818 - Gelato
Gelato 33 - also known as “ Larry Bird “ is the creation from our friends over at Sherbinski. The offspring of the amazingly tasty Sunset Sherbet and the infamous thin mint cut of Girl Scout Cookies. In our opinion, the most majestic of all Gelato cuts puts on a good show during flower with a 3x stretch. The effects are euphoric and soaring. As with all Gelatos, it’s comforting and introspective. Great for a mid day activity or end of day Netflix session. High cannabinoid levels and a fantastic creamy aftertaste, blended with the gassy cookie undertones. Pushes all the buttons, a real gem from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Gelato is a cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, named in homage to its sweet aroma. Also known as Larry Bird, Gelato (#33) was first cultivated in Northern California's Bay Area and is derived from a deep bank of genetics created by the Cookie Family, the Sherbinskis family, and cultivator Mario Guzman.
The cultivators parted ways following its creation, and the cultivator who possesses the most “stable version” of Gelato genetics is up for debate. Cookies cultivates a few phenotypes and descendants of the strain named Gelato #42, Dolce Gelato, and a sun-grown Gelato. Sherbinskis grows four stabilized Gelato phenotypes in its rotation as well: Gelato #41 (Bacio Gelato), Gelato #43 (Gello Gelato), Gelato #47 (Mochi Gelato), and Gelato #49 (Acai Berry Gelato). Per Sherbinskis, the #33 phenotype is no longer in cultivation.
