Behold, Gelato.

in cannabis •  7 years ago 

Their are thousands of varieties of cannabis, all with their own distinct appearance, taste, smell, and medical properties. I love exploring this immense world, and experience the different genetics from different growers, using different techniques, in different environments. The spectrum of aroma, and taste found in cannabis is vast indeed, and just when I thought I've experienced every flavor, explored every terpene profile conceivable, someone breeds something special that knocks me off my feet. With so many flavors to love, and so many growers, and breeders pushing the limits, it's hard for me to pick one strain as my "favorite". If I absolutely had to, if you put a gun to my head and told me to choose, it would have to be the infamous Gelato.

So obviously I was stoked when I saw we were bringing some cuts into the facility. This is our first round with her, and I'm excited, and nervous. So badly I want her to taste like the Gelato I first tried that stole my heart. Gelato is a member of the Cookie Family coming from Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie and the beautiful Sunset Sherbert, and she makes the family proud. A heavy hitting indica testing above 30% in a lot of cases, she is definitely a powerhouse when grown by an experienced farmer.

She grows short, and stocky like an indica, with rock hard popcorn nugs going up the branches, and not to many leaves. She starts producing resin super early, these photos are Week 8, I'm expecting her to be oozing by harvest in 2 more weeks. Like every other member of the cookie family, Gelato is known for its potent, dessert-like, terp profile. We only have a few Gelato plants in the room but she overpowers every other strain in there, with a tantalizing aroma reminding me of that sweet taste that's only a few weeks away.

I can't wait to see how this turns out, I will definitely share some photos of the finished Product when we're all done. I'm gonna order some seeds and give her a try at my home garden next month which I'll also keep you guys up to date with.

I wanted to give a shout out to all my new followers. It seems like my following has been exploding over the last few weeks and I'm nearing 2000 now. I'm so happy to have all the support I do, I truly love this community we're building on this revolutionary platform. I know it seems impossible to get attention, and make money when you're a new minnow on the platform but don't give up! Read, interact, ask questions, and make the best content possible. Even if you're just joining the party, you're still an early pioneer. Take advantage of the opportunity and don't give up! A lot of people post for months before they even get a few pennies in a payout. Just keep grinding, and you'll get something special out of steemit, even if it's not money. We're building something beautiful here. Forever on the blockchain.

Looks delicious, I could just put in a spoon with a straw and lighter

Thanks! I just checked out your page for the first time. I really like the drug war stories, hits home for me. Keep up the good work. Followed!

thanks bud, hopefully we will be free soemday, will try to keep pumping out the truth. Here is some political bullshit my band did about the failed war btw:

You are my kind of pothead. I feel the same way.. So many flavors, so many colors, so many smells.. Each grower grows each strain different and it changed the product. I have yet to try Gelatto, but if you says its your favorite I am having to try this! When will it be ready at your work? When will it be ready in your home garden lol? Lets have a steemit smoke up, and 1up the normal meetups!

I also completely agree about the platform too, Just keep trying and keep posting. You are a very good example of this. I always enjoyed your stuff. Your dog and your nugs. The hammocks, the bowls. Yet you never got what you deserved, you stayed and kept posting though.. and your doing well now, killing it. Showing off the prettiest nugs. You and weedporn are good peoples! I'm glad I have met you guys

A meetup would be great! We harvest this in two weeks so it will probably be ready to smoke in 3 1/2 weeks. I'm putting up lights on my new house I move into the beginning of march, so I'm still months away from my own harvest. I glad to have met you to brother! Where are you located? We definitely need to have a steem smoke out!

Nevada/az/Utah border.. so close enough. It's legal fully in Nevada. So a Meetup would be nicest in vegas or something lol! I would do it wherever though, but if we set something up I would get a couple rooms in Vegas for people who wanted to make it.. regardless I will make it to say yo one of these days! Or come up and we can explore the mountains up here

Damn you're close! I'm supposed to go to vegas in May, we'll have to get together for sure!

Hey dudes I want in from Sedona/Prescott to try this smelly lady out...set it up I am in. Let me know

We're building something beautiful here. Forever on the blockchain.

