Cannabis ÔChocolope-4Õ
Chocolope (AKA D-Line) from DNA Genetics Anyone who remembers the Chocolate Thai buds that went around in the 1980Õs will be thrilled to know that the DNA Genetics boys have been hard at work to revive the incredible chocolaty taste and cerebral high of that fantastic weed from yesteryear. Don and Aaron sprinkled their Chocolate Thai female with pollen from their Cannalope male and then backcrossed the progeny to shorten the flowering time a bit while still retaining the unique Thai qualities we love. This almost pure sativa takes a bit longer than some strains to finish flowering but is well worth the wait and yields quite nicely. Chocolope buds have great medicinal value but unseasoned smokers should be cautious; stifled giggles can turn to uncontrolled laughter and some people even report heart racing and paranoia as some of the symptoms of puffing this potent pot. Some even refer to it as a Òhigh-schoolÓ high that reminds them of their earliest experiences with cannabis. If that sounds interesting to you, try some potent and flavorful Chocolope in your garden.

Cannabis indica ÔKushberryÕ
This is the perfect blend of two West Coast flavours. The blueberry male from Oregon was used for his taste and vigour in combination with the fuely, lemon taste of the OG Kush from LA.

The Kushberry is a shorter, stalkier plant which produces a decent yield. The exotic flavour doesn't rival its strength; she is one of our strongest strains. She is berry good for medical use as she relieves pain and helps with sleep and eating disorders.

¥ Yield: 400-500g/m2
Cannabis Ô SDxOGÕ
SourD x OG Kush!
I just picked up some SourD crossed with OG Kush from CPG, and i gotta say, this might be my new favorite hybrid strain. The taste is a perfect mix of these two mega-strains, and the high is excellent: not couch-locky at all, very up, but enough indica to keep the up mellow rather than the more amped sativa vibe. I would say is has the up of SourD with a dash of the OG mellow, just the right amount for me. Smells fantastic too, and very potent. A real winner.
Cannabis Ô White Mustang-2Õ
I was really disappointed with this one. Yield was so shitty, but a buddy of mine I gave some seeds to found a real nice yielding "kush" pheno, as he describes it. Smoke on this plant was decent though, it had a very minor Chemdog taste to it.
Cannabis C-4
Overall Rating: 8 Effect: Nicely balanced
Potency: 8 Stature: Somewhat short and squat
Yield: 9 Phenotype: Mixed, Indica / Sativa
Ease: 9 Indoor: 45 to 50 days
Appearance: 9 Outdoor: Sep 1 to Sep 15
Odor Level: 4 Odor: Mild
Taste Level: 7 Taste: Hashy and yet fruity. Very pleasant taste, great aftertaste
Grower's Tilt: 8 Sexes: Standard (M/F)
SI Rating: Not Listed Vintage: February, 2000

A quick finisher, the C-4 is unassuming and disappointing until it BLOWS UP in the final week or so of flowering. Medicinally, it is a great strain in that is is very fast to hit; a few puffs and you definitely feel it, so it would be a good strain for those looking to accurately control dosage. This was the first of Chimera's strains that I have grown, and I was very pleased with it. It has proven to be a favourite among my circle of friends, as the smoke is refreshing and won't knock you out. A perfect balance of sativa and indica.
Cannbis indica ÔBlue Moonshine variegataÕ
Bluemoonshine is from the breeder DJ Short. It's a cousin to Blueberry, and is derived entirely from within DJ's personal gene pool collection. It is known to be a short kush like plant that will give ya some dense, rock hard nugs of trichome coated bud. A true "hash-plant". From my understanding of DJ's books/articles is that it is a Afghani / Thai cross.

Hemigraphis colorataMetallic PlantThis is an amazingly colorful foliage plant from Malaysia. This selection grows low to the ground, about 10" and often used as a ground cover in the tropics.
