Peanutbutter Gelato
Also known as: PB Gelato, Peanut Butter Gelato
Peanutbutter Gelato Strain Overview
Peanutbutter Gelato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines two popular genetics: Peanut Butter Breath and Gelato. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a flavorful, potent variety that would appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain represents a careful blending of indica and sativa characteristics, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity in North American and European markets.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are usually compact and chunky, with a structure that reflects its Gelato lineage. The visual appeal is enhanced by the generous trichome coverage that gives the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance.
Peanutbutter Gelato is particularly recognized for its unique aromatic profile that combines sweet, nutty, and creamy notes with the classic Gelato dessert-like qualities. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant flavor characteristics, which users describe as reminiscent of peanut butter cookies or peanut butter cups. This distinctive flavor profile, combined with its balanced effects, has made it a sought-after strain among connoisseurs and casual users alike.

Peanutbutter Gelato Strain Growing Information
Peanutbutter Gelato is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain at a manageable height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Peanutbutter Gelato responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should maintain stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from regular feeding with balanced nutrients and appreciate a slight temperature drop during late flowering to enhance purple coloration.
