Chocololo
Also known as: Chocolate Lolo, Choco Lolo
Chocololo Strain Overview
Chocololo is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive chocolate and earthy flavor profile combined with balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding projects in the United States. Its name derives from the prominent chocolate notes in its aroma and flavor, combined with 'lolo'—a colloquial term sometimes used in cannabis culture to describe a pleasant, mellow state.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. Chocololo's most notable characteristic is its complex terpene profile that delivers rich chocolate and cocoa aromas with undertones of earth, coffee, and sometimes sweet berries. This makes it particularly appealing to users who appreciate dessert-like cannabis varieties.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Chocololo has developed a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique flavor and versatile effects. It represents a successful attempt to combine the relaxing qualities of indica genetics with the uplifting cerebral effects of sativa varieties, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid suitable for various occasions. The strain's rarity in commercial markets means it is more commonly found in specialty dispensaries or through specific breeders.

Chocololo Strain Growing Information
Chocololo is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable 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 are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Chocololo responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F or 20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants benefit from proper nutrient management, especially during the flowering phase when they develop their distinctive chocolate aromas. Some phenotypes may exhibit purple coloration in cooler temperatures, enhancing their visual appeal.
