This strain is a combination of 60% indica and 40% sativa. It comes from impressive parentage, including Durban, a well-known sativa; Gelato, famous for its intense high; and Hindu Kush, known for its high yields. Gelato is a unique cultivar with genetics from the Girl Scout Cookies family. Sensi Seeds has created their own version of Gelato, combining the Californian personality with their own genetics.
When growing these cannabis seeds, they take a bit longer than usual to complete their flowering period. However, they grow to a considerable height and produce a citrussy, sandalwood aroma with hints of hash. The high from this strain is its biggest attraction, offering a rush of euphoria and creativity along with a potent body-stone.
These seeds are feminized, meaning all the plants they produce will flower as females. This is advantageous for novice growers as they do not need to identify and remove male plants. The flowering time for these plants is around 55 to 75 days, but the resulting buds are worth the wait. Despite being indica-dominant, the plants can grow to fairly large heights, especially when cultivated outdoors.
The plants exhibit strong lateral branching and develop weighty buds during the flowering stage. The long, thick colas form on the central stem and branches, covered in sticky resin. When grown in the right conditions outdoors, they produce good-sized yields. They are also suitable for indoor cultivation. Advanced growers may want to try the SCROG or supercropping techniques for even better results.
The Gelato parentage of this strain is evident in its aroma, taste, and high. It inherits the sweet, fruity, dessert flavors from the Cookie family of cannabis cultivars. The earthy notes of Hindu Kush and the subtle spice of Durban add depth to the blend. When consumed, users will experience a quick-acting body-stone that provides a strong sense of relaxation. The uplifting sativa effects also leave users feeling talkative and creative.
During the flowering period, the plants emit a subtle citrus aroma with hints of sandalwood, mint, and vanilla. As harvest approaches, the smell becomes stronger with a distinct hash undertone. This strain is suitable for discreet cultivation due to its subtle smell. When it comes to taste, users can expect a full, rich flavor with a creamy, fruity aftertaste.
