Chocolope is DNA Genetics' signature sativa, a cross of Chocolate Thai and Cannalope Haze that won a run of Cannabis Cups in the late 2000s for its unusual coffee-and-chocolate aroma and clear, energetic effect. It is a tall, long-flowering plant that rewards experienced growers with space.

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.
