DNA Genetics
With D-Line, DNA Genetics continues their project of creating
tasty short-flowering sativas and reviving the classic features of
old school Thai stick. The strain’s father, Cannalope, is a sativa
line backcrossed for fast finishing. DNA refined this feature
still further, then crossed a Cannalope male with an Original
Chocolate Thai female. Tasting is believing: the result retains
the special flavors and effects of the OG Chocolate Thai, and
lives up to the nickname Chocolope in flavor as well as
genetics. It brings back a chocolate edge that was more
common among good weed of the 1980s, mixed with the fruity
sweetness of the Cannalope. D-Line is a branchy near-pure
sativa that will take over your garden if you let her. This plant
needs some space to spread out her long branches. Hydro,
coco beds, NFT, it’s all good: the Chocolope likes all mediums,
although she remains untested outdoors.
DNA vegetates the D-Line for 3-4 weeks and then forces
flowering, preferring to raise fewer plants to larger sizes. DLine is a happy eater and can be pushed when it comes to nutrients, although DNA recommends sticking to the organics
for the best quality. Using this combination of fewer but bigger
plants and organic nutrients, DNA reports an average yield of
100 grams (3.5 oz.) per plant. If you want to avoid a 3-4 week
vegetative period and plant 20-25 plants per square meter in a
more sea of green style, yields can reach 400-600 grams (14-21
oz.) per square meter. On the whole, D-Line is much easier to
grow than her Chocolate Thai ancestors. “Give her love,” says
DNA, “and she will yield for you.”
The D-Line still delivers traits many growers sought from the
classic Thai strains—choco-smokey flavor and a dreamy high
with a strong mental shift. If you are trying to alleviate anxiety,
nervousness, or lack of appetite, the Chocolope is your strain.
However, smokers who are sensitive to paranoia or psychedelic
effects might approach this variety with caution. Even
experienced smokers sometimes report unusually comic
situations due to the “high school” like stone of the D-Line.
Some consider this advice a recommendation: the chocolatey
1980s high is a euphoric and trippy blast from the not-sodistant past that can spice up any weekend.
