The Famous High Times Cannabis Cup Winner: Gelato #41

If you're familiar with the world-famous Gelato strain, then you're probably aware that there are many versions of the strain that each have their own desirable traits. Of those phenotypes, Gelato #41 is one of the best-known and highly sought-after.

Gelato #41 flowers have a wide array of colors, ranging from light green and dark green to purple hues, with white trichomes and a huge amount of bright orange pistils. It truly is a beautiful plant.

If you've never tried Gelato #41, you should find it at a nearby dispensary and change that reality immediately.

What is Gelato #41?

Gelato #41 is a phenotype of Gelato, that was created by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint GSC). Two breeders, Growers Choice Seeds and Flavour Chasers, are credited with discovering and having their own versions of Gelato #41.

Phenotypes are individualistic versions of certain genetics. What that means is that sometimes parent strains, like Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC, produce offspring that all look, smell, taste, and feel differently. It's kind of like how you and your siblings may all look and act differently despite having the same mom and dad.

Gelato has many popular phenotypes, including #25, #33, and #45, and of course #41 that we're discussing in this post. #41 is a special strain beloved by breeders, growers, and consumers alike.

How does Gelato #41 smell and taste?

Gelato #41 flowers and extracts typically smell and taste like sweet lavender, berries, citrus, and pine.

Gelato #41's terpene combines an abundance of caryophyllene, a plant terpene found in spices, black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon; the citrusy limonene is present in the rinds of fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits; the hoppy humulene is also found in sage and ginseng; and the terpene myrcene, which is present in lemongrass and mangos.

What are Gelato #41's effects?

Gelato #41 can be described as the uplifting, daytime version of Gelato (in contrast to Gelato #25 and #33's heavily relaxing effects). Its most commonly reported effects are relaxed, euphoric, and happy.

The initial head rush of the strain hits and doesn't leave the face. It creates a goofy euphoria that makes creative activities more fun. Because of this, Gelato #41 is a great social strain to share with friends or consume before or during a night out. It's also a great strain to consume in the morning, as the effects will help you be consistently productive for several hours.

Is Gelato #41 a body high or a head high?

Each cannabis consumer experiences a different type of high. What feels like a body high to you may feel like a head high to someone else, and vice versa. That is due to all of them having different body types, cannabis experience levels, and endocannabinoid systems (ECS). The only way to know how Gelato #41 hits for you is to consume the strain and monitor your response to it.

That said, Gelato #41 tends to be felt more in the head than the body. When you first smoke it, the cerebral euphoria leaves a certain warmth in the face that will have you feeling giddy and stress-free. Some physical relaxing sensations show up after time, but for the most part, Gelato #41's high stays on the brain.

When you're buying Gelato #41, whether it be for smoking, dabbing, or vaping weed pens, make sure to only purchase the products from legal dispensaries that sell reputable brands. This is the best way to ensure you get a high-quality experience from your Gelato #41.
