Gelato Cake images
Gelato Cake turns every puff into a slice of cannabis pastry: sweet vanilla, cake and berry flavors, heavy trichome production and compact buds. Its usual THC level of 20-25%, according to our breeders' tests, delivers a deeply relaxing, sleepy high.

What sets Gelato Cake apart from other sweet genetics is its mix of bakery and gas. Creamy vanilla, frosting and ripe berries give way to touches of fuel, pepper, pine and earth. The result is intense, indulgent and recognizable even after curing.
This profile comes from a cross of Gelato #33 and Wedding Cake. The first brings its creamy, fruity and slightly gassy character; the second adds vanilla, dough and cake. Its 75% indica dominance shows in a vigorous structure, with upright stems, even branching and chunky buds that can take on green or purple hues.
The flowers usually finish compact, heavy and sticky at trimming time. A thick layer of trichomes covers the calyxes and orange pistils, giving the buds a frosty look. Growers especially point to that resin coverage and the thick, dense flowers.
You can grow it both indoors and outdoors, and it normally finishes flowering in 8-9 weeks. Our breeders rate it as easy to intermediate, since behavior can vary between phenotypes. Overall it's described as an easy, strong and vigorous plant that needs little work and takes training well.
It responds well to tying down, LST and SCROG. Its even growth makes it easy to spread the branches under a net, but the final weight of the flowers may call for stakes or supports. Put them in before the colas bulk up to keep branches from bending in the final weeks.
The density of the buds calls for constant airflow and close control of humidity. Outdoors it's best suited to places where late flowering is dry and breezy, like much of California or the Southwest. Check inside the colas, especially as harvest gets close, and use moderate defoliation to improve airflow without stripping too much foliage at once.
The high usually builds gradually. At first a calm euphoria may show up, along with happiness, mental clarity and a brief lift in creativity or focus. Then the physical side takes over, with relaxation spreading through the limbs and taking away the urge to stay active.
At higher doses or for people sensitive to THC, that calm can turn into heaviness, couch-lock and strong sleepiness. People who know it agree on a strong, calming, sedating high, better suited to late evening, watching a movie or winding down before bed.
With every puff, vanilla and cake form a sweet cream laced with berries, warm citrus and a finish of gas, pine and pepper. It's like walking into a bakery at the end of the day and finding a deep couch waiting behind the frosting.

Gelato Cake is a clearly indica-dominant hybrid, with a rough makeup of 75% indica and 25% sativa.
Yes, it can suit attentive beginners. It's described as easy, vigorous and strong, although its dense buds call for humidity control, good ventilation and supports once the flowers put on weight.
Gelato Cake responds well to tying down, LST and SCROG. Its fairly even branching makes it easier to open up the structure, spread the light and better support the colas during the final stretch of flowering.
