How to grow Gelato #45
Seb's take
Sweet pine and skunk from the same Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies pairing, here landing almost dead centre between Indica and Sativa. The high is happy and euphoric before it relaxes, vigorous and generous in the garden regardless of experience. A forgiving strain for beginners, with cash-crop yields for everyone else.
Growing Gelato #45: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 10 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 120 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 650 – 700 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
Breeder figures put THC around 22% — firmly in the strong band. The number speaks for itself; we'll not add adjectives to it.
The nose runs sweet — dessert-adjacent, without apology.
Reported effects lean relaxed — the sitting-down sort.
