**Strain Review: Mochi (aka Gelato 47, Mochi Gelato) – from Cloud9**
I recently grabbed some **Mochi**—also known as **Gelato 47** or **Mochi Gelato**—from **Cloud9**, and it turned out to be a solid pick. This hybrid strain is well-known for balancing **creativity** with **pain relief**, and it definitely lived up to the hype in terms of effects.
### Effects:
The effects hit smooth and steady. I felt a noticeable boost in **creativity** early on, followed by a mellow **body relaxation** that helped ease tension and minor aches. It's not too sedating, so you can still stay functional and mentally sharp, which makes it great for evening use or laid-back creative sessions.
### Flavor & Aroma:
The flavor was **earthy and starchy**, not overly sweet like some other Gelato cuts. It’s got this unique doughy, herbal note that makes it stand out. If you're into strains with a natural, grounded taste rather than sugary terps, you'll probably appreciate it.
### Bud Structure & Quality:
The buds from Cloud9 were **dense and slightly soft**, which made them easy to break down by hand. Personally, I **wish they were stickier and had more of that frosty THC crystal look**—the kind of sparkle you see on really top-tier flower. That said, the quality was still solid, and the effects were definitely there.
### Final Thoughts:
Mochi has **good effects**, a **unique flavor**, and a **relaxing but creative high**. While I would've liked a bit more stickiness and visible trichome coverage, it still smoked well and did what it was supposed to do.
**All in all, I’d rate it an 8.5/10**.
Definitely worth checking out—especially if you’re into hybrids that won’t couch-lock you but still bring that chill, pain-easing vibe.
