First time growing a Gelato genetic and have been hearing some good stuff about them
Some info on the genetics:
5th Generation autoflowering strain. Autoflowering version of one of the most powerful and famous American lines, coming from the San Francisco Bay (California): Gelato (Sunset Sherbet x Girl Scout Cookies) is one of the most appreciated exponents of the Cookies family, featuring excellent aroma and high production of THC.
In order to introduce the autoflowering genes in Sweet Gelato Auto®️ we used our Killer Kush Auto®️ which was itself developed with OG Kush genetics.
The result is an autoflowering genetic featuring sweet and fruity aroma with a strong Kush presence, including earthy and woody tones leaning to dried fruit (hazelnuts) and soft touches of mint and citrus.
This plant develops dense buds with high production of big-sized trichomes.

Week 12 (19/09 - 25/09)
20/09
Hoping to start the flush process during this week, let's hope we get some more of those amber trichomes 👌
23/09
Been flushing her since the 21st, will continue until end of this week and if trichomes are amber it will be time to chop her down
26/09
Past the week but will be chopping her down today, picture are just before cutting her
Like the buds on this one, tight and very sticky just how we like them. Buds got this strong smell to them, good to smoke at any time of the day just got to be careful since it's strong stuff. Personally like to smoke them buds using the bong, kind of weed that makes you look at the bowl twice before taking it.
Will be growing her again in a bigger pot, a must grow.
She was very easy to grow, structure of the plant is small and bushy which makes it real good for tent grows. Recommend this strain to anyone growing, buds are dank and real strong
