Gelato Feminised Seeds

Gelato, also known as Larry Bird, is a potent strain of cannabis with high THC levels of 18-25%. Developed in San Francisco, Gelato is a cross between two of the tastiest strains ever made, Sunset Sherbet and the Thin Mint cut of Girl Scout Cookies. This has created a true 50/50 hybrid which, while having next to no CBD content, is suitable for medical as well as recreational purposes.

Gelato seeds make a great choice for all growers and are suited to both indoor and outdoor applications, though indoor grows are recommended in order to optimise the environmental conditions. The relatively short height of 120-180cm and otherwise compact nature will be welcomed by those short on space, while the high yields of 500-600g/m2 will be ready for harvest after a flowering time of just 8-9 weeks.

During the Vegetative Stage

Gelato grows fast during the veg stage so start training early on if you are growing indoors. Your plants should be able to handle some light LST training after it has produced its 6^th set of leaves. Even though Gelato is a hybrid its structure appears more like an indica dominant strain with a thick foliage of leaves. Using methods such as topping or mainlining will further help with light distribution and airflow. Most growers veg for 5-8 weeks at which point the plant should be strong enough and big enough to pack on some big yields once you flip the lights.

During the Flowering Stage

Once you flip to 12/12 the preflowers on will start to emerge around the end of week 2 or the beginning of week 3. Within a couple more weeks you will start to see the buds forming in a medium, dense structure, exhibiting a blend of green with potential hints of purple. As the flowers develop, your grow room will begin to fill with a sweet, fruity, and earthy aroma, so if its a stealth grow get a decent carbon filter in place first. Towards the sixth week of flowering start to monitor the trichomes and look for the moment that around 70% of them have turned cloudy in appearance with hints of amber, this indicates your Gelato plant is in its window of peak potency and ready for harvesting.
