Chocolope by DNA Genetics
1 other breeder's version of Chocolope — compare flowering times side by side →
DNA Genetics created this absolute legend back in the 2000s when they wanted to resurrect those classic 1980s chocolate strains. They took an original OG Chocolate Thai and hit it with their own Cannalope Haze (Mexican Michoacán x Haze) to bring the flowering time down from the stratosphere. Back then, they just called it the "D-Line" in the test tents. But once people got a whiff of that sweet cantaloupe mixed with dark roasted coffee, the name Chocolope was born and it basically swept the High Times cups right out of the gate.
Any grower who ran the original cut will tell you the same thing: she stretches like an absolute weed. If you don't top her early or get a net up, you'll be fighting the lights for weeks. It’s got that classic, lanky sativa structure with thin branches, meaning you must stake or trellis those colas in late flower or they're just going to snap under their own weight. Despite the finicky stretch, it's actually super forgiving on the nutrient line, taking heavy feeds without burning too fast.
The final jar appeal is ridiculous. You crack a cured bud and get hit with this earthy, chocolatey melon funk that coats your whole mouth on the exhale. And the high? Pure rocket fuel. It’s that soaring, racy sativa head-stash that makes you want to clean the house or go for a hike. But watch out, because some of the heavier haze-leaning phenos will give you a fuzzy, daydreaming head-trip that completely wrecks your focus if you overdo it.

Growing Chocolope: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with OG Chocolate Thai or Cannalope Haze will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
