Choco Chiba
- Thread starter Chomba64
- Start date
Still smoking the last bits of mine, schwaggy little buds that I had bagged for dry sift, somehow cure into potent sativa loveliness. Great weed and not stupid long flowering for no real additional gain.
Can you elaborate on the line? Very sexy plant! Major props!!

the choco chiba has a great story behind it including the native guarani women's handing over to luiz fritzman of defunct brazilizn seed co. the cc clone and cc pure beans.
one aspect I found so appealing is that this guarani woman was married to a cannabis drug lord. she had tremendous access to lots of Paraguay strains. the only strain she would smoke was choco chiba. Paraguay has lots of great landraces. I have grown out Paraguay cohiba ( smoke some last night; one of my favorite smokes and possibly related to the Brazilian cohiba that might be the "mom" of white widow):

the traffickers in Paraguay ( official cannabis 2nd leading exporter to the world) brick these wonderful sativas wet. the ooze from these wet compressed bales are scraped and packaged as exotic delicacies. I believe the fudge bars madjag talks about so often were these Paraguay or other country's compression ooze delicacies. the wet bricked cannabis is basically ruined by the piss poor compression techniques employed in Paraguay imo.

^ another cc thread.
the heli's got last years cc grow of mine. they almost got me. sorry, I deleted pics due to security reasons. close call last year.
I've got some choco chibas going for a bean run and some more choco choco's. choco choco is choco hash plant (vulcania)/ choco chiba.
chomba64 had the only choco chiba smoke report on the 'net that I could find a few years back. his big brothr iirc was slinging some exotic herb back in the early '60's and this is how chamba64 got his first experience with choco chiba; a suspected Paraguay sister of chocolate Colombian.
looking forward to chmba64's pics and hopefull smoke reports.
there is some genetic diversity in the choco chiba beans which is a good thing me thinks.
they should improve into cocoa terps during aging from my experience. you have as much or more experience with her than me so i'm looking forward to your assessments.
the choco chiba pollen was stored from indoor run in freezer. the females were from same batch and were pollinated outdoors in areas where I only ran choco chiba for pure beans runs so I see no chance with foreign cannabis pollen contamination. in my area thre are no hemp weed patches and no one but me can hardly seem to even grow down here in the se usa conditions. the clay soil hates cannabis.
you should have the real deal with some genetic diversity. there is no mistaking choco chiba's distinctive aroma and taste.
purpleclouds has some choco chibas going slightly purple from bsc seed stock.
choco chiba run. my super soil is too hot for seedlings but they'll recover based on other seedlings before these re performance. the wide leaves on some phenos yield to sativa nld growth characteristics in later veg.
i'll do straight choco chiba beans and hybrids like choco hash plant/choco chiba ( choco choco) and eskobars chocolate rain fem/choco chiba ( chiba rain) where choco chiba will hopefully meet some chocolate thai genetics:
