Sweet Gelato Auto

welcome to the end of the road for this amazing grow. We will cover some characteristics, grow process and overall thoughts on the strain. -=-=-The Strain-=-=- 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 “Thin Mint”) 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®️ (SWS76) we used our Killer Kush Auto®️ (SWS56) 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. -=-==-The Grow process=-=-=-=- The process went pretty smooth. she germinated on 22nd of Oct and after 1 week she had 3 sets of leaves. by week 5 she was ready for flowering and i placed a net on her to keep her from growing taller. During the first 3 weeks of flowering she did her own thing -- Most of that time she was on automatic watering system and we were off to a vacation. At the end of week 3 I pluck most of the fan leaves that are old and ready to fall. this in return, provides more light coverage and penetration of the foliage. The following weeks of flowering focused on getting the right colors and fattening up the buds. At the end of flowering week 6 i noticed something different, this plant is not a regular plant. she is purple and red, most of the pictures seen so far were greenish. i knew there is a winner here... In the last weeks of flowering she had tap water with 6.5 Ph and nothing else. Overall, I think growing this strain is beneficial in regards of time, quantity and quality ratio. Germination until chopping day = 105 days. -=-=-The Rest-=-=--=- The plant was chopped and only had small clean ups (large fan leaves and some sticks). Then placed on a rack in a dark room with 45%RH and 21C for a period of 9 days. The room smelled sweet and pungent. the flowers were cleaned up and then jarred. I burped the jars every other day for 1 week and cured them for 2 months. The buds are large, purple colored and smell very sweet and earthy
