Following the Cookies hype, we are now experiencing the rise of Gelato. This strain is taking the world by storm it seems, and for good reason. Originating in the Bay Area of California, Gelato is now a worldwide phenomenon that has confidently taken the reins of GSC. And of course, Zamnesia Seeds is eager to provide European growers with this treat as well.
At Zamnesia, we are never content with simply making a copy of popular genetics; instead, we chose to create our own unique version to elevate this breeding trend to an even higher plane. By pairing Gelato with special pheno Gelato #33, then adding Wedding Cake to the mix (which itself is a mix of Triangle Kush x Animal Mints), this genetic matrimony resulted in a slightly indica-dominant strain (60% indica and 40% sativa) that pleases cannabis consumers all along the indica-sativa spectrum. Every component of this strain works in harmony to deliver balanced growth, flavour, and effects.
GROWING GELATO
Indoors, Gelato is squat but sturdy, reaching between 50–100cm in height. After a breezy flowering period of 8–9 weeks, she yields roughly 400–500g/m². Outdoors, she’s capable of climbing up to 2m in height, ultimately delivering 300–400g/plant during mid-October. Grown under natural sunlight, she prefers a warm and humid climate. Gelato develops compact and potent buds with vibrant orange hairs over a dark green background—an arresting sight that signifies the prime genetics used to develop her.
AROMA & EFFECT OF GELATO
But where this strain really shines is its aroma and well-balanced effect. Toward the end of flowering, you will begin to notice a super-sweet scent with earthy undertones. As soon as you light up a joint of Gelato, the creamy blend of flavours will leave you speechless with complementary notes of lemon, mint, and vanilla. Yummy!
With 26% THC, Gelato is pretty potent—to say the least. You should clear your schedule to really experience the great effect of this strain. Although slightly indica-dominant, Gelato unleashes an immediate euphoria that satisfies the stoner urge for a happy high. Be prepared for hard-hitting waves of uplifting energy pumping through your brain. Once the superb high has obliterated all stressful thoughts, it moves on to your muscles. Gelato will soothe your pain and aches, but won't leave you couch-locked like many strong indica varieties do. And that's what’s so special about Gelato—she is potent, but balanced in every aspect of what she has to offer.
