Bacio Belts
Bacio Belts
Also known as: Bacio Belts #21
Overview
Bacio Belts is a modern hybrid strain created by crossing Gelato 41 (also known as Bacio Gelato) with Rainbow Belts 2.0. This dessert-forward hybrid emerged from the 2018-2023 era of West Coast breeding, representing a deliberate fusion of gas, cream, and fruit-candy aromatics into a single, high-potency package. The strain was developed by Raw Genetics in collaboration with Zephyr Seeds and quickly gained traction across California, Oregon, and Nevada dispensaries before spreading nationally through clone exchanges and limited seed drops. Bacio Belts is an indica-dominant hybrid with approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics, delivering a balanced combination of relaxing body effects with uplifting cerebral stimulation. The strain produces dense, frosty buds with vibrant colors ranging from light green to deep purple, showcasing the heavy resin production that makes it popular among both recreational users and hash makers. Its lineage traces back to legendary strains including Sunset Sherbet, Thin Mint Cookies, Moonbow, and Original Z, creating a genetic foundation that emphasizes both potency and flavor complexity.

Growing Information
Bacio Belts is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for both novice and experienced growers. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), while outdoor harvest typically occurs in late September to early October. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields averaging 450-600 grams per square meter and outdoor plants capable of producing up to 3kg per plant under optimal conditions. Plants develop into tall, robust structures with strong horizontal branches and tight nodal spacing. During vegetation, growth is initially slow and stocky, but the strain exhibits significant stretch during flowering. Dense, resinous buds form at branch tips, requiring support systems like trellising or stakes to prevent branch breakage. The strain thrives in various climates and shows good resistance to common pests and diseases. Growers should maintain proper light exposure, moderate humidity levels, and provide adequate nutrition, particularly nitrogen during vegetative growth.
