Last time I checked it was a very limited release from dutchflowers. Something like 2 or 3 packs ever got released. Flowers in 60 days or less. Has a real sandlewood taste. Yields good. Gets you stupid stoned. There is some info around if ya search for it.
Its (Chocolate Thai x Indigo Diamond) x (Indigo Diamond x Chocolate Thai)
Here ya go from 3LB's:
Chocolate Trip was another variety that was a Dutch Flower’’s limited edition release. We really only remember one pack being sold, the auction winner being a CannabisWorld personality known as “Katsu Bluebird”. Katsu, an almost certain “player” in most Dutch Flower’’s auctions on C-Bay, is an example of a true cannabis connoisseur who developed a taste for only the finest. It also must be said that the entire Cannabis community was very fortunate that Katsu was interested in Dutch Flower’’s genetics, because he was also a kind and generous soul who was very sharing.
A good buddy of ours who is a disabled military veteran ended up receiving a cutting of Chocolate Trip from the friend of a friend, so this is our first report to be based on his experience. This particular old friend was a world traveler who likely saw more in his stint in the military than most folks will ever see in entire lives. He was also a former moderator at Cannabis World, and we’’ve also been told he was an original member of a now defunct seed company called the3Cz’’s, who specialized in selling S1’s of “classic” clones like Bubba Kush and Cali-O.
Certainly with that kind of background we’’d consider him well qualified to judge the medicinal quality of any variety he might encounter. The description he gave us of Chocolate Trip was absolutely glowing. There was no doubt in his mind that the “Katsu cut” of Chocolate Trip was the best plant in his garden. It’’s medicinal effectiveness for killing chronic pain was quite good, yet it left him alert and lucid and wanting to be active, not like Herijuana that sat him down and put him to sleep. It would appear that this is another Dutch Flower’’s creation that lived up to it’’s description.
One final note on Chocolate Trip, we aren’’t aware that F2’s of this variety were ever made or released. Katsu was many wonderful things, but he wasn’’t a breeder, so to the best of our knowledge this strain lives on only as an “elite clone”, or in poly hybrids. Sadly, Dutch Flower’’s work was not as well preserved in all cases as we might wish, but that’’s a statement we’’ll likely be making more than once as we continue to explore medicinally effective cannabis varieties.
Chocolate Trip description
CHOCOLATE TRIP
Chocolate Trip will please indoor growers looking for exotic sativa quality in a highly manageable hybrid exhibiting the curiously strong chocolaty sweetness and brain-wiring psychoactivity of fabled Chocolate Thai pure landrace. Chocolate Trip’s stocky, tight-noded phenotype thrives under indoor lighting, and will reward with an abundant yield of dense buds of top notch headstash quality.
We obtained Chocolate Thai from growers in Hawaii (who also sourced our Lemon Thai, already offered here). The Chocolate Thai had a classically thunderous, soaring high that immediately won everyone’s preference. Unfortunately, the superb quality came with a 14 week flowering period price tag. The buds were incredibly aromatic and resin coated, but very spindly, with strings venturing on their own out of the thin main floral cluster, giving it an overall skimpy braided look. Curious structure, definitely landrace looking, but hardly productive even outdoors. Our Chocolate Thai source had warned that to obtain a reasonable yield outdoors, his method was to crowd many plants in a limited space outdoors, in a style reminiscent of hemp grown for fiber.
While the Lemon Thai only needed heavy parent selection, the Chocolate Thai demanded a lot of work to make it worth growing for the indoor grower. We used an Indigo Diamond female crossed to a male Chocolate Thai and selected the best female out of over a hundred seedlings. This female was then pollinized with a pollen pool composed of the three best males of a twin cross where the roles were reversed, i.e. a Chocolate Thai mother crossed with an Indigo Diamond male.
The resulting Chocolate Trip passes with flying colours the flowering time and yield breeding goals: it takes around 50 days or less to flower, and is an extremely generous producer of hefty, thick buds that carry the trademark spicy sweetness of the Chocolate Thai. As a result of heavy selection, the Chocolate Trip exhibits an amazingly short and bushy phenotype: will finish under a meter (40 inches) tall if flowering is induced at 16 inches. This plant will yield an average of 4.5 ounces of exceptionally aromatic buds that retain the vanilla candy taste and trippy psychoactivity of the Chocolate Thai.
The Chocolate Thai has passed all its extreme sweetness and spicy exotic taste on to our Chocolate Trip. The taste is exceedingly sweet, and flavor is highly appealing with a very strong vanilla note over a peanut butter background. It is this extreme vanilla sweetness over a peanutty base that brings the smell so close to chocolate, although we are sure that the uncanny chocolate smell in some imported Thai is the result of a peculiar curing procedure that may include substances unrelated to cannabis.
Chocolate Trip’s Indica base hits very hard, but still gives an extremely energetic, lucid, visual high. It has both a lot of “bass” and “treble”, yet the overall tune is definitely speedy, like a dance track. The Chocolate Trip prowess is to satisfy the Indica and Sativa lovers equally, even when it is clearly sativa dominant in both high and taste. This allows for a powerhouse high, but there is no “dumb” or “lock” effect: remarkably cerebral and active, with a knack for inducing visuals (as some smokers report colours).Stocky, tight noded phenotype, great yield, quick flowerer, Chocolate Thai high and taste with a hard punching Indica base make the Chocolate Trip an excellent all-around strain for growers looking for landrace qualities in an easy to manage plant.
