About El Chapo
Billed by The Plug Seed as a signature variety, this hybrid doesn't come with a documented parentage, but it does carry a serious THC range of 22% to 24% and a longer-than-average flowering window of nine to ten weeks. On the flavor side, testers describe earthy, sweet, herbal and diesel notes layering over one another, a combination that suggests some old-school diesel genetics somewhere in the mix. Between the extended flowering time and the high THC ceiling, El Chapo asks for patience from the grower before delivering a potent, diesel-leaning smoke.
