Chocolope NL
Also known as: Chocolope Northern Lights, Chocolope Northern Lights #5
Chocolope NL Strain Overview
Chocolope NL is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that represents a stabilized version of the original Chocolope, created by crossing the classic Chocolope with Northern Lights #5. This breeding project aimed to preserve the desirable cerebral effects and chocolate-coffee aroma of Chocolope while adding the stability, resin production, and shorter flowering time characteristic of Northern Lights genetics. The resulting strain maintains the uplifting sativa qualities while offering more consistent growth patterns and enhanced resin production compared to its parent.
The strain's appearance typically features dense, elongated buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, reflecting its Northern Lights heritage. The aroma combines the distinct chocolate and coffee notes of Chocolope with earthy, piney undertakes from the Northern Lights lineage. When properly cured, the buds emit a complex scent profile that transitions from sweet cocoa to earthy pine with subtle citrus notes.
Chocolope NL gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and reliable growth characteristics. While not as widely known as its parent strain, it has developed a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts who appreciate its cerebral effects without excessive anxiety. The strain represents a successful stabilization project that preserved the best qualities of both parent strains while improving cultivation characteristics.

Chocolope NL Strain Growing Information
Chocolope NL is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 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 regulated. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. Chocolope NL responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. The strain has moderate resistance to common molds and pests, though proper ventilation is essential during flowering to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with a preference for balanced feeding throughout the vegetative stage and increased phosphorus during flowering.
