Chocolate Chunk

Chocolate Chunk: Decadent Dessert

The seeds of Chocolate Chunk marijuana ultimately grow into shorter plants with large buds and plenty of leaves. The leaves of this plant are red, orange, green, yellow, and dark purple. The colors depend on how the lights hit them and what stage of growth they are in. Looking closely at the topmost buds, you can see bright pistils growing like a corkscrew from the middle of the bud site. The buds themselves are purple and green and coated with dusty resin trichomes. When harvested those buds turn into dank nuggets that are more orange than they are green. Breaking these nuggets apart releases a welcomed aroma that entices growers and users. The nuggets are more leafy than dense. Chocolate Chunk won Best Indica at the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup, Best Indica at the International Cannabis Cup in 2011, and Best Indica at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2013. These are some pretty major awards that this strain can boast about. The awards are just one of the many reasons growers are adding this strain to their routines every day.
