Green Gelato is dessert cannabis done properly. Royal Queen Seeds sourced its genetics from the San Francisco Bay Area, where Sunset Sherbet met Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, and selected the standout cut from that project to build a feminized line that tastes as rich as it hits.
Out of countless crosses in the original Gelato work, the #33 “Larry Bird” selection rose to the top for flavor and strength. Green Gelato carries that lineage into a 55% indica / 45% sativa hybrid with THC levels up to 27%.
The strain has trophies to back it up: Green Gelato was voted Best New European Strain for 2019 at the Soft Secrets awards.
Indoors, plants stay at 3 to 4 feet (91–122 cm) and produce 12 to 16 oz/m² (340–455 g/m²). Outdoors they reach 5 to 7 feet (152–213 cm) and can deliver up to 28 oz/plant (795 g/plant) by early October.
Flavor and Effects: A Scoop of Mint, Citrus and Vanilla
The Thin Mint side brings cool mint and sweet cookie dough, while Sunset Sherbet adds a twist of orange citrus. Layered on top are notes of vanilla, earthy Kush and a light pepper tickle on the exhale. Open the jar and baked goods, forest fruit and a loud Kush funk fill the room.
The high arrives in two parts. First comes a bright mental lift: mood turns upbeat, ideas start to move and creativity takes the wheel. Then the body softens into a jellyfish-style relaxation while the mind stays clear. With up to 27% THC, it is wise to start slowly.
Visually, she is just as indulgent. Tight, orange-haired buds wear a heavy trichome layer, and cooler nights late in bloom can tint them lavender and purple.
Growing Green Gelato Seeds
Green Gelato has a very high flower-to-leaf ratio, which makes trimming quick. She responds well to topping, fimming, LST, mainlining and ScrOG; spreading the canopy is the key to yield because buds form in tight, small-to-medium clusters rather than single long colas.
Indoors she finishes in 55–65 days (8–9 weeks) of 12/12. Whether you grow in organic soil or hydro, a thorough flush before harvest brings out the full dessert aroma. A slight drop in night temperatures in the final weeks encourages those purple tones.
