Gelato is a hybrid built from Sunset Sherbert and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, two well-regarded parents that have helped it build a loyal following well beyond its origins. Its headline quality is the aroma: a rich, sweet, dessert-like scent that tends to stick in the memory once you have experienced it, which is where the name comes from. Genetically it leans towards the indica side, with a stated ratio of roughly 70 percent indica to 30 percent sativa. Listed THC sits at around 24 percent or more, while CBD is very low at about 0.3 percent. The plants are large and the breeder quotes a substantial yield, in the region of 300 to 400-plus grams per square metre. Flowering is relatively quick, typically taking eight to ten weeks. Medicann positions this variety as one that many people turn to for easing tiredness, and it is offered here as a feminised seed to help growers looking for a dessert-flavoured, heavy-yielding strain with a clear indica character.
