In this blog, we delve deep into the world of Gelato: from its origins to the pleasure it offers, and how you can get the most out of it.

Looking for a potent, flavorful cannabis strain that will tantalize your senses? Discover Gelato —an iconic hybrid with a unique flavor and intense high. Available exclusively through the Novus Fumus smartshop.

Genetics and Origin

Gelato, also known as Larry Bird Kush , was developed by Cookie Fam Genetics in California. The cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies resulted in a perfectly balanced hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) that gained popularity worldwide for its potency, flavor, and stability.

Taste and Aroma

Gelato is a treat for your taste buds. The flowers smell of a blend of sweet berries, citrus, and vanilla , with a slightly spicy undertone. The flavor is equally tempting: creamy, fruity, and perfectly balanced—like smoking a scoop of artisanal ice cream.

THC Content and Recreational Effects

With a THC content between 20% and 26%, Gelato is one of the more potent strains on the market. The high is noticeable quickly: a euphoric mental boost combined with mild physical relaxation . Perfect for:

Creative activities
Cozy evenings with friends
Relaxation without fatigue

Tip: Use a quality vaporizer from Novus Fumus to get the most out of all the flavors.

Breeding information

Gelato is popular with both novice and experienced growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 8–9 weeks and produces compact plants with dense, resinous buds. The purple hues and strong aroma also make it visually appealing.
