anyone remember chocolate thai?

[mussh]

so I was lucky enough to have smoked some back in the early 80's.
haven't smoked any since.

I have started growing some thai fantasy and was curious to why I never see chocolate thai anywhere.
after doing some research, I find that the thai got the chocolate flavor from being grown in the same areas as coffee and cocobeans

I have an idea.
what do you think would happen if I lightly primed my coco medium with coffee extract and dark chocolate?
haha am I dreaming?
im thinking in light doses....I may get what I am after.

any thoughts?

I think it would be a cool idea to add finely ground coffee beans to the medium, it is quite high in N so you would not need supplemental N for quite a while. I think it could give a nice undertone to the aroma/flavor. However, dark chocolate I would avoid, over 50% of the cacao bean by weight is fat and that would only cause issues with diseases and pests.

what if the dark chocolate is powered and I mix 1/4 tsp per gallon?
think that would cause pests and disease?
I have a coffee extract and would use superthrive doses. one drop per gallon.

If there is any fat at all, I would not use it, fats and mediums don't mix at all, both figuratively and literally. As long as the coffee extract is pure with no chemical additives, preservatives, etc. I think it would be okay to give it a go.

hmmmmm
im gonna find some coco beans and get my alchemy on.
if I can finely grind them like a coffee bean...........
im gonna try and see what happens. its for personal use, so if it comes out bad, only I need to know.
but, if it comes out good.....my friends are in for a treat.
