L.A. Chocolat
Also known as: L.A. Chocolate, LA Chocolat, LA Chocolate
Overview
L.A. Chocolat is a 60% indica-dominant hybrid created by DNA Genetics through the crossbreeding of LA Confidential and Chocolope strains. This strain carries an impressive legacy from the innovative breeders at DNA Genetics, representing a perfect union between two of their most popular and award-winning strains. Chocolope brings its sweet, chocolatey aroma and energizing cerebral effects, originating from the cross between Chocolate Thai and Cannalope Haze, while LA Confidential contributes its renowned indica properties. The strain is celebrated for its complex flavor profile and potent effects.
LA Chocolat displays medium to large-sized buds that are formed like miniature pine trees, broad at the base and tapering to pointed tips. The flowers have a dense, tightly packed indica structure with medium olive green leaves twisted through with vibrant orange pistils. Translucent white trichomes cover the inner and outer surfaces of these solid flowers, giving them a dewy sheen and making them very hard to break up without a grinder. The strain exhibits notes of cocoa and coffee with smooth, nutty undertones, complemented by dank earthiness and rich spice and hash odors when broken open. This combines with thick resin production and heavy yields characteristic of its lineage.

Growing Information
LA Chocolat has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors with yields of 400-500 g/m² (14-18 ounces per square meter) under optimal conditions. Outdoors, the strain finishes by the second or third week of October and can produce up to 35 ounces per plant. The plant maintains a short stature due to the LA Confidential genetics, which prevents excessive stretching from the Chocolope parent, eliminating the need for topping or pinching. This makes it commercially viable and suitable for limited space cultivation. The strain is known for its resilience and ease of cultivation, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments with robust genetics offering resistance to common growing challenges. Due to dense flower production, proper humidity control (40-45% RH in late flower) and adequate airflow are essential to prevent powdery mildew and bud rot.
