Gelly
Also known as: Gelato 41, Gelato #41
Gelly Strain Overview
Gelly, also known as Gelato 41 or Gelato #41, is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype of the renowned Gelato family. This strain was developed by the Cookie Fam Genetics collective, which has been instrumental in creating many of the West Coast's most celebrated cultivars. Gelly emerged as a standout phenotype from the original Gelato (also known as Larry Bird) cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. The '41' designation refers to its specific genetic expression within the Gelato family, which includes several numbered phenotypes each with slightly different characteristics.
Visually, Gelly plants produce dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the strain its jelly-like appearance and name. The buds are often golf ball-sized and extremely dense, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage. The coloration can vary depending on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures often enhancing the purple pigmentation.
Gelly has gained significant popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain is particularly noted for its consistency when grown properly, maintaining its distinctive characteristics across different cultivation environments. While not as widely available as some mainstream Gelato phenotypes, Gelly has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its specific expression of the Gelato genetics.

Gelly Strain Growing Information
Gelly is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. Gelly prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. The plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure), providing adequate support for heavy colas, and implementing proper nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can significantly improve yields.
