Chocolate Thai
Chocolate Thai is a legend in the marijuana marketplace. Originally bred in the 1960s in Thailand, the strain became popular in the underground cannabis community in the United States in the 1970s. Growing Chocolate Thai gave life to the “Thai Sticks” preparation method, where buds were tied to bamboo sticks and cured, enhancing their potency and aroma profile. The mostly Sativa hybrid is a fan favorite for both old-school cannabis lovers and folks who are relatively new to the cannabis world. Even though Chocolate Thai has a lower than average THC content at 15%, it is sought after by users for its milder effects, especially among medicinal marijuana users. The strain grew wild in the mountains of Thailand for hundreds of years before it was gathered and grown for mass consumption. Very little genetic altering has been done to the seeds of the Chocolate Thai strain in order to keep it as close to the original Thai strain as possible.

More About Our Chocolate Thai Seeds And How To Grow Them
Chocolate Thai is complex, beautiful, and features a unique flavor and aroma that is unlike any other marijuana variant. The strain is exotic and has a taste that is similar to coffee, chocolate, and nuts. There are hints of earth and herbs mixed in with the sweet flavors, and the aroma is pungent and similar to the flavor. Every hit you take of this bud will be sweet with very little harshness, even at the very end of your smoke session. Because this strain grew wild outdoors for generations, it has a strong aroma that you can smell before you even break apart the buds, so be warned that if you have neighbors who live close by, you might want to enjoy this strain in secrecy.
Dominant Terpenes in Chocolate Thai
Chocolate Thai’s sweet chocolate and coffee taste and earthy and pungent aroma are created by its dominant terpenes. Its terpene profile is what gives the strain its specific flavors and scents, like nuts and spice. The science behind this strain is unique, and a better understanding of the genetics of the plant can help you choose the right flavor notes and aromas for your tastes. This strain features Myrcene, which gives it an earthy and herbal flavor and scent. Beta-Caryophyllene which is known for having a spicy and peppery taste and smell. You can find this terpene in abundance in black pepper, cinnamon, and cannabis plants. There is also Humulene in the terpene profile of this strain, which is commonly found in beer with high hop content and gives off an earthy and herbal aroma.
Energetic & Focused
The Sativa-dominant chocolate Thai strain features more cerebral effects than physical effects, as the strain is mostly Sativa, with 10% of its makeup being Indica, meaning that the mental effects are far more prominent in this bud. Chocolate Thai is a perfect example of a wake-and-bake strain as it will energize your mind and body while causing you to focus on the task at hand. The strain will also make you happier and more social, helping you to get out of the house and enjoy your surroundings, whether that be at the park or at brunch with friends. You will feel more creative and uplifted, so the strain is a perfect fit for artists and creative types hoping to access the parts of their brains that affect their work. When it comes to the energy this strain provides, many users liken it to a strong cup of coffee.
Thailand’s Finest
The Chocolate Thai strain of cannabis is known more for its taste and aroma than it is for its potency. Because it grew wild for so many years and had to be adjusted to fit home grows, the yields of this strain are about average, but it takes more time to grow than other similar strains. If you are growing your cannabis indoors, you can expect to harvest around 275 grams per square meter. If you grow your bud outdoors, then you can anticipate harvesting nearly 440 grams per square meter. It takes about 85-95 days to complete flowering if you grow your plants indoors. If you were to plant your seeds in late Spring, you should be ready to harvest around the end of Autumn. Dialing in the proper conditions indoors will ensure a healthy harvest of delicious buds. Growing this strain outdoors requires a bit more maintenance, but if you get the right weather, sunlight, and fresh air, then you should harvest incredibly fragrant and delicious buds.
Ideal Conditions For Growing Chocolate Thai Seeds
Chocolate Thai cannabis can be grown successfully by experienced growers. This strain grows medium to tall, so it needs a ton of space to grow, whether it is grown indoors or outdoors. This strain can reach heights of around 6 feet tall, which means you will need to allow it to grow vertically and laterally to hit quality yields. This strain performs better indoors than outdoors, but will grow like an indoor plant if you have access to greenhouse growing conditions. While some cultivators prefer to grow in natural sunlight and fresh air, others prefer the more predictable, controlled environment of growing indoors. Ideally, the temperature should be between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with relative humidity below 50%. If you are going to grow this strain indoors, you will need to replicate Thai climates to hit its peak growing potential. If your local weather is similar to these conditions, your crop will perform well outdoors. However, setting up your grow inside ensures that the right temperature and humidity are reached every single day. Chocolate Thai performs best when topping and Low-stress training (LST) techniques are utilized. These techniques help adjust the canopy of the plants so that they don’t overgrow. You will also need to top your plants indoors so they don’t burn under the heat of grow lamps. Both of these techniques will increase your yields come harvest time.

