Strain overview: A spin on the landrace classic Chocolate Thai, Chocolope pulls in genetics from another parent strain, Cannalope Haze. This sativa strain holds onto the rich chocolate coffee flavor of Chocolate Thai while adding extra sweetness from Cannalope Haze. The high is dreamy and uplifting, and may remind some consumers of travels to Thailand when Thai sticks were available on the backpackers’ route.
Grow techniques: Chocolope grows well inside, but give it plenty of space as it tends to grow big without close training. Grow in soil or hydro, and top the plant to promote development from the bottom branches. Chocolope takes a good amount of time to flower but not as long as its parent, Chocolate Thai.
Flowering time: 8-9 weeks
Yield: High
Grow difficulty: Easy
Climate: Performs best between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Grow outdoors in a dry, warm climate, or keep this plant inside to protect the buds.
Indoor/outdoor: Though Chocolate Thai can handle high humidity, its large buds can potentially be ruined by mold in moist climates.
Feeding: Light to moderate feeding will keep this plant happy, making it great for novice growers looking to produce a sativa strain.
