Auto Gelato

This feminized autoflowering sativa-dominant strain, with its high THC content of 18-23%, has inherited the finest qualities from the world's most famous cannabis strains, making it one of the most sought-after varieties on the market. Its high yields and intense effects won't leave even the most demanding and refined connoisseur unimpressed.

Characteristics

The family tree of Auto Gelato is decorated with dessert-inspired names, including such industry favorites as Thin Mint GSC and Sundown Sherbert. Therefore, it's no surprise that Auto Gelato tastes like it came straight out of a pastry shop! The ability to enjoy this treat in just 8 weeks from seed to harvest is inherited from the Killer Kush Auto strain native to Southern California. Despite its dominant sativa genetics, the plant has a pronounced indica structure, with plenty of sturdy lateral branches covered in dark-emerald leaves. Bright-green buds with splashes of purple and amber stigmas fuse into dense, mouth-watering colas that are so densely covered in trichomes they look more like sugary fruits than cannabis flowers. Fans of extracts and hash will definitely appreciate its high resin production.

Flavor and Aroma

Sweetness and smoothness are the two main words that come to mind when experiencing the sensory palette of Auto Gelato. A rich background aroma of earth and freshly baked pastry dominates, revealing bright floral, fruity, berry, and citrus notes, finishing with barely perceptible creamy and buttery undertones on exhalation. A pleasure for true gourmets!

Recreational and Medicinal Use

With a balanced cannabinoid composition and a rich terpene profile, this strain has an intense stimulating effect followed by a gentle physical relaxation. It is a perfect choice for those who want to stay productive throughout the day or have fun in good company at night. The rapid onset of sativa penetrates every brain cell, enhancing creativity and focus, followed by a deep indica slowdown that still maintains mental clarity. A wave of happiness and bliss will fill your mind and body, leaving no place for depression or pain. This strain is highly effective in combating anxiety, stress, chronic pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms.

Cultivation

Auto Gelato is undemanding and easy to cultivate, making it a great choice for novice growers. Provide the plant with an optimal environment using full-spectrum LED lights operating on an 18/6 or 20/4 regime, proper ventilation, air circulation, and regular watering with timely and balanced feeding.

The strain thrives both indoors and outdoors, producing compact plants 60-100 cm tall, perfect for stealth or guerilla growing and the Sea of Green (SoG) technique. Avoid high-stress training for autoflowers in general and this one in particular, opting instead for moderate defoliation and topping in the early vegetative stage. The plant has a strong odor during flowering, so it's recommended to have a proper ventilation system coupled with a carbon filter. Monitor the pH and ppm levels of the nutrient solution, and inspect the plant regularly for signs of mold or pests. For best results and the full spectrum of terpenes, cure the buds in airtight glass jars for a period of 2 weeks to 6 months.
