Gelato Crush
Also known as: Gelato Crush #41
Gelato Crush Strain Overview
Gelato Crush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed as part of the popular Gelato family, which originated in the San Francisco Bay Area's cannabis breeding scene. This particular phenotype emerged from careful selection within the Gelato genetic pool, though its exact breeding lineage remains somewhat proprietary among breeders. The strain represents the continued refinement of dessert-themed genetics that have gained significant popularity in both medical and recreational markets since the mid-2010s.
Visually, Gelato Crush typically displays dense, resinous buds with a distinctive color palette ranging from deep purple to forest green, often accented with vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's name references both its Gelato heritage and the 'crush' of trichomes visible on mature flowers, which contributes to its aesthetic appeal and resin production.
Notable characteristics include a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, making it particularly appealing to connoisseurs. The strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects and reliable performance, though it remains less documented than some of its more famous Gelato relatives. As with many modern hybrids, precise genetic information is sometimes closely guarded by breeders, contributing to some uncertainty about its exact origins and development history.

Gelato Crush Strain Growing Information
Gelato Crush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant exhibits a bushy structure with medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. It prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Indoor cultivation is recommended for most growers due to better environmental control. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds, careful nutrient management to avoid nutrient burn, and monitoring for common pests. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
