Gelato #45 by Barney’s Farm: Genetics and Background
Gelato #45 by Barney’s Farm is a feminized, indica-dominant hybrid created from Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies genetics. For collectors searching specifically for Gelato #45 Barneys Farm, this is the breeder’s take on one of the most recognisable families in modern American cannabis genetics.
Barney’s Farm lists Gelato #45 as 60% indica and 40% sativa, with THC at around 27%.
The parentage brings together two strains known for rich, sweet profiles. Sunset Sherbet contributes fruity dessert character, while Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies adds mint, earth and the unmistakable Cookies influence.
Gelato #45 Flavour, Aroma and Character
The aroma is where Gelato #45 really earns its name.
Barney’s Farm describes a combination of sweet berries and mint-chocolate ice cream, backed up by earthy pine, citrus and Skunk notes.
That gives the strain quite a layered profile. The sweeter side brings fruit, berries and creamy mint, while pine and earth add more traditional cannabis character underneath.
We particularly like that balance. Gelato #45 is clearly a dessert-style strain, but it isn’t just sweet. Citrus, Skunk and earthy pine give it enough contrast to make the overall profile more interesting.
What Makes the Barney’s Farm Version Different?
There are now plenty of Gelato strains available, which is why the breeder and exact selection matter.
Barney’s Farm developed Gelato #45 from Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies before working through selections to establish the traits it wanted in this particular release.
The #45 is therefore an important part of the name. This isn’t simply another product labelled Gelato; it represents a specific expression selected from the wider Gelato genetic family.
That makes the full product name especially useful for collectors comparing different Gelato releases from different breeders.
Our Take
At SeedMasters.com, we think Gelato #45 is one of the stronger modern dessert strains in the Barney’s Farm collection.
The Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies lineage gives it an instantly recognisable background, while the mix of berry, mint chocolate, citrus, pine and earth gives the strain plenty of its own character.
We also like that it sits between two styles. There is enough sweetness for fans of modern American genetics, but the pine, earth and Skunk notes stop it feeling overly sugary.
For collectors interested in Cookies genetics, Gelato family strains and established Barney’s Farm releases, Gelato #45 is certainly one worth considering.
