Dam. Been looking at Dukes gear in hopes of that elusive skunk stank .The stank ya get when you smell it a km away , then see the poor buger dead on the road . Miss that smoke something fierce. I just dont get why people name all these strains skunk when it's the furthest thing from what a skunk smells like lol . Nice looking plants though.

I know what you mean. To Duke's credit, the info printed on the pack is exactly my experience with growing them out. I also have his Dominion Skunk, but don't have plans to pop them soon.

Yup , when your just a kid in the early 90's the last thing your thinking of is ..oh maybe I should save theese seeds cuz I might wanna grow them out some 25 odd years later lol
 
Been there man. A grower/dealer I knew decade+ ago gave me a decent sized batch of seeds of the black domina he was growing/selling. Held onto em a long time waiting to grow. Gave em to a friend who was starting a crop in his basement. Shit happened, his girl flipped her lid one night. Long story short, they didn't make it and the remaining seeds disappeared. Hindsight 20/20 right? Lmfao.
Wish I still had them. Lol. I'll Probably source some of that strain somewhere eventually just for nostalgic reasons. Lmfao
Useful Seeds had some old Black Domina preserve seeds as buy-one-get-one freebies. I don't know if they're still available, but if not, I'll be open pollinating these in the future. So if you can't find 'em, I'll have some eventually that I'd be happy to share.

Guess myself and so many others were just naive to think that , that smoke would always be around .

Smoke Report
Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2
(
Fire Alien Black X Starfighter F2)

Smell: cocoa powder, baking chocolate, dark chocolate, strawberries, berry
Taste: Crunch Berries (not sugary), slightly hashy, lingering dark chocolate exhale
Effect: starts with swollen eyes and slight raciness, calms into a functional heady indica after ~20-30mins. Overall duration ~1.5-2hrs
Growing:
Stretch: roughly doubled initial flowering height
Flowering Time: 58-63 days
Nutes: Moderate to Heavy feeder, she is a forgiving plant that can thrive in a wide range of nutrient concentrations.

Taste
When you first crack open a full jar of the Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 (CCS), this dark/bitter baker’s chocolate immediately floods out of the crusted nugs. Hovering your nose over the jar and taking a long draw sniff reveals the berries just underneath the initially overwhelming cocoa aroma. The berry component has a light resemblance to fresh strawberries, but has been described by others as having a more generic berry (generic meaning not one particular type of berry) splash to the complex nose. Neither the chocolate nor berry has a sweet/sugary aspect, more of a bitter chocolate and natural berry qualities.

On the exhale, you definitely pick up berry flavoring. At first you think, “It’s like blueberries, strawberries, grape, raspberry...” and then it hits, Crunch Berries! She tastes like Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries cereal. This resemblance to the cereal does not have the overly sweet/sugary aspect that the cereal has, but the flavoring is very similar. This mix of all things berry gives way to the dark cocoa hash foreshadowed in the smell. The chocolate taste lingers in your mouth after the berries. The CCS is able to produce this complex flavor profile long after the first “green hits” are a memory in your smoke session.


Effect
The first thing you notice after a few minutes is the heaviness of swelled eyelids. A tingling starts behind the eyes and a sense of “rush” begins to fill your chest. An uptick in heart rate makes you double take to make sure she’s still “indica”. The beginnings of raciness begin to take over for about 10-15mins as your body tries to acclimate to the huge chemical bath you just gave your brain. This subsides rather quickly leaving you in a spacey cloud of upbeat energetic relaxation. The CCS has a calming and mood-elevating characteristic.

She does not have an overwhelming couch-lock, but can definitely mellow you out. Her effect is one of a functional indica that would be a great midday smoke loosening you up without putting you to sleep. The CCS is a solid “good-time” smoke that is great for social situations either preparing you for them or accentuating a get-together.

Overall
The Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 has a very enjoyable and complex aroma that truly does not disappoint. We can all rattle off many strains we’ve come across with very descriptive names that fall well short once smelled/tasted/experienced that you’d expect from such colorful, flavorful, bombastic names. This is one that lives up to the name.
She is a breeze to grow with great vigor. She can handle any training techniques and will begin to purple at about week 5-6 of flower. The CCS would be very kind to newer growers or those that prefer fewer headaches when growing as she can handle a wide range of feeding without throwing fits. Her shorter flowering time ensures a brisk end to an easy grow cycle.
Her genetic background is solidly indica but has expressed a great headiness, which makes for very functional daytime smoke. The CCS has great bag appeal and a generous coating of frost.
If you’re looking for complex flavorful cannabis that is easy to grow, rewards with a nice relaxing upbeat effect, and has cover girl appeal, look no further than the Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2.
You sold me. That was an excellent overview and description! Where might a guy get CCS?

Much appreciated! This Chocolate Covered Strawberries was an Exotic Genetix strain that was F2'd and hunted by Useful Seeds to find the plant you see in my write-up.

I do not know if the original from Exotic is still available. Useful breeds with this particular CCS F2 and has made Double Dipped Strawberries, a feminized cross with the tightly held Chocolate Diesel (Sour Diesel x Chocolate Trip). Useful Seeds are at GLG, JBC, and DCSE. Currently, only DCSE has Double Dipped Strawberries in stock (if you buy a pack of Useful Seeds from DCSE, you get a freebie 7-pack of Schwaggy Seeds).

I was going to grab some but DCSE doesn't ship to Canada WTF
 
surprised to see the chemd cookies cross and 91skva cross still available? But I like his chocolate diesel story, I think its better to be sour d x choc trip, than sour d x choc thai, but that's jmho.
The Chem D Cookies is a Connoisseur Genetics strain of Chem D x GSC. It produces very dense nugs with a sweet baked goods terp profile, reminds me of raspberry scones. I do not know the extent to which Connoisseur worked the line, but it is surprisingly stable considering the parentage.

To my knowledge, Useful's account of Chocolate Diesel is THE backstory of the cut, [Sour Diesel x Chocolate Trip (Katsu's cut)]. I realize the Sour Diesel part of the story is not in contention, but I can say the SourD profile is the predominant contributor to the Chocolate Diesel's terp expression. There is a definite electric sour "green-candy" componenet to the smell. As the Chocolate Diesel matures, later in flower she starts to add some funkier nuances to the nose.

I grew out Chocolate Trip and saw some serious parallel in the structure of the Chocolate Diesel. I understand that Chocolate Trip is a Chocolate Thai cross, but the Chocolate Diesel closely mirrored Trip's structure.
