Overview
Cherry Zelato is a premium hybrid cannabis strain bred by Cookies Seed Bank, created through the complex genetic fusion of (Gelato 45 x Watermelon Zkittlez) crossed with Moonbow #112 (Cherry Pie x Planet Purple). This sophisticated breeding program resulted in a roughly 50/50 indica-sativa split, exhibiting up to 60% sativa traits responsible for uplifting cerebral effects and 40% indica traits contributing to deep bodily relaxation. The strain has gained considerable recognition for its exceptional resin production potential, making it highly sought after for hash and concentrate production with trichome-coated buds packed with terpenes and cannabinoids. Cherry Zelato displays striking visual characteristics with oversized, rounded emerald-green nugs featuring dark purple leaves, thin orange pistils, and chunky purple-tinted white crystal trichomes, with vibrant hues ranging from deep green to rich purple accented by fiery orange pistils. The strain's complex genetic lineage and meticulous breeding have established it as a benchmark in the modern cannabis industry, appealing to both recreational users and medical patients seeking balanced effects.
