Gelato-K is a sativa dominant hybrid consisting of (Bubba Kush x Gelato), with a flowering time of 58-63 days. Her breeder description is as follows:
Gelato and Bubba Kush met one day. It could have been the typical story of "boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they fall in love, have a child, The End ...". But the offspring born of this genetic cross, is our spectacular GELATO-K, which is destined to greater glories, surpassing the expectations of the most selective grower.
We are talking about a sativa hybrid that has inherited the best characteristics of its parents and, in many aspects, surpasses them, giving rise to a plant with an intense sweet citrus flavour, like a deliciously refreshing lemon sorbet. The effect is incredibly powerful, triggering high levels of euphoria, elation and happiness.
Flowering takes 8 to 10 weeks. There is no need to worry about knowing when it’s ready, the plant will declare it proudly, displaying its dense buds full of resin in all their beauty, a real visual spectacle which often takes on violet tones.
While this plant will grow wonderfully outdoors, it is indoors where you can make the most of its potential, thanks to its spiky shape during growth. In addition, Gelato-K is possibly our most resistant variety to pests and diseases.

2/20 - I started soaking a seed in a plastic shot glass. Once it sank, I moved it to a moistened rooter cube for germination.
2/24 - I popped 2 seeds with 1 as backup in case another failed to germinate, and they both sprouted today.
2/25 - Day 1, one of my other strains failed to germinate, so we will be moving forward with both of these seedlings.
2/26 - Day 2, moved them into starter containers to get some roots developed. Watered them in with a 2ml/gal Clonex solution with pH adjusted to 6.17.
