Purple Gelato
Purple Gelato
Also known as: Gelato #33, Purple Gelato Lemon Bean
Overview
Purple Gelato is a celebrated hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from California's renowned cannabis breeding scene. This strain is the result of crossing two legendary genetics: Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, creating a perfectly balanced 50% indica/50% sativa hybrid. Originally developed within the Cookie Family genetics lineage, which includes influential breeders like Mario Guzman (Mr. Sherbinski), Purple Gelato represents the evolution of modern cannabis breeding focused on exceptional flavor profiles and potent effects.
The strain displays stunning visual characteristics with dense, grape-shaped bright emerald-green buds adorned with deep purple undertones and vibrant orange pistils. The rich purple coloration develops when anthocyanin pigments are activated by cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of frosty trichomes covers the compact, resinous buds, giving them a crystalline appearance that reflects the strain's high potency. Purple Gelato has become highly sought after for its combination of dessert-like flavors, balanced effects, and impressive cannabinoid content, establishing itself as a cornerstone strain in modern cannabis culture.

Growing Information
Purple Gelato is moderately challenging to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain thrives in warm, humid Mediterranean-like climates with temperatures around 70-81°F (21-27°C). It can be grown both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 8-10 weeks. Indoor plants typically reach medium height (80-130cm) and yield 16-20 oz/m², while outdoor plants can produce 14-21 oz per plant when harvested in late October. The strain requires precise environmental control to preserve its terpene profile and potency. During flowering, humidity should be reduced to 40-50% to prevent mold. Plants may need support during the flowering phase due to dense bud development. Purple Gelato responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) training methods and benefits from organic soil cultivation.
