Mochi
Also known as: Mochi Gelato, Mochilato, Gelato 47
Overview
Mochi, also known as Mochi Gelato, is a premium hybrid cannabis strain created by Sherbinskis, the renowned San Francisco-based breeder from Cookie Fam Genetics. This evenly balanced 50/50 hybrid is the result of crossing two celebrated strains: Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. The strain takes its name from the traditional Japanese rice cake dessert, reflecting its smooth, dessert-like flavor profile and mellow effects. Developed by San Francisco-based growers Sherbinskis, Mochi is a combination of staple hybrid Girl Scout Cookies and fruity Sunset Sherbet, created by the renowned growers at Sherbinskis as a cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies.
Mochi is immediately recognizable for its exceptional visual appeal, featuring dense, spade-shaped buds with a complex color palette. The buds establish their bag appeal immediately with large, colorful flowers that cling together in a pronounced conical formation, with a dense internal structure and tightly-coiled leaves showing a stunning mix of mossy green and deep purple courtesy of high concentrations of anthocyanin, finished with curly orange pistils. The strain is notorious for being difficult to obtain as Sherbinskis has not cultivated seeds of Mochi for online purchase, instead requiring those looking to grow at home to seek out trusted cultivation sources to obtain clippings for clones.

Growing Information
Growing Mochi requires moderate experience and attention to detail, with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and outdoor harvests ready by late September to early October. The strain grows short and compact, making it suitable for limited space, but requires precise monitoring of environmental factors and regular trimming. Sources report it is moderately difficult to grow, thriving in controlled environments with consistent humidity levels and temperatures ranging from 68-78°F for indoor cultivation, or warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil for outdoor growing. Indoor yields are typically 350-500 grams per square meter depending on growing techniques. Propagation happens almost exclusively through cloning as seeds are not commercially available.
