Genetics and lineage

Chocolope is a feminised photoperiod variety from DNA Genetics, classed as sativa dominant. The breeder lists its parentage as OG Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze. Potency is rated high THC (16-24%), which places it in the mainstream of modern genetics.

Planning a grow of Chocolope

Indoors, plan on roughly 12–14 weeks from seed to harvest: about 4 weeks of vegetative growth before switching to 12/12, then 8–10 weeks of flowering.

Outdoors in central Europe a 8–10 week flowering window means harvest lands in mid-to-late October — workable in a dry autumn, but a greenhouse or a sheltered south-facing spot takes the risk out. In southern France, Spain and Italy it is an easy outdoor plant.

Sativa-dominant plants stretch more and prefer slightly lower nitrogen in flower; give them headroom and resist over-feeding.

What yield to expect

The breeder rates indoor yield as high yield (450-600gr/m2). Treat these as the ceiling under experienced hands; a first grow typically lands at half to two-thirds of the figure.

Aroma and effect

Growers describe the terpene profile as earthy.
