How to grow Chocolope Kush
Taste
Seb's take
Kosher Kush leans this Chocolope cross toward the Kush side of the family — thick, dense, sticky buds, while the original chocolate character holds on underneath. Earthy, pungent, pine and sweet on the nose, with a sharp ammonia edge; the high is happy, relaxed, giggly and euphoric. Compact and bushy, and does not travel discreetly.
Where it comes from
DNA Genetics leaned the Chocolope line back toward the heavier end by crossing it with Kosher Kush, landing at 60% sativa and a distinctly Kush-influenced result. The chocolate character survives underneath, but the structure and the density are pure Kush inheritance. A hybrid that takes a haze classic and grounds it, with a small measure of CBD, listed at 1%, to accompany the THC.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and pungent up front, pine cutting through, with a sweetness holding on from the Chocolope side and a sharp ammonia edge on the top note. It is a rich, smooth aroma with a bite to it, and the buds carry it heavily. Not a discreet plant on the nose, and not pretending to be.
The high
Happy and relaxed, with a giggle in it and a euphoric lift that keeps things from settling too far into the sofa, uplifted throughout. The Kush side lends weight, the Chocolope side keeps the head engaged, and the two arrive in reasonable balance. Pleasant, sociable company rather than an early night.
Growing it
Fast and vigorous, bushy and compact, with a strong leaf-to-bud ratio that makes trimming easier and lets light reach the lower nodes, so the buds down the plant swell as well as those up top. Indoors she runs 100 to 140cm, finishing flower in nine to ten weeks, or by mid to late October outdoors. The record does not give a THC figure to quote, so take the density and resin as the measure instead: buds thick, dense, sticky, and coming in as icy as the first flowers form. Yields land at 500 to 600 g/m².
