Chocolate Kush
Chocolate Kush
Also known as: Choco Kush
Overview
Chocolate Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish breeder 00 Seeds Bank. This strain was created by crossing Mazar (or Mazar-i-Sharif) with pure Afghani indica genetics, resulting in a predominantly indica hybrid with serious bag appeal. The breeders combined the high performance of Mazar genetics with the intense aroma and flavor of pure indica genetics. The strain has gained popularity for its distinctive dessert-like qualities and moderate to high potency, with THC levels measured between 14% and 28%.
Physically, Chocolate Kush flowers are small to medium in size and cling together in dense, popcorn-like formations with the solid, heavy structure typically associated with indicas. The tightly-curled leaves are a mossy shade of green and are shot through with curly orange pistils. Occasionally, phenotypes also boast faint shades of purple in their leaves, caused by anthocyanins that reveal blue and purple patches when agitated by cold weather during cultivation. The strain is known for its exceptional trichome production and resinous buds.
Chocolate Kush has earned recognition as a well-balanced indica that delivers both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits. The strain is considered one of the easiest strains to grow in the cannabis kingdom, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. Its combination of manageable growing characteristics, distinctive flavor profile, and consistent effects has made it a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide.

Growing Information
Chocolate Kush is considered beginner-friendly and relatively easy to cultivate. Indoor cultivation produces plants 70-100cm tall with flowering times of 8-9 weeks (55-65 days). Expected indoor yields range from 350-550 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can reach 180-250cm in height and are typically ready for harvest in early October, producing up to 400 grams per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures around 70-85°F and humidity levels of 40-70%. Plants respond well to training techniques including LST, topping, and SCROG methods. The strain is noted for its robust structure, mold resistance, and Christmas tree-like growth pattern with dense, resinous colas.
