These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →

About Animal Gelato
Genetics & strain profile
Animal Gelato is one of our QCS Originals, bred by Quebec Cannabis Seeds from Gelato, Animal Cookies, Grape Pie and Afghani Skunk: three dessert strains for flavour and resin, and an Afghani Skunk for sturdiness. It is an even 50/50 hybrid with 24 to 27% THC and 1% CBD, rated moderate to grow. It is one of the best-reviewed strains we sell — 21 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5. Two growers independently called it an “S tier” strain, “strong, sticky and delicious”; one got 1.5 lb from a 4×8-foot DWC setup; another had it ready in 55 days with well-ambered trichomes and a smell of “diesel and skunk, for those who know”. The purple hues late in flower come up in review after review. The two four-star reviews are about structure, not quality: both growers found a pheno that stretched hard in flower.
How Animal Gelato grows
The plants reach a medium height in veg, but expect a serious stretch after the flip — one grower’s plants “almost tripled”, and another had heavy buds drooping late in flower until he added a trellis. Flip early, top once and net it. Flowering takes 65 to 75 days indoors — 55 for one reviewer, just over 70 for another — with up to 525 g/m². One experienced grower found it a little touchier than average: bottom-water after repotting to avoid root rot and bring nutrients up slowly. Outdoors it is typically ready in early to mid-October with about 700 g per plant, depending on conditions; the Afghani Skunk side adds resilience and sturdy growth, and a grower in pots noted the yield was modest but would be far bigger in the ground. With cool nights late in flower, the buds turn purple.
Taste, aroma and effect
Sweet cream, ripe berries and citrus, with a light spice that lingers and a skunky, diesel note underneath; reviewers describe compact, frosty, fruity buds. The effect is euphoric and creative with a strong, relaxing body — one grower calls it his “go-to favourite for an all-day weed”, but at 24 to 27% THC it is a strain for people with some tolerance. For the parent, see Gelato; for its siblings in the family, Biscotti and Acai Jelly.

These plants may be a little touchier to grow than other plants. Focus on bottom watering when repotting to avoid root rot, and slowly add nutrients to not make them mad.
The reason this strain is a 5/5 is the end result.
This is an S tier strain.
It's strong, sticky, and delicious. I really love the purple hues that come out later in flower.
Already on my second year growing this strain.

Pheno plutot sativa pour ma part, en stretch la plante a presque triplé en et doublé de hauteur! Une odeur fruité, des têtes super givré et des accent de mauve incroyables. Sortie environ 1.5 lbs sur une surface de 4×8' en dwc . La floraison a été pour ma part a un peu plus de 70 jours. Super strain

Got these as freebies and very happy with the potency and flavor. I grew in pots, not much yield, but I'm sure in the ground I would. Very good strain, highly recommend it.

This strain was a delight to grow. One of the plants took on quite the purple tone. This is currently my go to favorite for an all day weed. Not only is it quite potent, it also tastes delicious. I classify all of the strains I grow. This one I classify as an S tier, must have, strain.

Prête en seulement 55 jours de floraison pour moi avec des trichomes bien ambrés. Je viens tout juste d’essayer après une semaine de cure elle sent déjà incroyablement bon (diesel et moufette pour ceux qui savent). Je viens juste de tester et c’est un incroyable le goût! J’ai bien hâte de voir comment ça se développe dans les semaines à venir. C’était une petite plante qui m’a donné 35g dans ma tente. J’ai sa maman qui commence à fleurir dehors on a hâte à Octobre!

Some of the best I've grown indoors. Terps, potency, structure are all amazing. Very easy to grow, highly reccomend. Stretched a lot in early flower, more than expected. Caused some issues late in flower (heavy buds drooping) but great with a trellis. Can't wait to try this one again. Amazing smoke for sure.

Wow floraison rapide et produit exceptionnel! Je l’ai eu en bonus avec ma commande. Toutes les graines que j’ai commandé sur ce site depuis des années étaient superbes mais les graines bonus sont presque toujours les meilleures du jardin! Quebec White aussi, c’est quelque chose à voir et à consommer WOW!
