Gelato 31 is the 31st and most promising of the Gelato crop grown by Mystery Seeds out of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This Indica-dominant strain (70/30) was bred as a cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. It contains a high average THC level that fuels its delicious, productivity-fueling effects. The strain’s heritage gives it a sweet (almost overly sweet) flavor mixed with citrus, herbs, and more. Read on to learn the effects you can expect from a dose of Gelato 31, including an increase in focus, creative energy, and relaxation.

Gelato 31 flowers in around 63 days on average. When grown outside, expect an October harvest and a large yield. The strain has around 21% THC on average, including 1% CBD. Its terpenes include D-Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Myrcene, which imbue the strain with herbal, fruity flavors with hints of the outdoors. The Gelato 31 strain’s unique aroma includes flavors of lemon, orange, lime, pungent wood flavors, and layers of extremely sweet tastes resulting from the Sherbet genetics. This tasty layer includes flavors of blueberry and lavender. The Gelato 31 buds grow in large, dense, and misshapen clumps, dark green and purple, with orange pistils and a thick, shiny white coat of resin.

The high starts in your head, which you may not expect from an Indica strain, and energizes you with creative confidence. Gelato 31 never leaves you feeling sedated. Instead, users feel creative and focused, ready to work on their hobbies and relax. The Gelato Buzz spreads across your body, relaxing you as it slowly works its way through your appendages.

This sensation is particularly useful for users suffering from headaches as it can relieve that tension, even as it leaves you so relaxed that you don’t notice pain, inflammation, or fatigue. Gelato 31 pairs well with work and hobbies like drawing and knitting, particularly if you normally suffer from arthritis, fibromyalgia, or traumatic stress, all of which can make focusing and working more difficult. Though the strain is not sedating, its tendency to relax and relieve its users can also help you get to sleep, at least indirectly.

If the combination of super-sweet berry flavors with a woody aftertaste sounds appetizing to you (and you know you can handle the THC), Gelato 31 could be a big strategic move for your long evenings at home.
