I have done a separate topic just on the Strawberry cough so this will focus just on the Gelato...
I said this in my Strawberry Cough write up but ULC deserve great feedback for incredible service:
Firstly I just wanted to compliment Urban Leaf Co on what has to be the best customer service I’ve experienced to date, not just on here but I think as far as retail in general goes. I placed an order for a mixed batch of Strawberry Cough and Blue Gelato 41 and received a parcel the very next day as is always the case with ULC. There was a bit of a glitch with the order so I messaged them straight away and expected a bit of a delay before I heard back but instead received a reply within minutes. The Guys/gals at ULC could not be more apologetic nor any more helpful. They were an absolute dream to deal with and the issue was resolved within 24 hours. That is what I call service! There are some incredible vendors on LB but despite the error here, ULC completely turned it around and sorted with such precision they deserve a medal! Mistakes happen, we all do it but its how the mistake is dealt with that we are all measured and ULC owned it.
Blue Gelato 41:
I ordered both Gelato and Strawb Cough strains as I think they are a true test of a growers appreciation of quality and effort shown in the grow. I’ve tried so many Gelatos from so many different sources, not just online and despite the very popular online reviews and write ups of the Gelato strains I have almost always been left disappointed… Until now!
I have been told that Gelato requires a perfect environment to be grown otherwise it simply wont meet standards whereas some other non gelato strains often still power on through even if something isn’t quite perfect. If this is the case then ULC either grew this in the Caribbean or they are close friends with the ganja gods! This is a really, really nice example of what Blue Gelato is meant to be.
My all time favourite Weed has to be Blueberry when it is grown perfectly, you cant beat the smell or taste and upon opening my Gelato 41 order the Blueberry smell was very apparent! I’d happily use the smell as an air freshener! : D.
Appearance was a little bit leafy and perhaps a little bit stemmy but the only thing that effected were the aesthetics it had absolutely no effect on the overall quality of the bud, weight of the deal or the smoke itself. The buds were really fluffy especially when put through the grinder where they ground down perfectly with an almost velvet texture.
Taste – Gorgeous! No mistaking the blueberry lineage.
Smell – As described above. Just pure bliss!
Smoke – Again, absolutely gorgeous! Being that she’s indica dominant this would ordinarily suggest a great sleep aid but I was very pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Blue Gelato 41 covered all bases. The indica is definitely there for sleep assistance and a full body and head stone but there is such a close Sativa heritage chasing up the indica that you don’t lose motivation and are still quite capable of getting on with the more laid back missions you may have set yourself for the day. That said I would still definitely mark this as an evening smoke just because the body hit and unmistakable relaxation that you’re gifted with after smoking it are too good to waste with daily chores.
I hope there is some more of this in time for Christmas it would make the perfect kick back smoke for a week or so of movies and over-indulging in food!
Another great strain from ULC! Thank you very much!
