Gelato

Gelato is a slightly indica dominant hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) strain created by crossing Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 20-26% on average, with 0.2% CBD. Seeds come in feminized and autoflower form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Gelato high as a slow, warming body melt that starts at the back of the head and rolls down through the limbs, easing muscles into deep, contented calm while the mind drifts into a hazy, happy state. Even at its heaviest, a quiet euphoria hums in the background, keeping the experience warm rather than sedating from the first hit. These combined effects make Gelato a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect sweet and berry up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a sweet-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Gelato offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Gelato family — see Gelato Auto OG and Gelato Automatic for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
