Blueberry Crystal Gelato
Also known as: Blue Gelato, Berry Gelato, Blueberry Gelato
Overview
Blueberry Crystal Gelato is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Big Head Seeds through crossing Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies with DJ Short's legendary Blueberry strain. This meticulously bred strain represents approximately 70-85% indica genetics with 15-30% sativa heritage, creating a well-balanced hybrid that captures the best of both parent lineages. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis circles for its exceptional visual appeal, featuring dense, pepper-shaped bright green buds adorned with thick orange hairs and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes that give it a frosted, glitter-like appearance.
The strain is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene (0.5-1.0%), limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, which create a distinctive aroma combining sweet blueberry notes with earthy undertones and subtle citrus accents. When properly cultivated, Blueberry Crystal Gelato can develop striking purple and blue hues throughout the buds and leaves, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain typically produces THC levels ranging from 18-29%, making it suitable for both novice and experienced users seeking relaxation and therapeutic benefits.
Blueberry Crystal Gelato has earned a reputation for its therapeutic potential, with users commonly reporting relief from stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia. The strain's effects typically begin with a subtle cerebral onset that promotes mental clarity and mild euphoria, followed by a deeply relaxing body high that can help with physical discomfort and sleep disorders. Its balanced nature makes it versatile for both daytime and evening use, though many prefer it for nighttime consumption due to its relaxing properties.

Growing Information
Blueberry Crystal Gelato is considered moderately easy to grow and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation is preferred for optimal environmental control. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (9 weeks average) and typically grows to heights of 80-130cm indoors. Plants respond well to training techniques such as SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training), which can increase yields by up to 25%. Indoor yields range from 400-600 grams per square meter. The strain prefers humidity levels between 40-50% during flowering and soil pH between 6.0-6.5 for optimal nutrient absorption. Outdoor cultivation should be done in well-ventilated greenhouses to prevent mold, with harvest typically occurring in late October. The plants develop beautiful purple and blue coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures near harvest time.
