Chocolopez
Also known as: Chocolate Lopez
Chocolopez Strain Overview
Chocolopez is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Chocolate Thai with the indica-dominant Lopez. This strain represents a careful blending of sativa and indica genetics, resulting in a balanced hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain's name reflects its lineage from Chocolate Thai while incorporating the Lopez parentage, though specific details about the breeding program and timeline remain somewhat obscure in publicly available records.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure characteristic of its indica heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green color often accented with purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The aroma profile combines sweet, chocolate-like notes from its Chocolate Thai parent with earthy, skunky undertones from the Lopez side.
Chocolopez has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its well-rounded effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype expression and cultivation methods.

Chocolopez Strain Growing Information
Chocolopez is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, with proper care producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for spaces with vertical limitations. Chocolopez responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to increase yield. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in overly humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to overfeeding.
