Gelato #33 Auto

Gelato #33 Auto is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.

Gelato #33 Auto is an autoflowering variant of the popular Gelato #33 strain, developed by crossing the original Gelato #33 with autoflowering genetics. The original Gelato #33, also known as 'Larry Bird' due to its jersey number association, was created by the Cookie Fam Genetics breeding collective in the San Francisco Bay Area. This particular phenotype (#33) emerged as one of the most sought-after expressions of the Gelato family, known for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.

The autoflowering version maintains the distinctive characteristics of its photoperiod parent while incorporating the automatic flowering trait from ruderalis genetics. This adaptation allows the plant to transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests per year. The strain typically exhibits dense, resinous buds with vibrant purple and green coloration, often accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes.

Notable features include its relatively compact stature compared to photoperiod Gelato varieties, typically reaching heights of 60-100 cm when grown indoors. The autoflowering trait significantly reduces the total growth cycle to approximately 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest, compared to 14-16 weeks for the photoperiod version. While maintaining the signature Gelato aroma and effects, this autoflowering variant offers greater cultivation flexibility and faster turnaround times, though some connoisseurs note subtle differences in terpene expression compared to the original photoperiod Gelato #33.
