More About the Gelato Strain
The Gelato strain is also sometimes called "Larry Bird" or "Gelato #42". It is a hybrid strain with a nice balance of indica and sativa, though due to its relaxing effects, some may consider it more indica leaning. Balance isn't all that this strain boasts, though - medical marijuana patients report that Gelato works great for pain, fatigue and insomnia.
Gelato is a stunner of a strain, providing sweet and fruity aromas with creamy flavors, exuded from dark purple bud with flashes of orange hairs and frosty white trichomes. Whether from looks, effects, or a combination of both, the strain is so beloved that many phenotypes of Gelato have been cultivated, including numbers 3, 33, 41 and 45.
