Editorial profile

Gelato #25 in detail

Origin & classification

Gelato #25 is a numbered selection from Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint GSC and is also known as Guava Gelato. Here, the name Guava refers to the phenotype and not to an additional parent. The selection belongs to the early Gelato family from the Cookies and Sherbinskis sphere and shows a more indica-dominant balance within the same basic genetics.

Aroma & flavour

The aroma begins sweet, creamy and vanilla-like. Citrus and a zesty fruit note add brightness to the dessert profile, while mint, pastry and a finely spicy or slightly cheesy nuance create greater depth. Caryophyllene, Limonene and Myrcene form the most important documented terpene framework. Linalool adds a softer floral aspect without displacing the creamy foundation.

Terpene profile

The typical effects begin euphoric, mood-enhancing and sociable. The mind initially remains present and talkative, while physical calm gradually develops. Later, relaxation and sleepiness may become more pronounced. Gelato #25 therefore does not feel immediately heavy, but develops noticeably more physical weight than some brighter or more strongly sativa-influenced Gelato selections.

Typical effects

The documented THC range is often approximately between 20 and 25 percent. CBD is around one percent and therefore secondary. The flowering time is approximately eight to ten weeks. Visually, the phenotype shows the typical Gelato direction with compact, heavily frosted flowers, darker colouration and prominent orange pistils.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

In the family tree, Gelato #25 descends through Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC. Sunset Sherbet brings together Cookies and Pink Panties ancestry. Thin Mint GSC combines OG Kush with Durban. The tree therefore represents the same genetic starting point as the general Gelato profile; the number 25 identifies the specific selection from this cross.

Further classification

Compared with the general Gelato profile, number 25 comes across as creamier, more physically oriented and calmer over time. Compared with Gelato #33, less bright fruit and more soft vanilla take centre stage. Gelato #25 was also used as a parent of Biscotti, where the creamy dessert side is carried in a darker, gassier direction with South Florida OG.
