Gelato 242 Strain Overview
Gelato 242 is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created by Medical Seeds Co. through the crossing of Gelato 41 and Do-Si-Dos. This strain represents the meeting of two prominent American cannabis genetics, combining the renowned Gelato 41 (a cross of Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint) with Do-Si-Dos (a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Face Off OG). The resulting hybrid showcases the best characteristics of both parent strains, inheriting Gelato 41's exquisite sweet and creamy flavor profile along with Do-Si-Dos' potent THC content and unique mentholated characteristics.
Gelato 242 develops a strong pyramidal structure and displays striking visual appeal with chromatic tones that produce buds in various shades of purple, red, and pink. The strain is known for its excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants can reach heights of 1.7 to 2 meters outdoors and are characterized by their vigorous growth, doubling in size as they transition into flowering. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with fiery orange hairs and a sticky coating of trichomes, creating an aesthetically impressive final product that matches its exceptional flavor and potency profile.
