Gelato, also known as "Larry Bird" and "Gelato #42" is an evenly-balanced hybrid marijuana strain made from a crossing of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. With its balance of indica & sativa, this strain produces a euphoric high accompanied by strong feelings of relaxation. Consumers who have smoked Gelato say the effects of the strain come on quickly. You'll be left feeling numb to pain, relaxed, but mentally stimulated and productive. As far as potency goes, Gelato boasts a THC level of 21%, making it an ideal choice for medical marijuana patients seeking relief for pain, fatigue, and insomnia. Novice consumers may want to approach this THC powerhouse with caution, but those armed with a high THC tolerance will delight in the heavy-handed effects this strain offers. In terms of taste, Gelato is sweet and features fruity and creamy flavors and aromas. According to growers, this strain produces buds that bloom in dark purple hues and are illuminated by fiery orange hairs and a shiny white coating of crystal resin. The average price per gram of Gelato is $12. Because Gelato has reached a legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs, it comes as no surprise it's been used to make a variety of other high-quality Gelato strains, including Gelato #3, Gelato #33, Gelato #41, and Gelato #45.

If you're looking fot a feel-good hybrid look no further. It produces the stereotypical stoned effect which I enjoy I some strains. Sometimes I'm just super stressed or have the blues and some Gelato is all you need. It'd probably pair well with some actual Gelato. This strain enhances my senses making everything look, taste, and feel better. This is a great strain for restlessness both emotional and physical, I use this strain along with meditation. Amazing way to start your day!

An absolute favorite. I've had #33, #41, papaya × gelato, high flyin Gelato, Lemon Cherry Gelato, Blueberry × Gelato, Gelati... all are wonderful. I find it somewhat strange that nobody hardly ever makes the connection that it actually tastes like the desert, Gelato. Like alot like it. Sometimes a certain cultivars will get a name of a food and not really taste much like it. But to me, it tastes and smells, both fresh and smoking, like it's name sake. And such a kind buzz. Not too harsh, mellow, and makes every situation better. It's getting harder where I'm from to find just regular Gelato. Everyone is wanting to cross is with other things which is nice too, but it is such a wonderful strain just as is. It's definitely top 5 for me. I'm more of a straight sativa or straight indica guy usually, but it's the only hybrid to hold tight in my top ranks. So for sativas I have Durban Poison and super lemon haze and indicas I have HINDU KUSH and do si dos/ grand daddy purps as a tie. I know they have a bit of sativa in them, but very little. And for a sativa dom.. Trainwreck I love...but I haven't been able to find it in years. Having that again would make my ....decade lol. But actually of all those favorite, only durban is available in flower. That's upsetting. Sometimes do si dos. But mever hindu, Super Lemon, granddaddy purps. And I know alot of people who want these strains as well. Can always find carts, but it's kinda funny that these companies make carts of these but don't have flower...which proves they are flavored to taste like those strains but not actually from those strains. Wish there was a bit more honesty. Like you know when you're smoking real durban. Unique taste and buzz like nothing else. Carts get a similar taste, but the buzz isn't right. Same with Gelato. Unmistakable taste. And buzz. But carts just don't quite get it. Same as most concentrates. But for those looking for a sweet, flavorful happy buzz, get you some Gelato flower. I've not heard of many complaints. Just a good all around stain that i hope stays in heavy rotation for all to enjoy!

Those growing Gelato with standard or feminized seeds should expect to pay $10-20 per seed. Growing Gelato with standard or feminized seeds is considered to be hard and produces a medium yield. The healthiest Gelato plants will grow to be short to medium in height, especially when grown in soil. Flowering time for Gelato is 8-9 weeks. With all of this said, if you’re growing Gelato with auto-flowering seeds, you can expect the process to look slightly different. Auto-flowering seeds will flower automatically regardless of the light cycle, and will usually be ready to harvest in 8-9 weeks from seed.
