Gelato Strain Overview
Gelato, also known as ‘Larry Bird’, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain. A product of Cookie Fam Genetics, it was created through a cross of the infamous Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies strains. This strain is celebrated for its delightful flavour and robust effects.
Effects of Gelato
While Gelato leans slightly towards the indica side with a 55:45 ratio, the effects are more head-focused than sedative. The high begins with an uplifting cerebral impact that hits your forehead with an enhanced sense of euphoria and slightly focused energy. As the head high progressively builds, a creeping body buzz gradually washes over you, leaving you entirely relaxed, calm, and with a sense of peace and well-being.
Despite the indica dominance, this strain is not known to leave you heavily sedated or couch-locked, making it an excellent choice for those who want to remain somewhat active while enjoying the effects.
Medicinal Applications
The balanced effects of Gelato make it a good strain for a variety of medicinal applications. It can potentially provide relief for patients suffering from chronic pain, muscle spasms, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. Additionally, those experiencing headaches or migraines might find Gelato beneficial due to its potent cerebral effects.
Flavour and Aroma
Gelato is as famous for its taste as it is for its effects. It offers a flavour profile that’s said to be akin to sweet sherbet, featuring fruity blueberry and orange nuances. The aroma is equally pleasing, with a lavender citrus berry scent that takes on a woody note as the nugs are broken apart and smoked.
Growth Information
Gelato is a relatively challenging strain to grow and is best suited for experienced cultivators. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but indoor growing allows for more controlled environments. The plant is highly resistant to common diseases and pests and thrives in a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
With its delightful flavour, powerful effects, and medicinal properties, Gelato is a beloved strain among both recreational and medical cannabis users. It’s important to start slow and gradually increase the dose as tolerated, especially if you’re a new user. Always consume responsibly and consult a healthcare professional if using cannabis for medical purposes.

Bag arrived filled with big beautiful toonie sized nugs, great Gelato terps, good burn grey ash and big oil ring around the joint, smooth flavour, this strain works slow on me but lasts a good 3 hours. Great value in my opinion.
