Take Gelato 33, Gelato 33, also called Larry Bird - Sunset Sherbet over Thin Mint Cookies, and put it over 707 OG Kush, the 707 house OG - SFV OG worked for Humboldt. That is Cue Ball (Gelato 33 x 707 OG Kush). The OG backbone here is theirs and it is the reason the catalogue holds together.

Gelato carries a 33 because selections get numbered to stay distinguishable once they leave the room they were made in. It marks this exact mother, and it is the part of the name worth reading closely.

Order matters in a cross name. In Cue Ball (Gelato 33 x 707 OG Kush) the Gelato 33 side supplied the seed and 707 OG Kush the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Gelato 33. The Gelato cut people call Larry Bird. Its own cross is given as Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Cookies. It came out of the Bay Area through the Cookie Family, the Sherbinskis side and Mario Guzman. The nickname is simply the number: Larry Bird wore 33.
• Father: 707 OG Kush. 707 OG Kush, the backbone of this catalogue. It traces back to described as a developed SFV OG; the wider OG Kush family is generally traced to Chemdog with a Lemon Thai influence and a Hindu or Pakistani Kush. 707 is the area code covering Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity. The line was stabilised for Northern California conditions specifically, which is why resin and outdoor finishing matter more in its selection than yield figures do.
• How to read it. Everything below splits into what one parent gives and what the other does. Plants that take from both are the ones to keep.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Sweet berry over earth with a diesel edge from the Gelato 33 side, against the West Coast OG signature - fuel and lemon from the 707 OG Kush side.
• The Taste. Berry and cream with the diesel behind it up front, turning to lemon over OG fuel, with earth behind it through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Where the nose comes from. One side gives sweet berry over earth with a diesel edge; the other gives the West Coast OG signature - fuel and lemon. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Structure varies hard here. Balanced, around fifty-five forty-five indica; purple comes into the calyxes mid-flower and the buds finish dense and crusted with resin from one parent; balanced indica-sativa, and selected for rugged outdoor production rather than for a tent from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. Gelato 33 is reported as strong - it runs up to about twenty-five percent; 707 OG Kush as OG potency, in the Humboldt style rather than the dispensary one. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Gelato 33 is balanced, around fifty-five forty-five indica; purple comes into the calyxes mid-flower and the buds finish dense and crusted with resin. 707 OG Kush is balanced indica-sativa, and selected for rugged outdoor production rather than for a tent.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Gelato 33 as strong - it runs up to about twenty-five percent.
• The Body. 707 OG Kush is reported as OG potency, in the Humboldt style rather than the dispensary one, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
