What is the Chocolope strain?
Chocolope is a sativa-dominant strain (about 95% sativa) from DNA Genetics in Amsterdam, bred from an OG Chocolate Thai and the breeder's Cannalope Haze. DNA made it as a tribute to the chocolate-scented Thai sativas of the 1980s and backcrossed it so it finishes far sooner than a pure Thai. Chocolope flowers in about 8 to 10 weeks indoors, usually tests around 17–20% THC with little CBD, and is known for a mocha aroma and a fast, upbeat head high.
Ratio from DNA Genetics' listing on SeedFinder. Some seed banks round it to 90% sativa.
Chocolope's dark chocolate, coffee and earth smell is rare among sativas, which usually lean citrus or pine.

Where does the Chocolope strain come from?
Chocolope was bred by DNA Genetics, the Amsterdam team of Don and Aaron, who crossed an OG Chocolate Thai with their own Cannalope Haze. Cannalope Haze itself comes from a Haze Brothers line crossed with a Mexican sativa, so Chocolope is almost entirely tropical sativa genetics. DNA then backcrossed the hybrid to keep the Chocolate Thai flavor while bringing the bloom down to roughly two months.
Chocolope became one of DNA Genetics' most decorated strains. The breeder's award list on SeedFinder and Cannabis Cup Winners records first place in the hydro category at the 2008 Highlife Cup, second place in the sativa category at the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup and second place in the outdoor category at Spannabis 2011, among other placings from 2007 onward.
Why does Chocolope smell like chocolate?
Chocolope's chocolate smell is inherited from its Chocolate Thai mother, a Thai sativa that was prized in the 1980s for its cocoa-like aroma. The original Chocolate Thai was slow to finish and hard to find, so DNA Genetics bred Chocolope to bring that scent back in a plant that suits modern indoor grows. Growers say the dried and jarred buds smell of dark chocolate and roasted coffee over an earthy, woody base.
Not every plant is equally chocolatey. Some Chocolope plants lean more toward coffee and earth, while others carry the Haze side's sweeter, spicier notes. Curing for several weeks usually brings the chocolate forward.
How does Chocolope taste and smell, and what is the high like?
Aroma and flavor
Chocolope tastes of dark chocolate and coffee with earthy, woody undertones, and some phenotypes add a light sweetness or hashy spice from the Haze side.
- Dark chocolate
- Coffee
- Earth
- Wood
- Sweet
- Hash
Terpenes
- Terpinolene
- Herbal, slightly floral; Leafly lists it as the leading terpene
- Myrcene
- Earthy, musky depth under the cocoa notes
- Ocimene
- Sweet, woody and green
Chocolope's terpene ranking differs between sources; some list limonene or caryophyllene among its top three.
Reported effects
People who try Chocolope most often describe a fast, energetic and euphoric high that feels cerebral at first and turns calmer and more relaxed as it fades. Reviews on SeedFinder mention that the effect lasts a long time.
- Energetic
- Euphoric
- Uplifted
- Creative
- Happy
Dry mouth and dry eyes come up most in Chocolope reviews, and a big dose of this sativa can feel racy or jittery.
This Chocolope summary draws on user reviews at Leafly and SeedFinder and on DNA Genetics' own notes. Reactions differ from person to person, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Chocolope seeds?
Chocolope seeds grow into a tall, fairly easy sativa: keep the vegetative stage short, top and train the plants to manage their stretch, allow 8 to 10 weeks for the buds to ripen, and grow them outdoors only where autumn stays warm.
- GerminateAbout 1 week
Chocolope seedlings come up with thin, narrow leaflets, the first sign of their Thai and Haze background.
- Vegetate3–5 weeks indoors
Top Chocolope early and weave the branches through a SCROG net or tie them down, because the plants grow fast and tall.
- Flower8–10 weeks
Expect Chocolope to roughly double in height after the lights go to 12/12, then build long, dense sativa colas.
- HarvestWeek 8–10 indoors · late Sept to late Oct outdoors
Harvest when most trichomes look cloudy, then dry slowly and jar the buds to bring out the chocolate aroma.
Grow tips for Chocolope
- Keep the veg stage short. Chocolope stretches hard in bloom, so many indoor growers flip it to 12/12 when plants are only 30–40 cm tall.
- Use a screen for even colas. The breeder says Chocolope likes to grow tall but can be trained outward, and a SCROG net turns that stretch into many even tops.
- Feed lightly. Like most Thai-descended sativas, Chocolope tends to burn under heavy nutrient doses, so start at a lower strength and raise it slowly.
- Pick a warm outdoor spot. Chocolope finishes from late September to late October outdoors, so it needs a sunny site where autumn nights stay mild.
- Give the jars time. Chocolope's chocolate and coffee notes are strongest after a slow dry and three weeks or more of curing in sealed jars.
Is Chocolope the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want a sativa with an unusual chocolate and coffee aroma
- Prefer an energetic, upbeat daytime high
- Like growing a well-known, cup-winning DNA Genetics classic
- Are happy to top and train a tall plant
Think twice if you
- Want a heavy, sleepy indica (Chocolope is about 95% sativa)
- Only have a low grow space and no time to train
- Live where outdoor frost arrives in early October
- Prefer bright citrus or candy flavors

Chocolope usually tests around 17–20% THC with very little CBD. A lab profile on SeedFinder shows 17.3% THC and 0.2% CBD, while some seed banks quote about 20%. Potency depends on phenotype, the grow and harvest timing.
How long does Chocolope take to flower?
Indoors, Chocolope needs roughly 8 to 10 weeks of 12/12 light, which is quick for a near-pure sativa. Some seed banks quote 10 to 12 weeks, so plan on the longer end for sativa-leaning plants. Outdoors it finishes from late September to late October.
What does Chocolope taste like?
Chocolope tastes of dark chocolate and coffee with an earthy, woody finish, and some plants add sweet or hashy notes. The chocolate side comes from its Chocolate Thai mother and grows stronger with weeks of curing.

How much does Chocolope yield?
Chocolope yields well for a sativa. Published indoor figures range from about 400–500 g/m² to 500–600 g/m², with buds that dry hard and compact. Training the plant into many even tops helps reach the higher end.
