Gelato Strain

Description

Gelato strain is amazingly delicious indica-dominant hybrid dessert strain made by crossing Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Produced by breeders at Cookie Fam Genetics, the strain is one of many Gelato phenotypes, but this one in particular, Gelato #33, also known as the Larry Bird, is not one to be dismissed! With delectable berry and citrus notes accompanied by a super strong high that is fueled by an average 22% THC content count, this sweet strain is loved for its great taste, psychoactive high and effective medical benefits!

Gelato Strain Effects

Gelato number 33 offers users a nice and tasty light smoke, though that is not to say it isn’t a heavy hitting high. It is known for being a relatively strong strain and can hit you almost immediately upon consuming, starting off as an intense and uplifting, euphoric head rush that is soon followed by a calming, buzzing body high. After smoking, you are left feeling happy, social and relaxed. The psychoactive high helps alleviate anxiety, stress or depression so that you are mentally at ease.

The physical body relaxation felt with Gelato #33 is known for being strong and highly effective in soothing, or even melting away all body aches and pains which is in part due to the high buzz, but it does not leave you feeling couch-locked or overly sedated, making it popular amongst medical users of marijuana. Not only is it delicious, but it really does take the best of both sativa and indica effects!

THC Content

The Gelato #33 averages at 22% in THC content, and it embodies a pretty balanced indica to sativa ratio at 55% to 45%. It takes on its strong genetics and powerful effects from its parents:

Thin Mint GSC which is a 50%:50% hybrid and averages at 24% THC, and is itself a cannabis community favorite being one of the more popular Girl Scout Cookies phenotypes; its other parent, Sunset Sherbert, sometimes also known simply as Gelato, is more indica dominant with a ratio of 85%:15%, and while it carries a lesser THC count of 10%-19% on average.

it does also typically embody 1% CBD, making it more ideal for medical usage. Gelato #33, on the other hand, gives you the best of both worlds without being too overpowering on either side!

Looks & Smell

Sweet heritage, Gelato #33 encompasses a variety of dessert flavors. There are aromas of mint, something it takes on from the Thin Mint GSC, along with a medley of fruits including blueberry and sweet citruses. Some even note hints of a lavender scent, though the taste upon smoking is more like a sherbert of fresh oranges and berries.

Definitely one of the more appealing and colorful flavor profiles of the Gelato phenotype! It is visually appealing, too, with a color combo of dark greens and purples, spotted with fiery orange pistils. Pair the Gelato #33 with your own favorite fruity sherbert ice cream on the side for double the goodness!

Because Gelato has reached a ledgandery 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.
