Heisenberg Shatter Gelato

A clear, glassy concentrate that snaps once chilled, this Heisenberg shatter is named for Gelato, a strain Leafly also knows as Gelato 42, Larry Bird and Zelato. Most people dab shatter, and some crumble it over flower.

Bred from Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies

To Leafly, Gelato is an evenly balanced hybrid, made by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. AllBud traces it to the same two parents but tips it slightly toward indica, at 55% indica to 45% sativa, and our Gelato strain page likewise calls it a balanced hybrid with a slight indica lean.

Sweet, creamy and berry-scented

AllBud likens the taste to sweet sherbet with blueberry and orange, over a very sweet nose of lavender, citrus and berry that picks up a woody edge once the buds are crushed and lit. Leafly’s summary is sweet, fruity and creamy, and caryophyllene tops its terpene data, followed by limonene and humulene. Growers quoted by Leafly report buds that can go deep purple, with bright orange hairs and a glossy white coat of resin crystals.

Reported effects and THC averages

Leafly describes a euphoric high with strong relaxation that comes on quickly and leaves people relaxed yet mentally stimulated; its reviewers most often come away relaxed and euphoric, and its effect scale reads mostly calming. AllBud says that, despite the indica lean, the high is head-heavy rather than couch-locking: a cerebral rush arrives first, with a lifted, euphoric mood and a touch of focused energy, and a creeping body buzz follows. Leafly puts the strain’s average THC at 21%, above the typical strain, while AllBud gives 20% and our Gelato strain page 20 to 25%.
