Frosty Gelato
Frosty Gelato
Also known as: Frosted Gelato
Overview
Frosty Gelato is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Growers Choice Seeds through crossing their proprietary Brain Damage strain with the renowned Gelato cultivar. This strain was later backcrossed with Gelato again to maintain high THC levels while preserving the classic Gelato flavor profile. The result is a premium cannabis variety that won first place at the 2018 Highlife Cannabis Cup in the Skunk Strains category. Frosty Gelato exhibits the characteristic dense, compact buds typical of Gelato genetics, featuring vibrant green coloration with purple highlights and bright orange pistils. The most striking visual feature is its heavy coating of crystalline trichomes that gives the strain its 'frosty' name and creates a glistening, ice-like appearance. The buds are known for their exceptional bag appeal and sticky resin production. The strain combines the best qualities of both parent genetics - Brain Damage contributes intense cerebral effects and full-body relaxation, while Gelato provides balanced euphoria, creativity, and the signature dessert-like flavor profile that made it famous in California's cannabis scene.
