Green Crack Gelato
Also known as: Gelato Crack
Green Crack Gelato Strain Overview
Green Crack Gelato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from crossing two popular strains: Green Crack and Gelato. The exact origins of this cross are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it gained prominence in the late 2010s within the California cannabis scene. This strain represents a fusion of Green Crack's energetic sativa heritage with Gelato's dessert-like indica characteristics, creating a balanced hybrid that has become popular in both recreational and medical cannabis markets.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Green Crack Gelato inherits the compact bud structure from its Gelato parent while maintaining some of the elongated shape characteristic of Green Crack. The aroma profile combines citrus and tropical notes from Green Crack with the creamy, sweet undertones of Gelato.
Notable features include its balanced effects that appeal to both daytime and evening users, along with its complex flavor profile that has made it popular among connoisseurs. The strain has gained recognition for its reliable performance and consistent characteristics across different growing environments. While not as historically established as its parent strains, Green Crack Gelato has developed a dedicated following in regions where it's available.

Green Crack Gelato Strain Growing Information
Green Crack Gelato is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and does well in both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for the dense buds, and monitoring nutrient levels as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training).
