Gelato: Creamy Citrus Candy with Balanced Elevation
In this Cannabis School session, we dove into Gelato—also known as Gelato #42, Larry Bird, or Zelato—a perfectly balanced hybrid (roughly 55% indica / 45% sativa) bred from Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies . Think dessert-worthy flavor wrapped in a clear, uplifting experience.
Cannabinoid Profile
THC: Typically 20–25%, often hovering around 21%—more than enough for daily ritual without overpowering .
CBD: Minimal (~0–0.2%)—just enough entourage to soften the edge .
CBG/CBC: Trace amounts add to the mellow harmony .
Terpene Lineup
Caryophyllene: spicy, peppery kick—easing tension and upping body comfort
Limonene: citrus burst that uplifts mood and refreshes the inhale
Humulene: earthy-woody depth for smooth grounding
Myrcene: herbal base for mellow relaxation and body ease
Flavor & Aroma
Sweet, creamy berry melts into vanilla ice cream and orange zest, with subtle herbal depth and a soft diesel note on the finish—a luxurious dessert bouquet in each pull.
How It Hits
Gelato kicks in fast: head high is clear, uplifted, lightly euphoric—without fuzz. Then a gentle body relax follows: not couch-lock, but a knowing calm. Ideal for mellow creativity, social glow, or evening unwind .
Good For
Stress and anxiety relief with function intact
Mood elevation, creativity, social warmth
Chronic pain, insomnia, depression relief
Dessert lovers who want flavor without sedation
Looks & Grow Notes
Dense, frosty buds—emerald-to-purple hues wrapped in crystal frost and bold orange pistils. Short flowering indoors (~8–9 weeks); moderate-to-high yields .
Cannabis School’s Take:
Gelato is the connoisseur’s dessert: sweet, refined, and potent, with function to match its flavor. It delivers creamy clarity and mellow energy—without crashing the vibe. If cake and chill sounds like a plan, this strain’s your dreamy nightcap.