Grew this one in a no-till bed and it handled itself well. Not a huge yielder, but I was more focused on flavor and effect. The aroma really opened up during cure, like spiced coffee and herbs. One thing to note: it’s a light feeder. I overdid it at first, and the tips burned quickly. Backed off and it recovered fine. The buzz is heady and social, not overpowering. Perfect for music or drawing.

I ordered a 3-pack and all germinated without issue. Grew them in a small tent under LED and they didn’t take up much space, which I liked. One had slightly twisted leaves early on, but nothing major. They finished just under 11 weeks. The high is light and energetic — perfect daytime buzz. Would’ve liked denser buds, but the flavor and effect make up for it.

The yield was decent, not the biggest, but the quality of the buds made up for it.

This plant needed patience. Took a little longer to flower than advertised, but worth it. I ran it under full-spectrum LEDs and gave it a moderate feed schedule. Didn’t respond well to topping, so I let the second plant run untopped and it did much better. Smell is amazing — like earth and roasted cocoa. Smoke is clear and smooth.

Seeds looked like they were going to be a bust when I got them, the customer service said they would send me additional seeds, maybe ill change my review after I see whats up with the new beans

Super fast shipping and stealthy too — bonus points for that.

If you’re looking for something with old-school flavor and modern punch, this one hits the spot. Tall, stretchy, but not too lanky — and it really comes alive in flower. Smelled like spice and wood, burned smooth, and gave me that creative, giggly type of high. A bit slow to finish, but worth waiting for.

Germinated all 3 seeds easily, and they took off fast. Canopy was even, and the flowers had a rich chocolate smell by week 9.

This was not 15% THC, it was much less. I was kinda bummed out of the yield as well to be honest.

Beautiful fade during flush — got some purple streaks even under basic lighting.

I ran this one outdoors in 15-gallon fabric pots. It definitely stretched more than I expected, and I had to support some of the branches mid-flower. The smell was rich — earthy and a bit spicy. I lost a small branch to bud rot after a rainstorm, but the rest came out nice. If you’re in a humid climate, watch the airflow. Overall a solid plant and a mellow, clear-headed smoke.

I had some issues with pests in my grow tent, good thing Chocolate Thai held up well. I was so nervous that time. It seems to be a sturdy plant once it gets going. buds were also light and fluffy.

Delivery was quick and the seeds came in a sealed, labeled pouch. One of the three didn’t sprout, but the two that did were healthy and easy to manage. I topped one and left the other alone — both performed well. Nice smell during flower, a little citrusy, a little woodsy. Smoke is smooth and mellow. Would buy again.

Not the most beginner-friendly plant I’ve worked with, but it rewards a careful hand. I had to dial back nutrients around week 4 of flower, and it started frosting up like crazy after that. Buds were airy in places, but the flavor is unreal. Hits smooth with a peaceful, nostalgic kind of high.

Easy to grow, no issues with germination, and the harvest was solid.

The quality was good, though.

I usually avoid sativas because they can be too intense, but this one is just right. The plants took a while to flower, but they were strong and handled minor mistakes well.
E. Carter (verified owner)
I feels like classic old-school cannabis, this is the one.
