Cacao – 10 Month Since Transplanted

Cacao or Theobroma – 10 month since they were transplanted. Using FullOn by GrowSwitch as nutrient additive. And Fish water as the main source of nutrient.

This guys were fed with Full On by Grow Switch since they were transplanted on the ground. And seems like they’re growing much faster than the other one that is being planted 5 months earlier than them. They are 100% Cide_Free, meaning no pesti/insecti/fungi/herbi or any kind of cide…

Cocoa on the left hand side is at 15 month old and on the right hand side (CB) is at 10 month old

By the way , before we proceed, want you to take a look at this comparison between 15 and 10 month old cocoa.. As for me, seems like the 10 month old is growing more faster. The reason is that the older plant was 5 months without Full On, and it started to have the juice when reaching its 5th month. Anyway, check out some of the 10 months old cocoa I am also referring to …

CA, is more like always dormant, but when it wakes up. It really and always going/gone crazy. It’s either it flashes more shoots, or popping more flowers. This plants don’t seem to cease producing flowers even if they’re still at an early stage. They will only stop flowering for a week or so, and then goes back popping again.

That’s it!

The next update of them is when they started to bear fruits.  And I am excited and can’t wait the moment it will happen. (Will leave them cocoa plants/crops for awhile so they can have all the time they need for the next stage).

So, I am a first time cocoa grower (newbie), it’s my 1st year in this industry. And obviously my plants are looking great, and it’s more like it’s just easy to grow them and get results like what I’ve had got, but the truth is that, it’s more because of Full On by Grow Switch. I know most of you guys won’t believe me, but it’s cool. I won’t force you to believe me either. It’s just the plants, they will speak for themselves. And will let them tell everyone how “The Juice” makes them happy by showing it to you guys, cause “Plants Don’t Lie”, don’t they?! CHEERS!
