Larry Bird
Also known as: Larry Bird Kush, Bird Weed, Gelato #33
Overview
Larry Bird, also known as Larry Bird Kush or Gelato #33, is a perfectly balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by crossing Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Named after the legendary Boston Celtics basketball player Larry Bird (who wore jersey number 33), this strain is also considered a phenotype of the famous Gelato line. The strain was developed by Zamnesia Seeds, though some sources attribute its origins to the broader Gelato breeding program. Larry Bird produces dense, resinous buds with colors ranging from deep to light green, accented by wavy red-brown pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The strain inherits traits from its illustrious parent strains, combining the fruity, creamy qualities of Sunset Sherbet with the minty, earthy characteristics of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. With its high THC content and complex terpene profile dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, Larry Bird has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its potent yet balanced effects.

Growing Information
Larry Bird is considered moderately challenging to cultivate, making it suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in early October when grown outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 80-100cm (2.5-3 feet), while outdoor plants can stretch to 120-200cm (4-6 feet). Expected yields are generous, with indoor grows producing 500-750g/m² (up to 24-26 ounces per square meter) and outdoor plants yielding approximately 750g (24-26 ounces) per plant. The strain thrives in temperate, Mediterranean, and moderately humid climates. It prefers warm conditions with high light intensity during vegetation, and benefits from cooler, drier conditions during late flowering to enhance bud density and color development. The strain is somewhat sensitive to growing conditions, making it more suitable for indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be controlled.
