Gelato cannabis seeds

What are Gelato cannabis seeds?

Gelato cannabis seeds offer a blend of sativa and indica genetics. Sometimes known as Gelato #42 or Larry Bird, the genetics produce an exquisitely enjoyable euphoric high and high-grade relaxation. If you’re looking for a sweet, soft-smoking strain with creamy/fruity flavours and reassuringly potent buds then there are few better options. Despite their relatively recent arrival, Gelato cannabis strains have already earned a legendary reputation among many growers.

Most repeat Gelato cannabis seed growers would probably say it’s the sweet, doughy/creamy flavours which make the strain so irresistible. The Gelato genetics were created by a team of cannabis users that wanted potency levels high enough to satisfy the veteran toker.

With THC levels around and often above 20%, even those with a cannabis tolerance will feel the joyful effects of these terpene-packed buds. If you haven’t yet sampled a well-grown Gelato strain, you are missing out on one of the most delicious - and satisfying - genetic lines ever to be released.

What are the different types of Gelato weed seeds?

With numerous cannabis cup wins since Gelato cannabis seeds hit the market, breeding activity has been busy. Not all the Gelato strains quite live up to the early hype, but the best ones are truly historic with a candy-like sweetness and a creamy vaping/smoking texture which you won’t easily forget. It’s worth noting that anyone that can really dial-in their grow room conditions for a Gelato grow will be rewarded with buds of the very finest quality. Few strains can boast such extravagant fragrance and nose appeal as a well-cultivated Gelato.

Feminised Gelato cannabis seeds

Growers wishing to dictate the length of veg growth (e.g. if they plan to grow with the SCROG method or the SOG method) will have maximum grow-flexibility if they grow photoperiod feminised Gelato cannabis seeds. Bloom will only begin when the light-period is reduced to 12 hours per day.

Autoflower Gelato cannabis seeds

If you’re looking for the easiest grow experience, then autoflowering Gelato cannabis seeds are the preferred choice. They will grow indoors from autoflower seed to harvest in around 75 days, 20 hours of daily indoor light is recommended. Gelato auto seeds are also a popular choice with outdoor and greenhouse growers. Just give them a 3-month period of sunny, warm weather and they will grow well.

Regular Gelato cannabis seeds

Plenty of professional (and amateur!) breeders have enjoyed Gelato strains so much that they have tried making their own crosses. If you’re an old-school grower or enjoy making your own crosses, then some regular Gelato cannabis seeds are a great place to start.

Best original Gelato cannabis strains

With so many Gelato cannabis seeds available it pays the grower to do a little online research before they buy. A few cannabis cups (Dutch Passion have 90+) are a sure-sign that your seedbank takes their profession seriously and doesn’t mind being benchmarked against the best geneticists in the business. The following three Dutch Passion strains contain original Gelato genetics and happen to be some of the most potent strains in the entire cannabis seed collection.

Mokum’s Tulip

One of Dutch Passion’s all-time great strains, Mokum’s Tulip is a cross of Gelato x Sherbet. She exhibits exceptional dankness; a rare flavour explosion comes from these buds as soon as you vape/smoke them. The taste is just the same as the rich aroma when you open the jar.

She reeks in a great way, with a sweet scent and rich gelato notes with a breath of tulip. Divine is the word, and with THC levels around (and even above) 25% she offers mental anaesthesia of the finest quality. She’s a hybrid strain taking around 8 weeks in bloom and has already established herself as a multiple cannabis cup winner and repeat best-seller.

Mokum’s Tulip suits the grower aiming to take potency and taste to the limit. Her 25% THC levels qualify her for inclusion into the revered Dutch Passion high THC cannabis seed collection. This is home only to the very strongest strains in the entire catalogue.

Auto Mokum’s Tulip

With the same great genetics as original Mokum’s Tulip who wouldn’t be interested in this easy-to-grow auto. These fine-quality auto seeds should produce buds with very high THC levels and a great anti-anxiety effect.

Auto Mokum’s Tulip takes around 12 weeks from autoflower seed to harvest. That’s a little longer than usual but the extra time taken ripening these high-grade buds is well worth it. The buds are dense, with a white coating and a sweet, creamy candy taste. She’s part of the USA cannabis seed collection.

Auto Oh My Gusher

The notoriously powerful Gusher genetics come from Triangle Kush x Gelato. This indica autoflower strain literally gushes resin during bloom. She is a heavyweight USA auto powerhouse that always knows how to produce grade A+ quality cannabis.

The plants are compact-to-medium sized plants with strong stems and very dense buds. The frosty nugs have a good calyx-to-leaf ratio, making her fast and easy to trim. The resin-sodden flowers put a lot of weight on the scales.

Auto Oh My Gusher is an undemanding very high THC auto and fast flowering with an average autoflower seed to harvest time of around 10 weeks.

Growing Gelato cannabis from seed to harvest

Gelato strains are able to reward those that can really optimise their grow room conditions. The deliciously inviting sweet aromas may be rare in other strains but a good Gelato delivers mouthwatering flavour in abundance. Here’s some of our top tips to get the best from your Gelato cannabis seeds.

Growing Gelato weed seeds indoors

Quality LED lights and supplemental UVA/UVB lights are highly recommended to all those aiming for the best taste and highest cannabinoid levels. BioTabs are slow-release organic nutrients that give great results for growers of all experience levels.

Many that have struggled with over/under feeding of their plants will appreciate the convenience and inherently wide grow latitude which comes from slow-release organic nutrients. These allow growers to add just water from all/much of the grow. Large, aerated grow containers, such as air-pots or felt sacks are recommended to ensure better oxygen levels in the root zone.

Growing Gelato weed seeds outdoors

If your grow season is prone to poor late-season weather, growing Gelato feminised seeds may carry the risk of your plants not ripening fully. If so, autoflowering Gelato cannabis seeds suggested above could be a better option. Remember to prepare the soil well, replace if needed with supermarket soil and improve as required with soil improvers/amendments if required.
