CAPCOMS COCOA GROW 2017

I am starting early this year. maybe 3-4 weeks left here for outdoor growing and it will be time to put most of it to rest. I will be bringing a few plants indoors for the winter and as such, my seed starts my be more restricted this year. Lots of white flies showing up this fall and I would like to check them before the indoor retreat. Aphids? Yeah, they may hitch a ride but they are of no concern to me.
 
Big changes to next years grow. going to container grow again, but I am upgrading to 10 and 15 gal pots. haven't decided which yet though. 10s are wider and 15 gal are deeper.
 
I will continue using Nectar for the Gods nutrient line as it has not let me down and I am making inquiries as to setting up a tea making process as well.
 
My seed starts will be determined by what varieties I can obtain in the next few months and my inventory. I will post a list of them shortly, as well as my extended grow plants.
 
Oh, why cocoa grow 2017? cause 95% of my grow this coming year is going to be chocolates. So I will be looking for anything and everything chocolate and high heat is of no concern.

Good Luck with that.
I think the only way that can be achieved is in Jan, you count 100 seeds and burn the rest.
 
I dont think I have ever grown less than 100 since I found this place.

I am giving away thousands of seeds :0
 
I'm sitting with 100 in solo cups, 6 in a ebb and flow set up, and 2 overwinters. I'm trying to figure out how to make it through the next 3 months without totally running out of space. The wife will kill me if exceed my 4x4 grow tent. I'm thinking I'm going to have to get another light and stack them vertically.
 
That's an amazing list, CAPCOM. Can't wait to see all this chocolate goodness!

I like rockwool but I've had the same problems. If I use the centre hole I just rough it up and pack it down a bit so it's concave. Less of a journey for the seedlings.

FINALLY!
 
Chocolate Reaper Hook!

I was worried that after so many weeks out on delivery they may have been frozen a time or two on the way but I'm glad you got hooks!
 
30% germ rate so far. If that's all I get, so be it. I'll still get pods.
I only need 1 plant to do that so I'm 1 to the good and a back up.


Plenty of seeds for next year. Pods for powder and maybe a sauce.
 
Transplanted a dozen or so plants tonight to 1 gal containers. Roots were beginning to form outside of the drainage holes and that usually means they are on the verge of root boundness. Yeah, I like to make up words sometimes.

This is the balance of the grow unless I make some last minute additions.

And this is what happens to multiple germination seedlings.

Thanks Frank. Once I get them all in 1 gals, it will be like reaching critical mass. Everything really takes off from there. And I go through a LOT more water too.

Cheers to a new grow season  !        :drunk:
 
What better way so spend an hour on a cold Saturday afternoon than transplanting chocolate gold?

Another week and all solo cups will be transplanted. That is about the time I will start my sale plants.
I have several late comers that I planted because I could not get info on the seed, that would precluded them from interest.
 
 
 
 
I dont have that thin of skin.
 
I am surprised, actually disappointed that no one has called me out on something in my grow as I deliberately made sure it was present in the pics.
 
Not being a degree-ed botanist, I still make mistakes every year. Sometimes twice.
 
someone point it out!
 
That was going to be the post, but then I thought, Maybe everyone thought I recognized it and was on top of the issue. And in that assumption, you would have been correct.
Still, we need to be critical of each other if only to point things out. Even the obvious.
There are stories behind the obvious that are immensely important to new growers who may not know or dare to ask the obvious questions.

88 plants so far. I have several duplicates especially in the chocolate primo and primo / reaper crosses. I am having spectacularly good results with this years CPRs. Still only netted 2 chocolate reapers but I am seeing a lot of 30 day+ germinations. So they will sit right where they are. Got 2 anyway and that twice what I need.

All looking great Jeff and I am pleased you have had some success with the Swiss Chocolate... a variety that has failed a lot of us across the pond ... great work

Since you mentioned it, yes, I have a few swiss chocolates going and going quite well. I will make a point of posting some pics of individual plants and start highlighting them now that most have moved into the gal pots. Had a little trouble early on with nuts as with in the past but things are adjusting themselves out nicely.
