Platinum Gelato

The origins of Platinum Gelato depend on who you ask. Given the name, you’d likely think it’s a child strain of the famous Gelato 45 — and in at least one instance, you’d be right. While one version of Platinum Gelato crosses Platinum Kush with Gelato to create a true hybrid with an intensely sweet aroma, another crosses Gelato and Platinum Purple Candy with surprising results — an earthy, buttery aroma with vanilla and cream notes. But far and away, the most common version of Platinum Gelato was created by breeding Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies credited to Seed Junky Genetics. This indica leaner likely gets its name from its parent dessert strains because Platinum Gelato certainly doesn’t smell sweet or dessert like. Instead, strong notes of skunk, sour grapes, and spicy herbs overwhelm you when you open the bag.
