Polar Gelato by Sherbinskis Feminized – Silent Seeds | Exotic Gelato Genetics with 30% THC & Biscuit-Ice Cream Flavor

Polar Gelato by Sherbinskis is a premium feminized cannabis strain from Silent Seeds that delivers legendary Californian genetics in seed form, offering sky-high THC levels up to 30%, a rich biscuit-and-ice-cream flavor profile, and massive yields of dense, trichome-covered buds.

Is your grow lacking that authentic Cali bag appeal?

Most commercial strains promise premium quality but fall short when it comes to true connoisseur-level aroma, potency, and visual impact. You end up with average buds that don’t impress, lack complexity, and fail to deliver the full sensory experience you’ve heard so much about.

Why settle for imitation when you can grow the real thing?

Without access to authentic West Coast genetics, you're stuck with knockoffs that copy the name but miss the soul. These imitations often have weaker effects, bland flavors, and lower resin production—robbing you of the full ritual: the smell when you open the jar, the smooth hit, the lasting euphoria.

Polar Gelato brings the true essence of California to your grow space

Bred in collaboration with Mario Guzman (aka Sherbinskis), the mastermind behind Gelato and Sunset Sherbert, this feminized hybrid captures the exact genetic lineage that defined modern cannabis culture. With up to 600 g/m² indoors and 1.6 kg/plant outdoors, Polar Gelato doesn’t just look the part—it performs like a champion. The flavor is a luxurious blend of creamy vanilla, sweet cookie, and floral depth, while the effect is a long-lasting, harmonious high that balances cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. For growers who want authenticity, potency, and show-stopping bag appeal, this is the real deal.

What it’s like to grow Polar Gelato by Sherbinskis

This hybrid develops a tall, open structure with wide internodal spacing and large, broad leaves—classic hallmarks of elite American genetics. It grows vigorously, showing strong resilience and a high tolerance for training. Expect a flowering time of 58–63 days indoors, with harvest ready by late September to early October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. To maximize yield, apply techniques like LST, topping, and defoliation during veg. Support the branches with trellis netting or stakes, as the dense, resinous colas can become heavy. Limit the vegetative phase to around 3 weeks for a compact, manageable plant with a flat canopy—perfect for maximizing light exposure.

Flavor and effects that define modern cannabis

Polar Gelato hits the palate with a gourmet dessert profile: creamy vanilla ice cream layered over buttery biscuit, accented by delicate floral and earthy undertones. The aroma is equally captivating—sweet, rich, and complex. With THC levels reaching 30% and CBD under 0.2%, the effect is intensely euphoric and long-lasting. You’ll feel a wave of mental clarity and happiness, followed by a soothing body buzz that’s functional enough for daytime use but deep enough to unwind with. It’s not just a strain—it’s a full sensory journey.

Quick overview: Photoperiod feminized · Silent Seeds · 8–9 week flowering · Moderate difficulty · Ideal for indoor and outdoor setups.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C. Transplant once the taproot reaches 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in). For faster rooting, ROOTBASTIC ATAMI strengthens early development.

Directed growth: Use 18/6 light cycle. Keep substrate well-aerated—Light Mix BioBizz 50L provides ideal structure. Apply gentle LST early to shape the canopy.

Transition to flowering: Switch to 12/12 light. Monitor stretch—can reach up to 1.10 m (3.61 ft) indoors. Begin light support with trellis netting.

Flowering by stages: Maintain RH at 40–50%. Boost bud density with Bloombastic during peak flowering. Avoid overfeeding—moderate nutrient demand.

Harvest, drying and curing: Harvest when trichomes turn milky to amber. Flush 7–10 days pre-harvest. Dry at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH for 10–14 days, then cure for 3–4 weeks.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Polar Gelato in my 1.2 x 1.2 m tent under a 600W LED, using 18 L pots and living soil. I kept veg to 3 weeks, applied LST early, and used trellis netting from week 3 of flowering. The stretch was significant—plants hit 110 cm—but the structure held strong. The smell during late bloom was unreal: sweet vanilla cookie with a sharp floral kick. I flushed for 10 days and harvested at 70% amber trichomes for a smoother effect. Dried slowly and cured for 4 weeks. The yield was 580 g from three plants—dense, frosty, and sticky as hell. The high is powerful but clear, perfect for chilling with friends or unwinding solo. If you want a modern classic that delivers on every level, this is it.
