Gelato 33 — Harvest Report
This week marks the end of a very successful run with Gelato 33.
After monitoring the trichomes closely, the plant was taken down at the perfect moment: cloudy trichomes with a touch of amber, signalling peak cannabinoid and terpene expression.

🔬 Trichome & Maturity Check
• ~80–85% cloudy
• ~10–15% amber
• Very few clear trichomes
Ideal for a strong, balanced hybrid effect without losing freshness.

🌿 Bud Characteristics
Gelato 33 showed all the classic traits:
• Dense medium-size buds

• Beautiful purple/green tones depending on the cola
• Extremely sticky during trimming
Aroma exploded during harvest:
Sweet, creamy dessert notes + earthy gas.

✂️ Harvest Processing
• Light wet-trim (fan leaves only)
• Whole plant hung upside down for a slow dry
• Branch spacing maintained for airflow
This ensures maximum terpene preservation.
⸻
🌬️ Drying Conditions
• Temperature: 18–19°C
• Humidity: 52–55%
• Airflow: indirect, very gentle
• Total planned drying time: 10–14 days
