Hella Gelato
Also known as: Gelato 41 x Gelato 33
Hella Gelato Strain Overview
Hella Gelato is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two distinct Gelato phenotypes: Gelato 41 and Gelato 33. This strain emerged from the California cannabis scene, specifically from the Bay Area breeding community that developed the original Gelato strains. The name reflects both its West Coast origins and its lineage, with 'Hella' being Northern California slang for 'very' or 'extremely,' indicating the strain's intensified Gelato characteristics.
Visually, Hella Gelato typically displays dense, resinous buds with a complex 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. The strain is known for its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet, dessert-like notes with gassy undertones, creating a complex sensory experience that has contributed to its popularity among connoisseurs.
Hella Gelato represents a refinement of the Gelato family, with breeders selecting for specific traits from both parent phenotypes. While not as widely documented as some mainstream Gelato variants, Hella Gelato has gained recognition in cannabis communities for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's genetics reflect the ongoing evolution of the Gelato family, with breeders continuing to develop new expressions of these popular genetics.

Hella Gelato Strain Growing Information
Hella Gelato is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. 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 the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive in Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants may produce larger harvests in optimal conditions. The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for various growing setups. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding noted by some cultivators.
