Beta-caryophyllene (peppery, spicy, woody notes; highest concentration); D-limonene (citrus, lemon, orange notes; strong secondary); linalool (floral, lavender notes; adds aromatic depth)

Myrcene (earthy, musky, cardamom notes; moderate presence); humulene (woody, herbal notes; synergizes with caryophyllene); pinene (pine notes; trace); ocimene (floral, herbal; trace); terpinolene (sweet, floral; trace); various others contributing subtle coriander, geranium, menthol undertones

Euphoric happiness; mental stimulation with physical relaxation; enhanced creativity and conversation; maintained mental clarity; significant pain numbing; muscle relaxation; increased appetite; dreamy pleasant detachment while remaining functional; enhanced sensory appreciation (music, colors, food)

Effects plateau at 30-45 minutes; peak intensity lasts 2-3 hours; sustained euphoria, creative mental engagement, deep physical comfort; gradual pleasant comedown; mental sharpness softens into dreamy state; total duration 4-6 hours from onset to baseline

Quick onset within minutes; initial cerebral euphoria and mood elevation without anxiety; smooth uplifting mental shift; physical sensation starts behind eyes/temples, cascades downward releasing tension; progression develops over 15-30 minutes deepening both mental and physical effects; euphoria intensifies with enhanced sensory appreciation

Dry mouth (universal); dry eyes (frequent); mild dizziness or headache with overconsumption; anxiety/paranoia uncommon but possible with overconsumption especially in low-tolerance individuals; lung expansion with combustion; start small and hydrate to mitigate most adverse effects

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Early morning productivity requiring sharp sustained focus; driving or operating machinery; high-stress professional environments; individuals prone to anxiety with high-THC strains should start with minimal amounts and assess response

Born in San Francisco Bay Area; cross of Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies; developed by Cookie Fam Genetics and breeder Mario Guzman (Mr. Sherbinski) in mid-2010s; evolved into multiple elite phenotypes including Gelato #33 (Larry Bird), #41 (Bacio), #42, #43, #47, #49

THC: 20-25% typical range; some phenotypes (especially #41) reach 27-29%; CBD: <1%; CBG: 0.25-0.5%; CBC: ~0.1%; high potency creates strong effects satisfying experienced consumers; quick-acting onset; substantial therapeutic relief for discomfort and tension

Wedding Cake (GSC genetics, sweet creamy vanilla/earthy profile, 20-25% THC; more sedating, heavier indica, pronounced earthy/peppery); Ice Cream Cake (Wedding Cake × Gelato #33 descendant, dessert character; more indica-dominant, notably sedating, evening/sleep use); Zkittlez (fruity sweet berry notes, similar terpenes; less complex, straightforward fruit, slightly less potent, gentler cerebral); Sunset Sherbet (direct parent, sweet sherbet/GSC lineage; slightly lower potency, more balanced, less body sedation); Lemon Cherry Gelato (extended family, similar structure/potency; pronounced citrus/cherry, more uplifting/energetic, daytime friendly)

Moderate difficulty; fairly resistant to pests due to diversified genes; sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations requiring attention; prefers warm Mediterranean-like climate 70-85°F days with cooler nights; humidity 60-70% veg, 40-50% flower; adequate airflow crucial to prevent mold/mildew in dense buds; cooler nights (65°F) late flower enhances purple coloration

8-9 weeks (56-63 days) indoor; some phenotypes 7 weeks, others 9-10 weeks; outdoor harvest late September through mid-October in Northern Hemisphere temperate zones

Indoor: 400-600g/m² (1.5-2.5oz/ft²) under optimal conditions; outdoor: 500g-1kg+ per plant with full sun and ample root space; generous yields rich in THC

Short-to-medium height; bushy indica-like architecture; thick sturdy branches; responds well to topping, LST, SCROG methods; benefits from training for even canopy and light penetration; can support dense buds with minimal staking though support helps maximize yields

Exceptional trichome density creating frosty white appearance; sticky tactile resin without wetness; firm dense buds not brittle or compressed; immediately apparent complex multi-note aroma; no harsh chemical or hay-like odors; intensified aromatics and bright resinous interiors when broken; proper moisture content for clean break; visible trichome heads not dusty degraded material; purple hues plus orange pistils standard
