Gelato strain has different names and different effects. It is a relatively young strain, born in San Francisco. One of the most famous, recognizable, and trusted companies in the market, Cookie Fam Genetics, decided to create something completely new yet as good as the best strains already available. So, they took two top hybrids Thin Mint GSC and Sherbet, and created this stunning strain also known as thirty-third phenotype or just Larry Bird. This Indica-dominant hybrid strain has wonderful flavors and 16-19% THC, so this is not only delicious but also a very full-body marijuana strain. 

There are two types of seeds for this strain: Gelato Autoflower seeds and Gelato Feminized seeds.

Gelato Strain Aromas and Tastes

If you like prominent smells, you’ll like Gelato. It’s not only pungent, but it is also very fruity and incredibly sweet, no wonder creators called it Gelato! Well, the mix of flavors is really impressive – if you value good taste and aroma, you’ll definitely notice some woody and floral flavors, as well as the hints of delicious blueberry and good old orange. It is also a bit peppery and hoppy.

If you like this strain, check out Jet Fuel Og strain as well, they have the same THC levels and similar dominant terpene - Caryophyllene, but the second one has a more pungent aftertaste.

i swear i have felt increased energy with other strains before but not like this one. I think Potaholic#1 may be right about the beauty ofhigh CBD plants. I may be shifting to Indica dominant strain from now on with this baby at the top of my list of lists.

I have battled depression for over a year and i wish i stumbled on Gelato earlier. For a month I have not felt the gloomy funk that comes with thinking i suck and everything is hopeless. Now, i feel happy even when I haven't used the weed for over a week. it may be too early but i think i sucker punched the hell out of that depression.

This is a very very good strain, got some other dispensary in Michigan and my first experience with it was absolutely stunning I absolutely my jaw dropped I could not believe how complex the high actually was. Super good for insomnia, way better than antidepressants I'm not big on taste although it does help it did taste good I'm just I'm more on the effects and on the taste. I have about 10 grows under my belt I've got it pretty well down so I don't expect to have any problems I have ordered five seeds from Growers choice and hope that they deliver like they usually do with good genetics. I enjoy growing in myself for medicinal purposes as well as recreational I like the fact that I know what I'm putting on my plants and I've gotten stuff off the street it's just horrible it's has dark black hard ass and you know it's not good for you so I pretty much grow my own medicine now this is definitely on the top of my list for a long time.!

I got some, not properly cured, it was quit wet, but still sticky. It got a good citrus predominent smell, with hint of something I don't get, but it does smell like a piece of cake almost. Nice strong high, which is balanced, like I could clearly feel the head high and the body high. I wasn't too sedated, I was still able to do basic stuff, but with laziness, it got me quit creative, this was the best part of it. It could help for insomnia, depression, and pain I guess, at least this is how it worked on me, I didn't get hungry though
