How to grow Gelato 33
Taste
Seb's take
Sweet, earthy Cookies aroma from a Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies cross — its number, incidentally, a nod to Larry Bird rather than any potency ranking. The high is relaxed, happy, and euphoric, Indica-leaning throughout. Fast to flower and generous in yield, she scores regardless of the reference.
Where it comes from
Advanced Seeds built this from a Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies cross, the classic Gelato foundation. The number, incidentally, is a homage to the basketball legend Larry Bird rather than any potency ranking, a detail not everyone knows. The Sherbet lends the sweet creaminess, the Cookies the depth, and the record promises the finest qualities throughout: fast flowering, massive yields, and extreme potency. A phenotype of the original, and a faithful one at that.
Nose & flavour
Sweet on the nose, with an earthy base grounding it and a clear Cookies note running through, drawn straight from the Girl Scout Cookies parentage. It is a warm, dessert-leaning aroma, the sweetness and the earth balancing one another so neither runs away. A moreish, well-rounded profile, the Cookies heritage announcing itself plainly enough for anyone who knows the family.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, an indica-leaning experience that settles the body while lifting the mood. It is a comfortable, even high rather than a demanding one, the sort that eases you into an armchair without dimming the good humour. A faithful expression of the Gelato character, agreeable and settled, and it scores whether or not you catch the reference behind its number.
Growing it
A feminized line that finishes fast, flowering in 55 to 60 days, reaching 90 to 120cm, so a manageable stature for most tents. The yield lands at a generous 550 to 600 g/m². At 25% THC she carries the extreme potency the record promises, so plan your cure accordingly. Between the fast flowering, the massive yield and the strength, she is the trifecta the record makes her out to be, and an easy recommendation for an indica grower who wants all three at once.
