Very good body buzz, kinda made my ears ring after a massive bong rip! It’s super stinky, smells like lexs dirty underwear.

Gelato, also known as "Larry Bird" and "Gelato #42" is an evenly-balanced hybrid marijuana strain made from a crossing of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. With its balance of indica & sativa, this strain produces a euphoric high accompanied by strong feelings of relaxation. Consumers who have smoked Gelato say the effects of the strain come on quickly. You'll be left feeling numb to pain, relaxed, but mentally stimulated and productive. As far as potency goes, Gelato boasts a THC level of 21%, making it an ideal choice for medical marijuana patients seeking relief for pain, fatigue, and insomnia. Novice consumers may want to approach this THC powerhouse with caution, but those armed with a high THC tolerance will delight in the heavy-handed effects this strain offers. In terms of taste, Gelato is sweet and features fruity and creamy flavors and aromas. According to growers, this strain produces buds that bloom in dark purple hues and are illuminated by fiery orange hairs and a shiny white coating of crystal resin. The average price per gram of Gelato is $12. Because Gelato has reached a legendary status among cannabis connoisseurs, it comes as no surprise it's been used to make a variety of other high-quality Gelato strains, including Gelato #3, Gelato #33, Gelato #41, and Gelato #45.

Gelato strain reviews(2,542)
Just wanted to leave this review because gelato#42 doesn’t exist!! It’s often mislabeled as such even on dispensary shelves, but the grower of gelato himself has come out and stated that gelato#42 was never a pheno, And that it’s a widespread myth that he doesn’t know the origin of. gelato#33 AKA Larry Bird is the original cultivar, and the only pheno in which it’s referred to as Larry Bird, because 33 is Larry Bird’s retired NBA Jersey number.
This strain is perfect for anyone who wants a distinctly sativa-like high without an overly energizing effect.
Almost a 5/5 The taste is great, sweet and soft. Like a fresh ice cream, cant pinpoint the exact flavour but theres something about it that makes it smell and taste strong, acid like. 4.2/5 taste 3.9/5 High A relaxed/ mellow high but intense. Definitely agree with people that say it leans towards indica more.
Great for a night out with the boys and getting into some tomfoolery
Leans more indica. Full body relaxation. Feels stoney.
I bought a disposable cart of this strain from Lucky Elk. I don’t know if it’s just the batch I got or what, but every hit has a cough after 2-5 seconds. Other than that, it’s a good strain. The high is almost immediate, felt within the forehead and travels down the face for me. Unlike like other strains I’ve tried, It doesn’t leave too much of a smell around after the fact. The highest felt pretty good, even though it was tame, not too much dizziness to notice unless you’re staring at non moving objects.
my anxiety is so much easier to cope with. might be in my top 3 strains i’ve tried :) also, music sounds amazing ….
even tho it shouldn't be that strong of a strain it's still a huge body buzz for me. kind of kicks in 10minutes after smoking. i did also go non verbal for like 30 minutes once because i was so locked in on the experience. ~2h after smoking it i got hit with a wave of relaxation and went to bed. good strain
I don't know if it's just me—since I tend to prefer Indicas that offer deep relaxation—but Gelato is a hybrid that combines euphoria with relaxation; however, the initial hit is so intense that it triggers anxiety and tachycardia. It's a good, resin-rich strain, but it made me feel anxious at times.

Those growing Gelato with standard or feminized seeds should expect to pay $10-20 per seed. Growing Gelato with standard or feminized seeds is considered to be hard and produces a medium yield. The healthiest Gelato plants will grow to be short to medium in height, especially when grown in soil. Flowering time for Gelato is 8-9 weeks. With all of this said, if you’re growing Gelato with auto-flowering seeds, you can expect the process to look slightly different. Auto-flowering seeds will flower automatically regardless of the light cycle, and will usually be ready to harvest in 8-9 weeks from seed.
