Chocolatto
Also known as: Chocolato, Chocolate Gelato
Chocolatto Strain Overview
Chocolatto is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Chocolate Kush with Gelato, resulting in a flavorful and potent cultivar that has gained popularity among connoisseurs. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the rich chocolate and coffee notes of Chocolate Kush with the sweet, dessert-like qualities of Gelato. While its exact origin story varies among different seed banks and breeders, most agree that Chocolatto represents a deliberate effort to create a premium strain with both exceptional flavor and balanced effects.
The plant typically displays dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content. The strain's name accurately reflects its aromatic profile, which prominently features notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and sweet cream, with subtle undertones of earth and spice. These characteristics make Chocolatto particularly appealing to users who prioritize flavor experience alongside psychoactive effects.
Chocolatto is considered a relatively rare strain compared to more established cultivars, with limited commercial availability outside of specialty dispensaries and seed banks. Its reputation has grown primarily through word-of-mouth among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its unique terpene profile and balanced hybrid effects. The strain's genetics contribute to its moderate growth difficulty, making it more suitable for experienced growers than complete beginners, though it remains less challenging than some finicky exotic varieties.

Chocolatto Strain Growing Information
Chocolatto is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds, monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, and providing support for branches during late flowering when buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
