Question 1

Is the Gelato Auto resistant to mold?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

My Gelato is very bushy. Should I do some defoliation?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

My gelatos got some bugs. What do you recommend to spray them with? i prefer somethin organic

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do you have a feeding schedule for the Gelato?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What lights should I use to grow this strain?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Will Gelato make me feel paranoid?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

My Gelato Auto is on day 52 and I want to get big fat buds, do you have any advice on how to make them bigger?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Does Gelato Auto smell strong?

Accepted Answer

This is definitely one of our stronger smelling strains.  Invest in some carbon filters!

Question 9

How long should I dry and cure it?? Never tried one so potent before!

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Hello. is my first time growing an auto. What pot size do u recommend? I dont have lot of space

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

What pH should my water have when flushing? Thanx

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

How does Gelato Auto take topping?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

How much does one plant produce approximately in a 3 gallon container
GELATO AUTO 
GORILLA GLUE 
GORILLA COOKIES 
AND What is better to grow them in an area of ​​5 mx 5 m LST OR SOG

Accepted Answer

Question 14

I am currently growing Gelato Auto and I'm on day 47.  The pistils are turning orange but the trichomes are still mostly clear. Should I wait to harvest it?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 15

When should I start doing LST on Gelato Auto?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, once the plant has around 3 nodes it should react well to LST.

Question 16

In which part of the growth the leaves are removed?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 17

How resilient is Gelato Auto?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 18

2 auto gelato in week 6 from seed and not flowering but extremely healthy. Is this normal? Every thing I’ve read says quick flowering. Thanks!

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 19

How long do the seeds to start coming throughas shoots please just so I can get timing right between grows

Question 24

It says flowering time is 8-9 weeks but is that total time since seedling or once it actually starts flowering?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking! 8-9 weeks is the whole life cycle, from seed to harvest.

Question 25

I have put neem oil on my plants with the first leaves up, and did not turn my lights of,,, now they have came up yellow, but my second set of leaves have came up and they are looking nice and green

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 26

Is your Gelato Auto from 33 or 41??

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 27

what kind of lighting do you recommend for this strain? Lec 315W or HPS 600w?

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.

Question 28

Is this strain pungent/loud? (I use a carbon filter but still want to avoid offensively loud/gassy/pungent strains) i have grown gorilla punch which was quite pungent

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 29

My gelato auto is it 4 weeks veg and 5 weeks flower?

Accepted Answer

Hello, thanks for asking. Yes, in good conditions your Gelato Auto should take around 4 weeks in veg and 5 in flower.

Question 30

I have two Gelato Autos going now. One is a bush and one a Christmas tree. Are there supposed to be different phenotypes?

Accepted Answer

Hello, thanks for asking. If they were grown in the same conditions and developed different structures it most likely is due to the different phenotypes.
