Gelato al Limone
Also known as: Gelato Limone, Lemon Gelato
Gelato al Limone Strain Overview
Gelato al Limone is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype of the broader Gelato family, distinguished by its pronounced citrus characteristics. This strain was developed by crossing the popular Gelato #33 (also known as Larry Bird) with a lemon-forward parent, though the exact genetic lineage varies between breeders. The result is a balanced hybrid that combines the dessert-like qualities of the original Gelato with bright, zesty lemon notes, creating a unique sensory experience that has gained popularity among connoisseurs and medical users alike.
The strain typically produces medium to large buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its Gelato heritage. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accentuated by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is dominated by sharp lemon and citrus notes, complemented by undertones of sweet cream and earthy diesel, creating a complex olfactory experience that reflects its hybrid nature.
Gelato al Limone has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile, though it remains less common than some of the more established Gelato phenotypes. The strain's popularity has grown particularly in European and North American markets where citrus-forward varieties are appreciated. As with many Gelato derivatives, precise genetic information can vary between different breeders' versions, and some phenotypes may lean slightly more toward indica or sativa dominance depending on cultivation practices and specific genetic expression.

Gelato al Limone Strain Growing Information
Gelato al Limone is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent bud rot due to the dense flower structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
