rd week of august, i think, and when i did i took them a little early. smoke was still stellar. i had one pheno that tasted just like a caramel chew. my clientele went nuts for this. dried herb was extra loud, sour D LOUD! smell was a strong mix of musky fruit cocoa, if that makes sense. smoke was chocolate all the way. everyone in my circle is a heavy weight smoker and when i came out with this it caused quite a commotion. had chem D and extrema right beside it. the D and extrema out frosted it but, not by much. chocolate rain killed them both in yield and flavor. high i don't like to compare because, they're totally different ends of the spectrum and i did take them a little early and the D and extrema were extra crispy when i took them but, the high was extremely potent, just racy and extra creepy. probably because, i took them so early. creepy like when you're drinking while sitting down and you think you're alright but, when you get up you better sit your ass down and get yourself together type of highs. let me summarize:
great plant for topping and lst
tall and branches like a christmas tree(3x stretcher)
flowering smell-chocolate fruit
dried smell-chocolate fruit
taste-chocolate slight fruit under tone
yield-very high
bag appeal-great (people would choose this over chem D)
world class strain
legal you have some gems in your possession. there's alot of people in this world who want those beans(myself included, lol). grow that shit and you love every bit of it. that's one of those hybrids that may become extinct if esko doesn't get them back in the shop. he hit the bullseye with that one. good luck and enjoy them
