Gic 17
Gelato × Ice Cream Cake × G13 × Gorilla Glue
Gic 17 is a modern craft cultivar known for its dense, resinous buds and appealing bag appeal. As a phenotype-selected hybrid, it often exhibits characteristics of dessert-forward cannabis, making it a popular choice in contemporary markets.
Appearance
Gic 17 typically presents with medium to large calyxes that form dense, spade-shaped flowers. Under cooler temperatures, anthocyanin expression can result in purple and lavender hues, contrasting with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often covered in a heavy layer of trichomes, giving them a greasy, resinous sheen.
The plant structure is generally compact to medium-tall with short to moderate internode spacing. It responds well to training techniques and exhibits strong apical dominance. Leaves are often a deep emerald green, potentially darkening to plum in cooler environments.
Aroma & Flavor
This cultivar is noted for its complex aromatic profile, often described as dessert-forward with hints of cream and sweetness. The aroma may also carry notes of citrus and floral undertones, with a diesel-like pungency.
Flavors can mirror the aroma, offering a palate that includes citrus, cream, diesel, earthy, floral, lavender, nutty, and orange notes. The overall sensory experience is often rich and layered.
Effects
As an indica-leaning hybrid, Gic 17 is generally associated with relaxing effects. Consumers often report a calming sensation that can be conducive to unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data varies, Gic 17 is often associated with a terpene profile that may include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool. These terpenes contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics.
THC levels are typically reported between 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. This cannabinoid profile suggests a potent experience, characteristic of many modern premium cultivars.
Origins & Lineage
Gic 17 is understood to be a phenotype-selected cultivar, indicated by the numerical designation. The 'GIC' prefix likely suggests a cross involving parent strains that start with 'G' (such as Gelato, G13, or Gorilla Glue) and 'IC' (potentially Ice Cream Cake or a similar dessert line). The number '17' signifies the seventeenth selected plant from a breeding project.
Due to its nature as a craft cultivar with limited public documentation, specific breeder attribution and original drop dates remain uncertain. Different growers may cultivate slightly varied expressions of Gic 17 depending on their sourced clones.
