What is the Jealousy strain?
Jealousy is a modern dessert-style hybrid made by crossing Sherbert Bx1 with Gelato 41, and it was Leafly’s Strain of the Year for 2022. It belongs to the Gelato and Sherbet family that also gave us Ice Cream Cake and Runtz, and it is known for high THC numbers and a creamy, peppery nose. The main sources agree on the cross but not on the details:
| Source | Genetics | Type | Listed THC | Top terpenes | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leafly | Sherbert Bx1 × Gelato 41 (Seed Junky Genetics) | Hybrid | 25%, 1% CBG | Caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene | 4.6 from 400 ratings |
| AllBud | Gelato 41 × Sherbet | 50% indica, 50% sativa | 28% to 30% | Not listed | 4.7 from 30 reviews |
| Barney’s Farm (seed version) | Sherbert Bx1 × Gelato 41 | 50/50, also called indica-dominant | 28% | Earth, citrus, pine notes | – |
| Bud Cargo ounce | Sold as Jealousy | Hybrid | No lab result published | Sweet, creamy, gassy nose | $75 for 28 g |
Barney’s Farm sells Jealousy seeds without naming Seed Junky, so seed-grown Jealousy and the original clone-only cut may not be the same plant. Leafly lists Permanent Marker and Purple Octane among its offspring.
Is Jealousy indica or sativa?
Jealousy is a balanced hybrid, listed as 50% indica and 50% sativa by AllBud and simply as a hybrid by Leafly. Barney’s Farm also gives a 50/50 split on its seed page, although its description calls the strain indica-dominant, which shows how loosely these labels are used.
A genetic study of 30 dispensary strains found that samples did not group by indica, sativa or hybrid, and that samples sold under the same name were sometimes genetically different (Schwabe and McGlaughlin, Journal of Cannabis Research, 2019). Our indica vs sativa vs hybrid guide explains what the labels can and cannot tell you.
Is Jealousy a strong strain?
Yes, Jealousy is one of the higher-THC hybrids in the strain databases. Leafly lists 25% THC and 1% CBG and notes that it can test into the high 20s, AllBud gives 28% to 30%, and Barney’s Farm lists 28% for its seed version.
A THC number describes one tested batch, not the strain as a whole, and Bud Cargo does not publish a lab result for its current Jealousy lot. If it is new to you, start with a small amount and wait before taking more; Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines also recommend favouring lower-THC products and using less often.
What terpenes are in Jealousy strain?
Caryophyllene is the dominant terpene in Jealousy on Leafly, followed by limonene and myrcene, with linalool and humulene sometimes present. That mix explains the flavour: caryophyllene is peppery, limonene adds citrus and myrcene gives an earthy, musky base.
Leafly’s most reported flavours are pepper, plum and apricot. AllBud lists berry, candy, cherry, creamy, fruity and sweet flavours with a berry, cherry, citrus, earthy, sour and vanilla aroma. Barney’s Farm describes citrus, fruity vanilla, pepper and apricot over earth and pine. Caryophyllene is also the lead terpene in both parents, which is why the whole Gelato family shares that peppery-sweet edge.
How does Jealousy strain make you feel?
Jealousy is usually described as a social, upbeat hybrid rather than a heavy one. Leafly’s most reported feelings are giggly, relaxed and talkative, and AllBud lists creative, euphoric, happy, motivated, relaxing and uplifting. Because it sits in the middle of the indica-sativa range, people use it at many times of day.
The negatives most often reported on Leafly are anxiety, headache and dry mouth. Anxiety is a common report for high-THC strains, which is another reason to start low with a strain that tests in the mid to high 20s.
What are the parents of Jealousy?
Jealousy’s parents are Sherbert Bx1 and Gelato 41, and both trace back to Sunset Sherbet. Sherbert Bx1 is a backcross, meaning Sunset Sherbet was crossed back to itself to lock in its traits, and Gelato 41 is one of the numbered Gelato phenotypes from Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Here is the family, with what we have in stock today: Exotic Genetix’s Vice City comes from the same Sherbert line: its mother, Sunset Runtz, is Sherbert × Runtz.

Our Gelato strain guide explains how Gelato 33, 41 and 42 differ.
Why was Jealousy Leafly’s Strain of the Year?
Leafly selected Jealousy as its Strain of the Year for 2022, and it remains one of the best-rated modern hybrids on the site, at 4.6 from 400 ratings. Its draw is the combination of very high THC numbers with a flavour that stays sweet and creamy instead of turning harsh, which made it a popular parent for newer crosses such as Permanent Marker.
Popularity also brings look-alikes. Strains sold as “Jealousy” can come from the original clone, from seed versions such as Barney’s Farm’s, or from crosses with Jealousy in the name, which is why the genetics table above lists sources side by side.
