Another West Coast strain brought to the European market by Original Sensible. Since the law changes throughout the US, “American” strains have become very popular with many European growers and Gelato is no acception. Hailing from the Bay Area in California, Gelato is another genetic marvel with some fire parentage in both the Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies, in particular the Thin Mint pheno.
Gelato is a THC powerhouse and after admiring her dark purple hues contrasting against the fiery orange hairs from a sparkling resin coated nug, you should experience her heavy handed blast of euphoria.
Newcomers should take care but those of us with a high tolerance will be loving wave after wave followed closely by a feeling of heavy physical relaxation that despite this many are still able to stay productive and creative when enjoying Gelato during the day.
Yields of 550g per m2 are easily achievable when grown indoors whilst when grown outdoors over 750g per plant is possible.
Strain FAQ
Can you describe gelato's taste?
Every puff of gelato is said to have a pleasant, delicious scent from lavender, berries, and citrus. Stars like myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene create a scent that is reportedly as tantalising as the strain's name.
What are the benefits of medium flowering time strains?
The genetic variety of this flowering spectrum offers hybrids that combine the finest of Sativa and Indica features. These hybrids can reportedly both energise and relax, deoending on their genetic makeup, meaning there is something for everyone here!
What distinguishes African and Middle Eastern landraces?
African cannabis landrace strains, especially around the equator like Ethiopia, are among the oldest. These genetically pure strains have adapted to their respective settings for decades. Landrace strains from Afghanistan and Lebanon are resilient and produce strong resin, which is needed for hashish manufacture.
What's special about strains that finish in mid-October?
Short-season locales benefit from strains that flower by mid-October. As winter approaches, they are already finished, avoiding the risk of frost, mould, and pest damage.
Do high-yielding strains reportedly need different nutrients?
Their dietary needs are said to be more demanding than their lower yielding counterparts. A balanced nutritional mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients is said to be needed for strong growth and bud formation.
