Genetics & Lineage
Reported by DNA Genetics Seeds.
Breeder-reported parentage; not DNA-verified.
Academic research: Booth et al., as cited, reported differences in terpene synthase gene profiles across eight strains, including Chocolope. (2021; citation)
Academic research: Nonfunctional CBDAS-like (subclade B2) pseudogene sequences were found in Chocolope, described as a THCA-producing cultivar. (2021; citation)
Academic research: The two Chocolope duplicates were assigned to the same mitochondrial haplotype group (group I), serving as positive controls. (2022; citation)

Peer-reviewed, open-access studies that examined samples sold or grown under this name. Findings describe those samples, not the breeder’s release, and may not match every product. Each quote is copied from the paper’s full text.
- Cannabinoids: Chocolope (3 plants) averaged 0.44% CBD and 5.65% THC (THC/CBD 12.84), classed as Drug type.Drug
“Chocolope | 3 | 0.44 | 0.02 | 5.65 | 1.06 | 12.84 | Drug”

- Cannabinoids: THCV was the least abundant cannabinoid in the extracts and was found only in the Chocolope ethanol extract.THCVEtOH extract
“while the least present was THCV which was found only in Chocolope EtOH extract.”

- Terpenes: The paper states, citing prior work, that limonene is the predominant terpene in cannabis strains including Chocolope.limonene

- Genetic analysis: The two Chocolope duplicates were assigned to the same mitochondrial haplotype group (group I), serving as positive controls.
“Duplicate cultivars (Carmagnola × 6, Chocolope × 2, Durban Poison × 2, Afghan Kush × 6, Feral Nebraska × 2 and Kompolti × 2) were assigned to the same haplotype groups (group I, I, I, I, II and IV, respectively) as positive controls.”
