About These Strains

Dutch Treat

Hybrid 40/60 — THC 18–25%

Dutch Treat has THC levels reaching 18-25%, so it's strong but not aggressively so.

Gelato

Hybrid 60/40 — THC 18–22%

Gelato is a slightly indica dominant hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) strain created through a cross of the infamous Sunset Sherbet X Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies strains. This dank bud is infamous for its insanely delicious flavor and hugely powerful effects that are fueled by a THC level that hits its low point at 20% on average.
