How to grow Lemon Cherry Gelato Auto R3
THC 25% 
Flowering 70 - 80 days Taste
Seb's take
The autoflowering R3 line of Lemon Cherry Gelato, crossed onto Runtz Auto for an ultra-compact, 70-80 day finish. Tropical fruit, berry and sweetness carry over from her photoperiod parent, and the high settles into relaxed, euphoric calm. A medium yielder that rewards patience with both quality and quantity.
Where it comes from
Ethos Genetics crossed Lemon Cherry Gelato onto Runtz Auto for this R3 line, taking the candy-berry-tropical character of the photoperiod parent and wrapping it into an autoflowering package. It runs an even 50/50, and the Runtz Auto supplies the self-timing habit and the ultra-compact frame. The aim was a rapid-finishing crop that kept the flavour intact, and the parentage delivers the sugary profile and the balanced effect the photoperiod version is known for.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruit leads, sweet and bright, with a berry note rounding it out, carried over intact from the photoperiod parent. It is a rich, sugary profile, the sort the record calls a candy-berry-tropical knockout, and the Runtz side keeps the sweetness front and centre. A dessert-forward nose, indulgent and full, exactly the flavour the line was bred to preserve through the conversion to an auto.
The high
Balanced and even-tempered. The effect settles into relaxed, euphoric calm, evenly weighted in keeping with the 50/50 makeup, neither pinning you down nor lifting you off. It is a rounded, agreeable experience, the sort that suits most hours and most moods. The record makes a point of the balance, and it reads that way: composed relaxation with a euphoric brightness threaded through.
Growing it
An ultra-compact, rapid-finishing auto, which is the whole design brief. Flowering runs 70 to 80 days from the automatic clock, and the result is a medium-yielding variety that, the record says, rewards the grower equally in quality and quantity. THC is quoted at 25 percent, with CBD in a broad 1 to 5 percent range. The record gives no height or firm yield figure, so I will not invent them; take her as a small, self-timing plant with a generous flavour and a patient two-and-a-half-month window.
