This strain is considered to be resistant to mold, yes. Most likely it's due to it's terpene profile, which includes Pinenes and Caryophyllene, which is specifically known for its mold resisting abilities.
If you feel that there are bud sites that are not getting light, some light defoliation should be fine, as long as your plant is healthy to start with. Removing anything from a plant can be stressful to it, therefore it's important that all other aspects of the plant are ok before potentially stressing it with defoliation. Removing some fan leaves little by little should be fine.
If you would like to use an organic spray, you can use a solution of water and Neem oil. This should only be used during the vegetative stage as it can be damaging to flowers and alter bud flavor. During seedling stage, you can mix 8ml of Neem oil to 1 liter of water. Once in the Vegetative Stage increase to 16ml of Neem oil to 1 liter of water. If you have issues with pests during flowering stage, you can mix 5ml of baking soda per 1 liter of water or 500ml of 70% alcohol with 500ml of water. Alternatively, you can add predatory insects which are not harmful to your plants, such as ladybugs.
To start, the schedule will depend on your medium. If you are in Soil, you can start feeding around 2 weeks into growth. In coco, around day 10. And in hydro, you can start feeding on day one. We suggest starting out with around 1/4 of the recommended dose of your preferred nutrients, and gradually increase the dose as you observe the plant's reaction to the feeding. Some growers prefer to feed for each watering, using less nutrients or feeding every other watering using more nutrients.
As a company we can't really recommend any specific type or brand of lights, however we suggest doing your research in finding the best quality of lights possible for your set up. Quality light is very important in Cannabis cultivation. It's also about preference and what works in your space best. If you have heat issues, maybe LEDs are a good choice, if it's too cold, go for HPS, etc. You should also make sure to find out the 'true wattage' of your lights before making a purchase.
This is one of our most potent strains (up to 26%THC!) , so it's not the most recommended for beginning consumers or anyone sensitive to the effects of THC. It's a balanced hybrid, so it has both Indica and Sativa effects, we recommend harvesting once you have around 80% milky trichomes to 20% amber trichomes, with no clear trichomes in order to avoid any unpleasant, racy head effects.
Generally speaking, the drying process takes about 5-6 days but it might extend longer. Allow the buds to cure for at least 4 weeks, but they become even more flavorful if cured for 6-8 weeks.
Make sure you keep your plant fed and allow the light to reach all of the bud sites, this will help the buds get denser and improve yields.
This is definitely one of our stronger smelling strains. Invest in some carbon filters!
We generally recommend using at least 3 gallon pots (11-12 liters) to allow plants to grow to their full potential. Another tip, be sure to plant your pre germinated seed into its final pot. That is to say, don't transplant your seedling from one pot to another.
This depends on your medium, just like when you feed or water during growth. If you are in soil, flush with water pH'd 5.8-6.8. In coco, 5.5-6.5. And in hydro, around 5.5-5.8.
While topping is not usually recommended for autos, especially for beginning (autoflower) growers, we have seen some great results from experienced growers with this strain. That being said, topping can potentially stunt the growth or stress the plant. So it should be done with caution. LST is definitely recommended for this strain though.
Hello, you can expect (approximately) 50-250g per plant but the yields really depend on your lights, nutrients, conditions and your experience as a grower.
Yes, you should harvest when around 70% of the trichomes are cloudy if you prefer a more cerebral effect or when 70% of the trichomes have turned amber if you want a more corporal effect.
Generally speaking, once the plant has around 3 nodes it should react well to LST.
Hello! You can start defoliating slightly around week 4 and then a bit more around week 6, just make sure you don't overdo it because you can stress your plants.
This is a great choice for beginning growers due to it's ability to survive through some rookie mistakes. Obviously it's important to keep conditions as perfect as possible, but this is a resilient strain that any level of grower can enjoy.
Hello, yes, as long as you don't see any signs of deficiencies it's normal, some plants may take longer to flower depending on the phenotype you got and the growing conditions.
Thanks for asking! This strain stays approximately 4 weeks in the vegetative stage and 5 weeks in the flowering stage.
Our strains have been specially selected to have their characteristics stabilized so there's no need to do anything extra, just grow it properly and your Gelato will have 26% THC.
Absolutely! This strain is a very forgiving strain in terms of making mistakes during the grow. It's low maintenance and requires no special attention. It would be great strain to start out with.
Since this strain is one of our frostiest, it's perfect for extractions of all types.
No, Gelato Auto doesn't need more nutrients than any other strain would need.
Thanks for asking! 8-9 weeks is the whole life cycle, from seed to harvest.
Hello, that usually happens when foliar spraying when the lights remain on for a lot of time because the water droplets act as a magnifying glass. You should foliar spray just a couple of hours before the light fixture turns off to avoid this.
Gelato 33 and 41 were created and selected by other breeders, so we feel that it wouldn’t be appropriate to claim those phenotypes as our own. During the breeding process, we made our own selection from various Gelato clones, and crossed them with our special autoflowering strains, and this is how our Gelato Auto was created.
Hello. Well, it depends on a lot of things, please send us an email and our support team will help you out. Thanks for asking.
Hello, thanks for asking. Yes, it's hard to say exactly how much it will smell because it depends on a lot of things but expect a smell similar to the Gorilla Punch Auto in terms of pungency.
Hello, thanks for asking. Yes, in good conditions your Gelato Auto should take around 4 weeks in veg and 5 in flower.
Hello, thanks for asking. You can lollipop your plants if you have experience with autos but have in mind that it may stress them if you do it too aggressively so, if you're not 100% confident about how to do it, it would be better to perform LST just to be safe.
