Koolato
Koolato
Also known as: Yukmouth Koolato, Kool-Aid Gelato
Overview
Bred by The Vault Seed Bank, Koolato is a cross between Face on Fire, GSC, and Gelato #33. This strain represents a perfectly balanced 50% indica and 50% sativa hybrid, emerging during the mid-to-late 2010s as part of the Gelato hybrid wave that reshaped cannabis menus. The strain is notably associated with American rapper Yukmouth and represents a collaborative effort between The Vault Seed Bank, Gas Co Cannabis, and the artist. The strain's name is an intentional mash-up, evoking the dessert-forward Gelato lineage and a nostalgic "Kool-Aid" grape-candy vibe reported by many consumers.
Visually, buds come in a rich dark purple color that contrasts beautifully with the stark white trichomes and orange pistils. Buds are bulbous and dense and emanate a smooth citrus aroma. The dark purple hue indicates a high anthocyanin content, pigments that flourish under specific growing conditions and are responsible for the vibrant purple coloring. The thick coating of white trichomes that envelops each bud isn't just for show; these microscopic hair-like structures are rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, playing a significant role in the strain's potent effects and aromatic profile.
