Also known as: Chocolate Haze #1, Choco Haze
Chocolate Haze Strain Overview
Chocolate Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Dutch seed company DNA Genetics in collaboration with Reserva Privada. The strain was created by crossing two classic Haze varieties: Chocolate Thai and Cannalope Haze. This genetic combination results in a strain that combines the cerebral, uplifting effects of traditional Haze varieties with distinctive chocolate and earthy flavor notes. The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s and has remained a favorite among sativa enthusiasts for its balanced effects and unique flavor profile.
Visually, Chocolate Haze plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, elongated structure typical of sativa varieties. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can develop under cooler temperatures. The buds are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast with the green foliage. The strain's name derives from its distinctive aroma and flavor profile, which combines sweet chocolate notes with earthy, spicy undertones characteristic of Haze genetics.
Chocolate Haze is known for its relatively long flowering period, which is common among pure sativa strains. The plants tend to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, requiring careful height management in indoor grows. Despite its sativa dominance, the effects are often described as more balanced than traditional Haze strains, providing cerebral stimulation without excessive anxiety that some users experience with pure sativas. The strain has won several awards in cannabis competitions, including recognition for its unique flavor profile and quality of effects.

Chocolate Haze Strain Growing Information
Chocolate Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth characteristics and longer flowering time. The plants have a flowering period of 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and requires good ventilation indoors due to its dense bud structure. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250-300 cm outdoors, requiring regular pruning and training techniques like SCROG or topping to manage height. Chocolate Haze responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a longer vegetative period to maximize yield potential.
