Black Truffle Gelato
Also known as: Black Truffle Gelato #41, BTG
Black Truffle Gelato Strain Overview
Black Truffle Gelato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its complex flavor profile and potent effects. This strain was created by crossing Gelato #41 with Black Truffle, resulting in a genetic combination that brings together the dessert-like qualities of Gelato with the earthy, gassy notes of Black Truffle. The strain first emerged in the California cannabis scene around 2018-2019 and has since spread to legal markets across North America and Europe, though it remains relatively rare compared to more established Gelato phenotypes.
The appearance of Black Truffle Gelato is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The nugs typically feature deep purple and dark green hues with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense floral structure. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at the strain's potency. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, indica-dominant structure that breaks apart to reveal complex internal patterns.
Notable features of Black Truffle Gelato include its distinctive aroma that combines sweet, creamy notes with earthy, musky undertones reminiscent of actual black truffles. The flavor profile is equally complex, transitioning from sweet berry and vanilla notes on the inhale to earthy, gassy flavors on the exhale. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced but potent, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Due to its high THC content, Black Truffle Gelato is generally recommended for experienced cannabis consumers.

Black Truffle Gelato Strain Growing Information
Black Truffle Gelato is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants exhibit a hybrid growth pattern with indica-dominant structure, reaching medium height of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. They prefer a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds, providing adequate support for the heavy colas, and implementing a consistent nutrient regimen. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
