About Gelato
Gelato, also sold as Gelato 42 and Larry Bird, came out of the Bay Area in California and is credited to Cookie Fam Genetics. It is a cross of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, and the most widely circulated cut is the Gelato #33 selection. Seed Junky Genetics lists the plant at roughly 67 days of flowering, or nine to ten weeks.
The buds are compact and run from dark green to deep purple, threaded with bright orange pistils and finished with a thick coat of white trichomes. Broken open, the flower smells sweet and floral with a peppery edge, and the cured bud has a faint resinous funk underneath.
Caryophyllene leads the terpene profile, followed by limonene and humulene. Caryophyllene accounts for the pepper note, limonene for the bright citrus top, and humulene for a dry, woody base. Leafly lists THC at about 21% with CBD at 0%, which sits above the average for the category.
Gelato is commonly described as relaxed and euphoric. Its offspring include Runtz and Biscotti, which is part of why it shows up so often in modern hybrid breeding.
