Gelato is one of the ground-breaking new strains that have come out of the USA in the last few years and we are super excited to now offer it in its auto-flowering form.
Auto Gelato is just on the side of an indica dominant hybrid (55% indica/45% sativa) and was borne out of a cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Gelato has become renowned for its delicious flavour and incredibly powerful effect backed up with THC levels well in excess of 20%. Auto Gelato has a flavour reminiscent of sweet sherbet, with fruity orange and blueberry notes. The aroma coming from the plants is just as sweet, with a heady bouquet of lavender, citrus and berry. Although Auto Gelato has a slight indica dominance, the high is uplifting and all in the head, meaning it won’t leave you couch-locked. The high begins with a cerebral head rush following by an uplifting euphoric effect and a sense of focus.
Like all auto-flowering strains auto gelato will begin its flowering phase after around 3 weeks regardless of the number of hours of light it is receiving and be finished in roughly 10 weeks.
Although incredibly powerful, the effect is well balanced and not overwhelming making Auto Gelato the perfect choice for patients suffering from a variety of conditions including muscle spasms, chronic pain, inflammation, chronic fatigue, and headaches or migraines. The harvested buds from Auto Gelato are super sticky, large and lumpy, dark green in colour and contain striking purple and orange hairs.

Strain FAQ
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
Why are hybrid cannabis strains created?
Hybrid strains are often created to improve flavour, THC/CBD ratios, or relaxation or energy effects. Hybrid cannabis allows for a variety of strains to suit different tastes and needs.
What terpenes are responsible for earthiness?
Along with myrcene, humulene adds a woody tone to the earthy scent, and it's intriguing that hops contain it. Beta-caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent adds earthiness and reportedly interacts with the endocannabinoid system.
Gelato challenges?
Bringing forth the purple hues and vivid pistils of Gelato is said to require a great effort. These beautiful flowers reportedly require milder temperatures, therefore those who can handle them will be rewarded.
Do indica strains have more CBD?
Indica cultivars are often thought to be CBD-rich, however their cannabinoid makeup varies. Due to their terpene and cannabinoid compositions, they are said to provide a calming, tranquil body buzz.
