Gelato #33 Auto
Also known as: Gelato 33 Autoflower, Gelato #33 Autoflowering
Gelato #33 Auto Strain Overview
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.

Gelato #33 Auto Strain Growing Information
Gelato #33 Auto is considered a moderate-difficulty strain for cultivation. The autoflowering genetics make it suitable for beginners in terms of light cycle management, but the plant can be sensitive to nutrient levels and environmental stress. Flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks from germination, with total seed-to-harvest time of 10-12 weeks. Expected yields are moderate: 350-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors.
Preferred growing conditions include both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. The plant typically reaches 60-100 cm in height indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (20-26°C / 68-78°F) and moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering). The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) but is sensitive to high-stress techniques like topping due to its autoflowering nature. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular sensitivity to nitrogen excess during flowering. Growers should use well-draining soil and avoid overwatering, as the plant is somewhat susceptible to root issues in soggy conditions.
