Chocolate Pie
A decadent cross of Chocolope x Grape Pie BX—blending legendary sativa energy with modern dessert-strain refinement.
What is Chocolate Pie?
Chocolate Pie is a standout hybrid from the master breeders at Cannarado Genetics. By crossing the legendary, award-winning Chocolope with the frosty, flavor-packed Grape Pie BX, Cannarado has created a cultivar that offers the best of both worlds: the soaring, old-school cerebral stimulation of Chocolate Thai lineage and the dense, resinous structure of the Grape Pie backcross.
While some modern hybrids lean heavily into pure sedation, Chocolate Pie maintains a unique "electric" profile. Growers can expect vigorous growth and a plant that fills out a canopy quickly. Sourcing a verified breeder cut ensures you capture the specific "chocolate-dipped grape" phenotype that makes this strain a connoisseur favorite. Starting with a clean, HLVD-tested clone is the best way to ensure these genetics reach their full potential in your garden.
Terpene Profile
The Chocolate Pie strain terpenes offer a nostalgic yet complex aroma. The nose is dominated by dark cocoa and earthy coffee notes from the Chocolope parent, immediately followed by a sweet, fermented grape funk from the Grape Pie. It’s like a rich dessert with a spicy, herbal finish.
Expect a flavor profile of bitter chocolate, sweet grape jelly, and spicy earth.
Growing Chocolate Pie
Chocolate Pie is a grower-friendly cultivar that benefits from its Grape Pie heritage, which helps tame the potentially wild stretch of the Chocolope sativa. Expect a medium-to-tall stretch that responds exceptionally well to LST and scrogging. This strain is known for its "Flower Power"—producing large, chunky terminal colas that are dripping in resin by week 9.

Flower Info & Bag Appeal
While not traditionally considered a "washer" strain for bubble hash, Chocolate Pie is a top-tier flower producer. The bag appeal is massive; the buds often display deep purple hues hidden beneath a thick layer of silver-white trichomes. Unlike many "purple" strains that lack punch, Chocolate Pie maintains a high cannabinoid concentration.
The cured flower is dense and sticky, retaining its chocolatey aroma long after harvest. It is a favorite for boutique dispensaries and home growers who prioritize smoke quality and jar appeal over extract yields.

Most phenotypes finish between 60 to 70 days. Allowing it to go the full 10 weeks often results in better color development and a more complex terpene profile.
Chocolate Pie is primarily a flower-focused strain. While it makes excellent BHO/Live Resin, it is not typically recommended as a high-yielding "washer" for solventless bubble hash.
