¶ Gelato
| Strain | Look | Smell & Flavor | Primary Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gelato | Dark purple with fiery orange hairs | Sweet citrus and lavender | Relaxed, euphoric, clear-headed |
Gelato, specifically the "Larry Bird" #33 phenotype, is a legendary cross of Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint GSC. Bred by the Sherbinskis team in San Francisco, it is the parent to many of today’s most famous "candy" strains. Gelato is prized for its stunning appearance—deep purple leaves, fiery orange hairs, and a silver sheen of resin. Its aroma is a sophisticated mix of sweet citrus, earthy lavender, and a "cool" minty finish that makes it smell like a high-end Italian dessert.
The effects of Gelato are heavy but physically energizing. While it provides a deep physical relaxation that can help with muscle spasms and chronic pain, it doesn't usually cause the mental "fog" associated with pure Indicas. This makes it a "connoisseur’s choice" for those who want to stay mentally sharp while their body feels completely at ease. It is a highly euphoric strain that can help with bipolar disorder and PTSD, providing a sense of peace and stability that lasts for hours.
