Gelato Seeds | Feminized Photoperiod

Sometimes referred to as the Larry Bird strain, Gelato was originally bred by Cookie Fam Genetics in San Francisco. Numerous phenotypes of Gelato were released over time by these master breeders, but pheno #33 is the one most frequently associated with the iconic strain – hence its alternate name ‘ Larry Bird ’( the basketball icon’s old number).

Beyond its affiliation with a basketball legend and origins, Gelato cannabis has become world-famous for its unique effects, which are balanced and won’t leave you crashing in the end.

What is the Gelato Marijuana Strain?

A well-balanced cannabis hybrid strain that leans slightly more toward Indica. This photogenic and flavorful weed type includes roughly 60% Indica and 40% Sativa genetics. It offers an overall energizing and uplifting buzz – not always typical with Indica dominant genetics.

The main feature that stands out when growing this strain and buying the seeds is the very high THC content. In the worst growing conditions it will produce 18% THC and in optimum growing conditions up to 33%. The THC content usually ranges between 22- 26% for most growers, which is of course potent.

Gelato Marijuana Aroma and Flavor

With an especially prominent and pungent terpene profile, it’s not easy to hide that there is cannabis nearby when in the vicinity of Gelato flowering. For this reason, growing these potent buds might be a dealbreaker for some. However, trust me — it’ll be well worth the endeavor.

Besides the pungent marijuana scent, this cannabis strain has hints of blueberry and orange. Flavor-wise, Gelato cannabis starts out with sweet and woody flavors, blended with hints of flowery lavender. The taste transforms into a blend of berries and citrus, on the exhale which is a surprise for your tastebuds.

Gelato Seeds Grow Info

Thanks to its Indica genetics, the Gelato cannabis strain only grows to medium height, meaning that it’s suitable for those who wish to grow cannabis seeds indoors and simply don’t have a ton of overhead space.

It’s a photogenic strain and a pleasure to watch during the flowering process, as its buds are stunning – especially near harvest. Gelato, while not the simplest cannabis strain to grow, can be successfully cultivated either inside or outdoors by novice growers who research their growing techniques ahead of time.

Outside, you’re better off sticking to a tropical climate in order to be successful with Gelato seeds. The ideal conditions for this strain are warm and sticky temperatures, but just before the flowering period, you need a lower humidity level.

Flowering lasts around 8- 9 weeks for Gelato cannabis seeds, and the individual yield can vary but it’s above average.

Effects of the Gelato Strain

An especially hard-hitting strain to grow, those who are complete beginners should ease into growing the Gelato strain, as its maximum 33% THC content is no joke. Although Gelato weed is slightly Indica- dominant, it generally doesn’t leave the consumer feeling sleepy or tired. Rather, the Gelato buzz creeps into the head, leaving a high that’s generally cerebral and concentrated. The strain’s effects include filling the user with creativity, happiness, and relaxation. Ideal for sharing with friends during social gatherings, and for a productive day when you need to have a lot of mental focus.
