Here is what I found about Chocolope being C99 or a cross of it:
"When D & A first arrived in the Dam a few years ago I extended the hand of friendship to them since they would often come by my shop there. They were since growers from the west coast that had just arrived and I suggested that they should make seeds....
I drove them around to score some pollen from some breeder friends and supplied them with a couple of hundred powerplant clones and even a couple of lights since they were low on funds and I told them to make the 'Who's Your Daddy' seeds that I bought from them for several thousand euros to give away as 'freebies' thru seedsdirect and seedbay to get their name out there and establish them as up-and-coming breeders....
I also gave them some Cindy'99 seeds that had come from the Brothers Grimm (my favourite breeders of all time) and advised them that Cindy'99 was a great stable/worked variety that would be excellent for breeding purposes....
I suggested that they buy a copy of Rob Clarks book 'Marijuana Botany' and learn how to properly breed good stable strains since at the time they didn't have a clue....as time went by I purchased some of their early crosses from them and they started to supply the Grey Area with something they called 'Cannalope Haze'....I tried this 'Cannalope Haze' and it was quite obvious to me that it was Cindy'99.....this absolutely appalled me, that they would take something I had given to them, grow it, re-name it and sell it as something that they had created without any mention of the Brothers Grimm who took the time and effort to create Cindy in the first place.....Reeferman was in the shop that day and also confirmed that this 'Cannalope Haze' was indeed Cindy'99.....so I had a row with them about it (Cindy'99 is my all time favourite and I knew about the work that the Grimm Brothers had put into it since I had followed this strains development and had sold these seeds for quite some time)...
Basically they lied to me and tried to say that it was not Cindy and any grower out there that bought this 'Cannalope Haze' was obviously given the wrong lineage without any kudos to the breeders that originally produced it.....this upset me because I like to see ACCURATE REPRESENTATION of any variety out there....
From then on I didn't want to supply their seeds any more no matter what money I could have made doing so since it was obvious to me that these guys were just taking other breeders hard work and renaming it as their own....I didn't sell their seeds for years then I found a few packs of these early crosses in my stash that they had sold me not long after we had first met and DG suggested that we should get rid of them thru seedbay.....so I did and they publically accused me of selling something that didn't come from them.....another lie...
