True Chocolate by Copycat Genetix
True OG × Chocolate Rain
True Chocolate is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Copycat Genetix, recognized for its rich chocolate aroma and resinous flowers. It blends the potency of OG genetics with the distinct flavor profile of chocolate-forward strains.
Appearance
True Chocolate typically exhibits vigorous growth with significant stretch, producing buds that often display a mix of green and purple hues. These flowers are densely coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted, appealing appearance. The buds can form elongated, spear-like shapes influenced by its OG heritage, or sometimes chunkier colas.
The plant's calyxes are well-formed, contributing to a desirable trim quality and highlighting the abundant resin. Pistils, often orange or copper, thread through the frosty trichome layer, adding visual contrast. The cured buds are medium in density, with a slightly tacky texture if stored properly.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of True Chocolate is characterized by prominent notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee, complemented by sweet earth and hints of berry. An underlying citrus-pine sparkle, a contribution from its OG lineage, brightens the decadent bouquet. Upon grinding, peppery spice and a subtle floral sweetness emerge.
On the palate, True Chocolate offers a smooth initial taste of cocoa and roasted coffee, transitioning to sweet earth and mild pepper. Citrus zest cuts through, providing balance. The exhale often carries OG-inspired notes of pine, lemon oil, and a faint fuel undertone. Different phenotypes may emphasize fruitier or more fuel-forward characteristics.
Effects
True Chocolate is known to provide a balanced experience, often described as a warm body relaxation overlaid with a clear, creative headspace. This combination makes it suitable for use from late afternoon through the evening, offering a sense of calm without excessive sedation.
The strain's effects are thought to be versatile, appealing to those seeking relaxation and a boost in creativity. It is often associated with an uplifting mental clarity that complements its physical calming properties.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for True Chocolate is not widely published, its genetic background suggests a cannabinoid profile that is THC-dominant, consistent with its OG and chocolate-derived parents. THC levels are generally reported to be in the 15-25% range. CBD content is typically less than 1%.
The terpene profile is suggested to include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene. These contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor, with Caryophyllene potentially adding a peppery note and Linalool contributing floral sweetness.
Growing
Growers describe True Chocolate as a vigorous strain with notable stretch during its growth phase. It produces resinous flowers that can blend green and purple colors, particularly under cooler night temperatures. The plant structure is generally indica-leaning in its overall form.
The strain is considered a connoisseur option that also performs well in production gardens. Specific details on flowering time, yield, and optimal growing environments are not extensively detailed in the provided notes, but its heritage suggests it may require attention to nutrient balance and temperature control.
Origins & Lineage
True Chocolate was developed by Copycat Genetix by crossing True OG with Chocolate Rain. This combination aims to merge the potency and resin production of OG genetics with the distinctive cocoa and coffee aromatics of chocolate-focused strains.
Chocolate Rain itself is understood to be a cross of Chocolope and Cocoa Kush, linking True Chocolate to multiple influential lineages including OG Kush, Chocolate Thai, Cannalope Haze, and DJ Short's Blueberry. This complex ancestry contributes to its unique chemotype and sensory profile.
