Gelato x Black Lebanon
Also known as: Gelato Black Lebanon, Gelato Black Leb
Gelato x Black Lebanon Strain Overview
Gelato x Black Lebanon is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from crossing the popular Gelato variety with the rare landrace strain Black Lebanon. This cross combines the dessert-like qualities and potency of Gelato with the unique characteristics of Black Lebanon, a strain originating from the Bekaa Valley region of Lebanon. The strain represents a fusion of contemporary breeding techniques with traditional genetics, though specific details about its exact creation timeline and breeder remain somewhat obscure in the cannabis community.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. Flowers often display deep purple and dark green hues inherited from the Black Lebanon parentage, contrasted by bright orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes characteristic of the Gelato lineage. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure. The aroma profile combines sweet, creamy notes from Gelato with earthy, spicy undertones from the Black Lebanon genetics.
Gelato x Black Lebanon is considered a relatively rare strain with limited commercial availability compared to more established hybrids. Its effects are reported to be balanced but leaning slightly toward indica-dominant experiences, making it suitable for evening use. The strain has gained attention among connoisseurs and breeders interested in preserving and working with landrace genetics while incorporating modern desirable traits. Due to its specialized nature, comprehensive laboratory testing data and widespread cultivation information remain limited.

Gelato x Black Lebanon is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors.
