Gelato has made serious waves since she was introduced to the cannabis scene. Growers and smokers alike are obsessed with the sweet flavours and body-hugging highs of this genetic powerhouse. Breeders at RQS decided to take things further by introducing beloved Blueberry into the mix. If you thought Gelato couldn't taste any better, prepare to be proven wrong.
Gelato genetics have taken the cannabis industry by storm. Extreme potency, outrageous flavours, and productive yields made them superstars. Breeders at RQS have played around with Gelato's parent strains and created something special.
Gelato stems from parent varieties Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. Naturally, our breeding team decided to up the ante and introduce genetics from another strain into the mix: Blueberry. This ambitious decision resulted in mouth-watering flavours. Smoking or vaping these flowers exposes the taste buds to a complex and rare blend of terpenes.
So, does Blue Gelato live up to the family name? Absolutely. The constituents within these flowers catalyse a fast-acting high that sweeps over the body almost instantly. If you’re looking for a new strain to help you unwind in the evenings, look no further. Blue Gelato's THC levels of 23% and stoning terpenes synergise to create a sense of peace. To top it all off, flavours of earthiness, diesel, and fruit infuse every hit.
Blue Gelato will keep your stash jars loaded for weeks to come. Indoor plants put out 550–600g/m² after a relatively quick flowering time of 9–10 weeks. Outdoors, Blue Gelato feminized cannabis seeds peaks at a towering height of 200cm and produces up to 600g/plant.

Strain FAQ
What terpenes are responsible for earthiness?
Along with myrcene, humulene adds a woody tone to the earthy scent, and it's intriguing that hops contain it. Beta-caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent adds earthiness and reportedly interacts with the endocannabinoid system.
Are there any particularly famous Gelato crosses?
Breeders have been creating Gelato hybrids to increase its well deserved legacy. Gelato #33 x Zkittlez adds candy flavours, while Gelato x Wedding Cake adds vanilla and spice. Gelato + OG Kush is said to combine intellectual highs with body-calming euphoria.
Where do the genetics for High-THC cannabis strains come from?
High-THC strains combine sativa, indica, and hybrid traits. This rich genetic mix is created through careful breeding to increase THC and create a mesh of cannabinoids and terpenes for a variety of effects. It's a balancing act that showcases the art and science of legal cannabis cultivation.
Do high-yielding strains resist pests and diseases?
On the one hand it is known that their increased biomass makes them vulnerable to pests and illnesses. However, on the other hand, breeding has enhanced their genetic resistance. New strains are being created all the time that promise high yields as well as good disease and pest resistance.
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.
