Hybrid

Acai Berry Gelato

A cross between Pink Panties and Sunset Sherbet strains (cultivars), Acai Berry Gelato is a sativa-dominant hybrid of 70% sativa and 30% indica. Its tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) level is a moderate 15%-19%, with cannabidiol (CBD) content of less than 1%. Acai Berry has been reported as having uplifting, talkative effects and a lemony, piney, flowery, berry flavor. Acai Berry may be useful for managing stress, anxiety, depression, headaches, ADHD, and lack of appetite.

The Acai Berry Gelato strain is a sativa-dominant strain bred by Sherbinskis, the founders of several gelato family strains. It offers a full-flavored smoke with sweet and fruity notes, hints of earth reminiscent of other gelato strains, and a slightly sour tropical exhale. The Acai Berry Gelato high is reportedly carefree, uplifting, and non-sedating, making it a perfect daytime option.

Terpenes

The alpha-bisabolol and myrcene terpenes give the Acai Berry Gelato strain its sweet, citrus, and woody pine notes. In contrast, the limonene and beta-caryophyllene terpenes provide an earthy effect with tropical, sweet undertones. The result is a sweet smoke that will envision you spending long days relaxing on tropical beaches in the summer sun.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Users of Acai Berry Gelato report that this strain produces a mellow high that will lift your spirits, calm your mental state, and leave you feeling happy and uplifted.

Acai Berry Gelato is an excellent option for relaxing your mind and body, chasing away negative thoughts, and focusing your attention. This is because this strain doesn’t just balance your mood; It also increases your cerebral energy, giving you a notable boost in productivity and focused creativity that will help you achieve whatever it is that you’re working on without negative self-talk or racing thoughts to distract you or slow you down.

However, like other strains relatively high in THC, Acai Berry Gelato can negatively affect those sensitive to terpenes and other cannabis compounds.

Medical Applications

The Acai Berry Gelato strain has many therapeutic applications due to its mellow high, mood stabilizing, and stress relieving effects. It has been known to help with headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue, and insomnia. The strain can also help ease chronic pain and the symptoms of depression. Cannabis may help with conditions like headaches/migraines, stress, anxiety, and nausea due to its ability to modulate serotonin transmission and increase the amount of anandamide available in the body.

Headache/migraine

Cannabis’ ability to modulate serotonin transmission can help relieve the intensity and frequency of headaches in some cases.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to relieve some pain and other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Insomnia

THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter adenosine.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from the pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.

Depression

Cannabinoids like CBD can help modulate serotonin transmission, giving it anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.

Dosing

The 15%-19% THC level makes this strain moderate to high in strength, generally resulting in a typically happy high. This strain can help you feel elevated but won’t knock you out. However, because the THC level can verge on high, Acai Berry Gelato is best suited for frequent or experienced users, and it’s best to start with a small dose and work your way up slowly rather than risk taking too much and experiencing adverse effects.

Growing

The Acai Berry Gelato plant is tall and has slender leaves that reflect its sativa genes with tight bunches of dense buds. The deep green buds show purple hints and thin, orange hairs with tiny, deep amber crystal trichomes.

This strain is considered challenging to grow partly because the strain is mainly sold online as clones. However, if you can get your hands on the original strain and have the chance to grow it yourself, it’s usually a little hardier and more forgiving than indicas.

Acai Berry Gelato can be grown outdoors and indoors; however, its sativa-heavy genetics means that the plants can grow up to 6 feet tall, making growing them indoors tricky. The outdoor yield size is about 15-20 ounces per plant (approximately 550 g/plant), while the indoor yield size is 1-2 ounces per square foot (about 400 g/m²). If you are growing the plants inside, keep the grow room warm and dry, and ensure that the cannabis plants receive adequate exposure to light. The Acai Berry Gelato strain is a photoperiod flower, which means it needs over 12 hours of darkness to initiate the flowering phase properly.

Height

This strain grows tall and can reach a height of 60-80 inches (152-203 cm) when grown indoors or outdoors.

Humidity and Temperature

In general, all Gelato cannabis strains thrive in warm and humid environments. If you are not cultivating in a region with a warm and humid climate, it is recommended that you try to replicate the conditions indoors.

Flowering

The Acai Berry Gelato strain has an average flowering time of 58-61 days.
