Cold Chocolate
Also known as: Chocolate Cold, Frozen Chocolate
Cold Chocolate Strain Overview
Cold Chocolate is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed through selective breeding to combine the relaxing properties of classic indica genetics with unique flavor profiles. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it has gained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive characteristics.
The strain is visually striking, featuring dense, frosty buds with deep purple and dark green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Cold Chocolate' derives from both its appearance—resembling chocolate with a dusting of powdered sugar—and its complex flavor profile. The buds are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a crystalline, 'cold' appearance that contributes to the strain's name and visual appeal.
Cold Chocolate is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's rarity means it is not widely available in commercial markets but is occasionally found in specialty dispensaries and through boutique growers. Its unique combination of effects and flavors has made it a sought-after strain for evening use among experienced cannabis consumers.

Cold Chocolate Strain Growing Information
Cold Chocolate is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and finish by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate, typically producing 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques and require adequate spacing for air circulation due to their dense bud structure.
