Gelato lab report

Gelato reached the 25% total THC line in 23% of flower tests (about 2 in 10); the 20% cutoff was much more common at 66%, while 30% stayed rare at 3.3%.¹

Maryland was the higher-odds state: 76% of its 469 tests reached the 20% THC line, and its median was 22.24%; Nevada posted 55% of 332 with a 21.18% median.¹ State gaps blend plant material with market-specific growers, labs and testing rules.

Yes, seed-seller figures run high for Gelato relative to database figures: two of five single outside THC figures were above the 21.58% median, and tests got to the peak single claim, Crop King's 27%, only 11% of the time (about 1 in 9).^1,2

AllBud's 20% single figure is closer to the common lab result: 66% of tests reached that line (about 7 in 10).^1,4 Sellers set a tougher bar than databases in this check; tests reached the median seller figure 16% of the time and the median database figure 61%.¹

Published ranges were uneven: 18–26% from Weedmaps covered 66% of tests, while 26–28% from Barney’s Farm covered 7.5%.^1,5,6 These outside values are not a substitute for a batch certificate.

Yes, Gelato has a lead terpene, though the lead is not overwhelming: β-caryophyllene was top in 240 of 371 tests (65%), versus 18% for β-myrcene and 15% for limonene.¹

The outside terpene claim matches the labs: Leafly names caryophyllene, and β-caryophyllene led 65% of tests.^1,9 Because Nevada accounts for 331 of 371 terpene tests, this split mostly reflects flower tested there.¹

Gelato is very close to Gushers by terpene profile, with a 96% overlap and β-caryophyllene leading; the next closest are Sherbet at 93% with β-caryophyllene leading and OG Kush at 93% with β-caryophyllene leading, while Durban Poison is lowest among 36 compared strains at 41%, led by terpinolene.¹

Method: for each strain, we take median results for eight terpenes, recast them as portions of that eight-terpene total, then score how much of the profiles overlaps; identical mixes score 100. The comparison requires at least 30 tests with individual terpene values.¹ It is chemistry only, not a prediction of how Gelato feels.

Among qualifying strains, Gelato lands in the middle third for THC among compared strains, ranking 22nd of 52 by median total THC at 21.58%; the neighboring medians are Sour Diesel at 21.68% and Candyland at 20.99%.¹

For the 25% cutoff, its 23% share puts Gelato at 20th.¹ Its middle-half span is 18.91%–24.70%, or 5.79 points, ranking 34th narrowest of 52 qualifying strains, which is about average consistency.¹

On flower drawn from differing growers and state programs, Gelato's by-lab THC spread is 12.76 points: after filtering to labs with at least 20 tests, median THC ran from 18.33% at Lab I in Michigan to 31.09% at Lab S in Nevada across 19 labs.¹

Michigan did not erase the spread: its eight labs meeting the 20-test cutoff covered 18.33%–23.09%, a difference of 4.76 points.¹

Different growers send different flower to different labs, so these gaps do not prove that a lab reads high; they show the combined cultivation-and-testing spread behind label THC. Lab names are masked here; Lab A is the highest-volume lab in this dataset, and the download gives the real names.

Yes, terpene totals rise with THC in Gelato: across 830 paired tests, results at 24.89% THC or above had a 2.41% median, while results at 20.10% or below had 1.44%, a difference of 0.97 points.¹

By state, the result repeated in two of two states meeting the 30-pair minimum: Maryland up and Nevada up; Maryland's low-THC third had median total terpenes of 1.70%, and its high-THC third had 2.59%.¹ Total terpenes are aroma compounds by weight and do not indicate effects.

Yes in Maryland, but across all states Gelato was nearly flat: the median was 20.88% in 2018 on 86 tests and 21.41% in 2024 on 30, a change of +0.53 points.¹

Within Maryland, the picture is steeper: median THC for 2018 was 20.72%; for 2023, it was 22.14%, a change of +1.42 points.¹ The all-state line therefore also reflects which states contributed tests.

Years below the 20-test floor are not used in this trend check.¹

The longer-label bucket is led by “Gelato Cake”, “Green Gelato - GEL” and “Watermelon Gelato TC”; under the exact Gelato label, flower dominated the lab feed at 75% of 2,570 results, with concentrates (12%), shake and trim (5.9%) and pre-rolls (4.0%) next.¹ Only flower feeds our strain calculations.

Longer labels are a bigger bucket than exact Gelato: 6,286 results contain the word, making up 71% of name-containing results, with “Gelato Cake” (1,331), “Green Gelato - GEL” (213) and “Watermelon Gelato TC” (178) at the top.¹ We leave those out under our name-matching method because extra words, cross markers or CBD versions can mean different material.

Yes, Gelato is broadly listed in the Oct 4, 2026 Weedmaps snapshot: 518 store listings carrying Gelato flower were counted inside 50 miles of market centers, covering 21 of 24 markets and placing 6th among 58 tracked strains.³

Against the typical same-menu strain, exact-eighth medians were: New York, NY $40.00 vs $35.70; Chicago, IL $45.00 vs $40.00; Boston, MA $25.00 vs $30.00; Newark, NJ $43.75 vs $43.50; Seattle, WA $30.00 vs $25.50; Baltimore, MD $35.00 vs $35.00; Denver, CO $20.16 vs $17.50; Las Vegas, NV $35.00 vs $25.00; Phoenix, AZ $17.50 vs $42.50; Portland, ME $25.00 vs $25.00; and St. Louis, MO $27.50 vs $30.50.³ The comparison broke mixed: Gelato was cheaper in three of eleven markets with enough exact-eighth prices.³
