What Is Jealousy?
Jealousy is a Seed Junky Genetics hybrid that went from connoisseur favorite to mainstream staple, and was named Leafly's Strain of the Year for 2022.
It's also become a breeding workhorse — Permanent Marker is one of the better-known strains with Jealousy in its background.
Jealousy Genetics and Lineage
Jealousy is widely credited to Seed Junky Genetics and listed as Sherbert Bx1 × Gelato 41. Both sides come from the Cookies/Sunset Sherbet family, which explains its creamy dessert base.
Is Jealousy Indica, Sativa or Hybrid?
Sold as a hybrid, and commonly described as fairly balanced. Treat the indica/sativa wording as a loose guide and look at the lab breakdown for a specific batch.
What Does Jealousy Taste and Smell Like?
Jealousy leads with sweet cream and sherbet-like sugar, then turns funky and a little gassy on the back end. It's less fruity than Lemon Cherry Gelato and less extreme than Permanent Marker — the middle ground between the two.
Jealousy Terpenes
Caryophyllene, limonene and linalool are commonly reported, consistent with its Gelato-family roots.
Actual levels depend on cultivator and harvest; the product's lab report is the best reference.
How Strong Is Jealousy?
There is no single THC number for Jealousy. Potency varies materially by cultivator, phenotype, harvest, batch, product format and the lab doing the testing. The reliable figure is the one on the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the exact product you buy — Good Grades product cards show each item's own tested THC where that data is available.
Commonly Reported Jealousy Effects
Consumers often describe a bright, good-mood start that settles into an easygoing body feel, which helps explain its reputation as a versatile hybrid.
