Seb's take
Sweet pine and skunk from the same Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies pairing, here landing almost dead centre between Indica and Sativa. The high is happy and euphoric before it relaxes, vigorous and generous in the garden regardless of experience. A forgiving strain for beginners, with cash-crop yields for everyone else.
Where it comes from
Barney's Farm crossed Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies for this one, the same familiar Gelato pairing, here landing almost dead centre at 60% indica to 40% sativa. The breeder mixed the sweetest and strongest varieties of the modern American market, the record has it, to get a vigorous plant with enormous yields. A near-perfectly balanced hybrid, and one built as much for the grower as for the connoisseur, a cinch to grow either way.
Nose & flavour
Sweet on the nose, with a skunky pungency carrying underneath and pine lending a resinous, evergreen edge. It is a fuller, more savoury profile than some of its dessert-line siblings, the skunk grounding the sweetness and the pine keeping it fresh. A characterful aroma that does not travel discreetly, drawn from a lineage assembled for strength and sweetness in equal measure.
The high
Happy and euphoric before it relaxes, an even, well-rounded experience true to her near-balanced split. It lifts the mood first, then settles the body, neither side overrunning the other. A comfortable, agreeable high, cheerful at the top and grounded by the end, the sort that suits company or a quiet evening equally. A faithful, balanced expression of the Gelato character.
Growing it
A feminized line flowering in 70 days, reaching 100 to 120cm, a manageable stature for most tents. The yield is the headline, 650 to 700 g/m², a heavy return the record rightly calls enormous. She is described as a cinch to grow, a vigorous plant well suited to beginners and cash-crop growers alike. At 22% THC with just 0.1% CBD she is strong. Forgiving of enthusiasm and generous for it, she suits a grower who wants weight without a difficult temperament to manage.
