Chocolate Chunk
Chocolate Chunk
Also known as: Choc Chunk
Overview
Chocolate Chunk is a pure indica strain developed by T.H. Seeds in Amsterdam, derived from Afghani landrace genetics. This strain emerged from classic indica breeding programs of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the goal of capturing the dense, hash-like aroma and sedative effects of traditional Afghani varieties while selecting for a distinctive chocolate-inspired flavor profile. The strain takes its name from both its dense, chunky bud structure and its confectionary aroma, which combines earthy, chocolate undertones with notes of coffee, pine, and hash. Chocolate Chunk represents a pure expression of indica genetics, tracing its lineage to the Hindu Kush mountain range where all Kush strains originate. The flowers are small to medium-sized with a dense, conical appearance typical of pure indicas, featuring tightly-coiled mossy green leaves accented by curly orange to yellow pistils and a generous coating of milky amber trichomes. This strain has become a benchmark for traditional indica effects, appealing to connoisseurs who prefer classic earthy profiles over modern sweet cultivars.

Growing Information
Chocolate Chunk is considered easy to moderate difficulty for cultivation, making it suitable for beginner to intermediate growers. Indoor flowering time is 7-8 weeks (49-60 days), with plants reaching 100-125cm in height. Expected yields are 400-500g/m² indoors and up to 600g per plant outdoors. The strain exhibits classic indica growth patterns with short, bushy structure and minimal stretch (20-40%) during flowering. It develops a main cola structure with dense, chunky buds and requires good airflow to prevent mold in the dense flowers. Plants prefer organic soil for enhanced flavor development and thrive in stable environmental conditions with pH between 6.2-6.8. The strain shows natural resistance to pests and common growing issues due to its hardy Afghani genetics. Training methods like topping and SCROG work well to maximize yields.
