Gelato

Description

Few hybrids balance indica and sativa as evenly as Gelato, a regular photoperiod strain often traced back to a cross of Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies. Growing it as a regular seed means you’ll get both males and females, which suits growers who want to breed or search out a favourite phenotype. With moderate THC, a big yield, and a citrus flavour, it’s a well-rounded choice for a first hybrid grow.

Growing Gelato

Expect about half the seedlings from this regular pack to turn male, so keep an eye out once flowering starts under a 12/12 light schedule, or as days shorten outdoors, and remove them unless you want to breed or pheno hunt, a process covered in our guide to pheno hunting. The medium 3-4 ft frame keeps Gelato manageable indoors or outdoors, and the big yield makes the 8-10 week flowering time worth the wait.

Flavour and Effects

Citrus carries the flavour here, a simple, bright note that stays consistent from start to finish. Most people describe the effects as happy and euphoric at first, drifting into energetic, uplifted, and giggly territory before settling into something more relaxed and sedative.

If you’d rather skip picking out males, our feminized Gelato F1 offers similar genetics as an all-female, higher-THC option. You can also browse the rest of our regular seeds to compare.
