Famous for its complex and unmistakable palette, powerful and long lasting, yet peaceful high, Gelato has taken the market by storm since its original realese. It’s now available in its autoflowering version.
Thanks to its Auto NL and Auto Critical parents, plants grow strong and very vigorous, developing a pyramid-shaped structure and several side branches. All in all plants of this strain will reach an height between 70 and 110 cm and will be ready for harvest in 10 to 12 weeks from seed. Auto Gelato produces very dense, resinous and smelly buds, of a vibrant green. Some late blooming phenotypes might develop purple hues, giving flowers a remarkable and pleasant color contrast and bag appeal.
The aroma and smell of our Auto Gelato are those that will blow your mind. Strong earthy notes on the inhale will morph into a long lasting and tantalizing mix of mint, caramel and citrus. A real gem for the autoflowering connoisseurs.
