The cured buds have a particularly dank, earthy smell with some sweetness. Leaves are dark green and relatively loosely-packed although they can be very sticky, they’re typically easier to break up than pure indica strains and may or may not require a grinder. The result is a dynamic, energizing sativa that has won over many followers. In early 2019, CannaFrost, Alaskan producer and processor, provided us with samples that tested at 23.84% THC.Ĭhocolope has long, fluffy buds that take an almost cylindrical shape, unlike the nugget-like buds of more indica varieties. Breeder DNA Genetics created Chocolope as a cross between flavorful favorite Chocolate Thai and fruity Cannalope Haze.

This extended flowering period can be worth the wait: Chocolope may yield as much as 60 grams (or 2 ounces) per square foot.Chocolope, also known as D-Line, is an almost entirely sativa hybrid with a very complex taste profile. When grown outdoors, Chocolope reaches maturity and is ready for harvest in late October to early November. Parent strain Chocolate Thai is responsible for this lag, with a notoriously long flowering period of 14 weeks: the crossing of Chocolate Thai with Cannalope Haze allows Chocolope to have a shorter, although still significant flowering time of 10 to 12 weeks. Finally, this strain has a very long flowering time. Whether indoors or outdoors, growers who supplement the plants’ feeding regimen with nutrient mixes may find that Chocolope plants have an exceptional thirst, showing signs of nutrient deficiency until properly fed. That said, growers can tame the exceptional height of these plants by bending and pruning stems early in the vegetative stage.

Indoor cultivation allows for more climate control, but presents the problem of space. But although outdoor environments can provide all the necessary vertical space, the strain is prone to mold, meaning that growers will need to keep a close eye on growing conditions, especially in humid areas. As with many other purer sativas, plants can be very tall. Cocoa and coffee notes are more evident as smoke is exhaled.Ĭhocolope has some peculiarities that may make it a difficult strain for beginners to cultivate. The smoke from this strain hits smoothly - on the inhale, it bears more resemblance to parent strain Cannalope Haze and tastes mostly fruity with some hints of chocolate. When buds are broken up and combusted, this earthy scent is somewhat more intense. This latest record is nearly two percent higher than previous tests.Ĭhocolope has long, fluffy buds that take an almost cylindrical shape, unlike the nugget-like buds of more indica varieties. In early 2019, CannaFrost, Alaskan producer and processor, provided us with samples that tested at 23.84% THC. Similarly, Chocolope has won several honors in the High Times Cannabis Cup and the High Life Cup, and was featured on the cover of High Times magazine as Strain of the Year in 2007. Chocolate Thai was extremely popular in the U.S. Chocolate is a more unusual taste in the portfolio of cannabis varieties - landrace parent strain Chocolate Thai may have achieved this flavor through some combination of terpene production and terroir, picking up nutrients from the fertile soil also used to grow coffee.
