Mr Gelato Ice
Also known as: Mr. Gelato Ice, Gelato Ice
Mr Gelato Ice Strain Overview
Mr Gelato Ice is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two prominent dessert-themed varieties: Gelato and Ice Cream Cake. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the ongoing trend of breeding flavorful, high-potency hybrids with complex terpene profiles. While its exact breeding history is not fully documented, it represents a continuation of the popular Gelato lineage that has dominated West Coast cannabis culture since the mid-2010s.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that display a striking visual appearance with deep purple hues often emerging in cooler growing conditions. The nugs are typically coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them an icy appearance that likely inspired the "Ice" portion of its name. The coloration ranges from forest green to violet, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structure. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Mr Gelato Ice inherits the balanced effects of its parent strains, offering a combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The flavor profile is complex and dessert-like, with prominent sweet and creamy notes complemented by gassy undertones. While not as widely documented as some mainstream Gelato phenotypes, this strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its potent effects and appealing sensory characteristics. Its popularity has grown primarily through clone distribution rather than widespread seed availability.

Mr Gelato Ice Strain Growing Information
Mr Gelato Ice is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive in warm, Mediterranean-style outdoor climates with consistent temperatures.
The plant exhibits a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. It responds well to Screen of Green (SCROG) methods. Indoor plants typically reach 100-150 cm in height, while outdoor plants can grow taller under ideal conditions. This strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers report sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering. The strain produces exceptionally resinous flowers that benefit from proper flushing before harvest.