And here's an opportunity to support both, the blockchain and cannabis, and a Steemit newbie too LOL:

wow, that looks amazing!

Thank you!

Gelato sounds so Epic! One of my faves lately has been Sherbert Cookies, close lineage!

Is there a cannabis focused discord channel yet?

Sherbert is one of her parents! The cookie family are my favorite breeders by far. I'm sure there is a cannabis discord channel, but I'm not sure what it is. I'll keep an eye out though!

forever on the blockchain

this dank bud looks like you left it outside in snowfall 🌿

Wow.... Gelatto? This is my first time of hearing about it. I have tried several species of cannabis, with different flavors too. I'll seriosly like to have a feel of this Gelatto so I'll confirm for myself. And like @drpuffnsnuff rightly said, let's have a steemit smoke up 😂 😂 😂
Nice post, informative too

Yes you have to try it! So flavorfull! Like nothing else I swear.

I dnt really know much about canabis just know that it's a hard drug but u enlighten me a little about it.
And for the advice , i am also a newbie and i am really finding it difficult to cope but from what u just wrote i am enlighten and encouraged to keep moving.Thanks @dajohns1420

I would disagree with the statement that cannabis is a "hard drug." Best of luck to you, though!

I'm glad steemit exists because it truly is a mixed bag of users, sharing ideas and opinions, and experience. My experience with the cannabis plant has been great, I've personally helped dozens of people get off prescription drugs, for physical and psychological reasons, and have seen their lives greatly improve by implementing cannabis products into their lifestyle.

@samson12 what do you think of CBD products? It doesnt get you high and its super good for the body and brain.

THC, the part that does get you high, has a lot of proven medicinal benefits as well. Some people are morally against "getting high" though so, if you feel that way then don't get high :)

Mostly everyone who is making money posted for months, spent hours upon hours writing, researching and curating for a small or non-existence payout. just keep working harder and harder and everntually you'll get a following. It's not easy, but don't give up!

WOW, thats frosty. Nom nom nom ! 420 !

Thank you!

Frosty and oh so colorful!

Beautiful flower, and very nice reading article☺. And I definitely agree about the steemit community platform, it's awesome!

Thank you!

Gelato

Even the name sounds tasty xD

Gelato is known for its potent, dessert-like, terp profile

Can you explain a little better for a non english person what you mean by terp profile? I've never heard that word before in my whole life...

Terp profile is short for terpene profile. Cannabis has many different cannabinoids, one being the THC that gets you high. There are other compounds called terpenes That give it its taste, smell, and feeling. This is what makes one strain of marijuana different from another. They have different combinations of terpenes. Terpenes are found in most plants actually, and are extracted to make essential oils. There are hundreds of different terpenes which is why we have so many different varieties of cannabis. Different profiles have different effects when consumed. Some terps put you to sleep, some wake you up, some kill pain, some help with anxiety, and we're getting better at understanding which terps treat which ailments.

When I say that Gelato is known for its dessert like terp profile I'm saying the terpenes provide an awesome dessert like flavor.

This article can explain it better than me

Thanks for the info dude, i didn't know any of this!

The glory of the aromatic story of Gelato, both of her parents would be proud to know that she is blistering with the frost of the gods,

My, what weed porn you produce, with this eloquent story and spectacular nudes of this beauty, she looks so alive...not seen her at my fav dispinsery, but I've had a happy time with her parents.
Really cool fun and informative read
Lynn

Very berry nice! Good to see you hitting higher payouts.👍

I know, I think this is my biggest payout yet! By $ at least

Man, this buds looks like amazing and tasty. I've started my first grow some days ago, the only problem is that ain't legal here in Brazil yet..

Great post Daniel, you're post is so well written that I can still see that delicious sundae when I close my eyes :) I am brand new to Steemit (3 days) and was wondering is there some kind of leafly type community within Steemit ?

Marijuana thoughts they said that sinarists of science fiction films smoke it and help them to produce the idea of ​​the film

Gotta love frosty buds! : )

It looks nice, hope can try 1 of these.
