They just vegged to long. Led isn't worth the investment right now sense I already have 3 1kw and a 600w hps
1k hps El Chapo run looking for a keeper
- Thread starter cfl...KING
- Start date
These El Chapo from the plug seed bank have impressed me enough so far I just got my order for their baklava (gelato x wedding cake). Also got peyote Zkittles coming in for next run. I believe I'm going to be running some test seeds too. I started building my new flower room, lumber got so dam expensive. Hopping to have it finished mid August. So I can move these El Chapos into the new room an start vegging in this room. Turning it into a veg/mom room with a 600w mh.
Fell like I'm talking to myself 
lol. Week 5 begins today woot woot, they get hit with pk 13/14 tomorrow. Here's one of the plants I had to pinch an almost broke the top off, had to use the aluminum tape to help it hold it's weight an not fall off. Making a spectacular recovery if I do say so mys

Day 32, these 2 are looking like the heavy yielders of the bunch. Also have my eyes on 3 others. Yeild may be less due to them being smaller but still filling out nice an super frosty! Gonna let them start to fill out before more pics

Plants look dialed in. Nice color to them.
If the amount of frost they have now is any indication, you should have something good to smoke in the weeks to come.
Nice grow...K+

Thanks man, I got them dialed in right around flower. They are hungry girls I was afraid of burning them when they were smaller. The deep color an vigorous growth came when I went from 15ml to 25ml coco A&B
Morning of Day 37 last few plants will get their 2nd dose of pk 13/14 today. Then I will do a moderate flush with just a 1/2 strength A&B next watering, then back to normal flower nutes untill it's time for the final. Sorry for the poor quality, my camera wouldn't focus in the low light

Looking good, bro. nice thread!
I'm smoking El chapo atm and its very nice weed. Lots of resin and still a very smooth smoke with a lovely taste and nice high. But I only had one plant. I'm sure you'll have some variation in yours. They do look a lot like mine though. Enjoy the grow and the results.I really like it. I might post a pic later when I grab some for a mix if that's ok
Cheers,stiff

Would love to see your finished buds! Post up some dry nug shots!!
Right now I have 4-5 definite keepers an another an my eyes on another 3. Those will all be ran again in bigger pots under a 1k(had to dim my 1k to 600 because of the stretch). While all the buds look similar, there's about 6 different smells between them all. From one that's sweet to a few pure Sour diesel, one smells like Sour candy almost like a sour patch kid where you make a face when you smell/taste it, then one that is burnt rubber mixed with Diesel. Overall that's almost a 50% keeper rate. I will only be keeping 2 max for mother's after then next run when I test out the clones from the 4-8 plants I have picked out so far. Definitely will need to plan out veg time better!
Those look beautiful, looks like you got the purple pheno which I heard is one of the good finds.
The ones I have picked out have some dense nugs. Also not optimal grow sense they stretched up to the light. I'll weight on "counting my chickens" untill the grow is finished. I will say for having the light turned down to 600w they look good so far. Definitely have 3 that stand out from the rest size wise, lucky 2 or the 3 are super frosty an smell like pure sour diesel. Post #24 the first 2 pics
Day 40, I don't know if it's the 2 doses of pk 13/14 they got or if it's just that time, buds are swelling and all are rock hard nugs(in a good way). I have 5 definite keepers now an 3 more potential keepers. Sorry for the lower quality pics, my hands are really shaky today
They are all green. Being so close to the light it makes the leaves look light green but when the light is off they are all the same color. Zero purple just dark green leaves an light green bud
Weight is really building, gonna have to dig out the stakes tomorrow!!! They responded beautifully to 2 doses of pk 13/14 at 6-7ml per gallon. The pics don't do justice, I'm gonna have to bring a soda can down with me for comparison
Day 42 an dam do we have some leaners! Going to leave them in place an just brace up the ones on the outside for now. End of week 7 I will be doing a lot of defoliation to allow the lower buds to ripen at the same rate as the top. The say it's a 9-10 week strain, right now it's looking like most will be 9. Need to order a new scope, just going by the hairs right now. Good part is the 5 keepers are all looking like 9 week phenos. The other 3 I have my eye on could go either way right now. But overall they are all bulking nicely an super frosty. I'll get close up pics when I defoliate!
Start of week 7
Heres a couple lower branches filling out nicely, they are not as hard but don't feel like they will be popcorn fluff. Time will tell

Day 48
Well I'll start with some exciting news, one of the plants has changed smells an is what I would say is almost a true og Kush, it's been one of my keepers all along but just recently the smell has purified into OG.
Also I believe I have found my almost pure ECSD pheno, while it has been a stand out for some time it's smell is getting more an more diesel by the day!
