How to grow Gelato Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Creamy citrus over an earthy base, from a Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies lineage with an unnamed Ruderalis contribution for speed. The high is creative and giggly, uplifting rather than heavy. Extremely potent for an auto, and decorated enough to place among the top extractions at Spannabis 2020.
Where it comes from
Fast Buds built this from a Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies lineage, with an unnamed Ruderalis contribution folded in to set the clock. The record credits her with a bright history and numerous prizes, among them a place in the top three for best extractions at Spannabis 2020. The Cookies heritage lends the depth, the Gelato the creaminess, and the Ruderalis the autoflowering convenience. A decorated auto with a genuine trophy or two behind it.
Nose & flavour
Creamy citrus leads the nose, bright and smooth, over an earthy base that grounds the whole thing. The Gelato and Cookies parentage shows in that creamy, dessert-leaning character, the citrus lifting it and the earth holding it steady. A clean, moreish profile, well suited to a plant with a strong showing in the extraction rankings, where a clear terpene profile earns its keep.
The high
Creative and giggly, uplifting rather than heavy, a bright experience that keeps the mood light and the mind engaged. For an auto listed as extremely potent, the character stays cheerful and productive rather than sedating, the near-even split keeping her lively. A good-humoured, heady high, the sort that lifts the spirits and sparks a little creativity without weighing you down into the armchair.
Growing it
An autoflower finishing in 63 days, staying a manageable 70 to 100cm, so no great headroom required. The yield runs a generous 400 to 550 g/m². At 26% THC with under 1% CBD she is extremely potent for an auto, so plan your cure accordingly. Between the strength, the decent yield and a top-three finish at Spannabis 2020, she is a decorated plant that earns her keep in a small space, and rewards a grower with an eye on extracts as much as flower.
