Chocolada
Also known as: Chocolate Kush, Chocolate Haze
Chocolada Strain Overview
Chocolada is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive chocolate and coffee flavor profile combined with balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have been developed through selective breeding of chocolate-flavored phenotypes from various indica and sativa lineages. Breeders likely crossed strains with chocolate terpene profiles to create this unique variety that stands out in the cannabis market for its dessert-like aromatic qualities.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a dark green coloration often accented by purple and orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Chocolada's most notable feature is its complex aroma that combines rich cocoa notes with hints of coffee, earth, and sometimes subtle fruity undertones. The flavor profile follows the aroma closely, delivering a smooth smoke that many users describe as reminiscent of dark chocolate or mocha.
Chocolada is considered a well-balanced hybrid that provides both cerebral and physical effects. The strain has gained a following among connoisseurs who appreciate dessert strains and those seeking a flavorful experience. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Chocolada has maintained a consistent presence in certain markets and among specialty breeders who continue to work with its genetics.

Chocolada Strain Growing Information
Chocolada is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height, usually staying between 100-150 cm indoors but potentially growing taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture issues. Some phenotypes may require additional support during late flowering due to heavy bud development. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) can help maximize yields and improve light penetration.
