Gelato Automatic
Also known as: Gelato Auto, Gelato Autoflower
Gelato Automatic Strain Overview
Gelato Automatic is an autoflowering variant of the popular Gelato strain, developed to combine the desirable characteristics of the original with the convenience of automatic flowering genetics. The strain was created by crossing the classic Gelato (itself a hybrid of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies) with autoflowering genetics, likely from a Ruderalis lineage. This breeding process resulted in a plant that automatically transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycles, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those seeking a simpler cultivation experience.
Visually, Gelato Automatic plants typically display the signature appearance of the Gelato family, with dense, resin-coated buds that exhibit deep purple and green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The plants are generally compact and bushy, a characteristic enhanced by the autoflowering genetics, which keeps them at a manageable height ideal for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain maintains the distinctive terpene profile of its photoperiod parent, producing a complex aroma that blends sweet, dessert-like notes with earthy undertones.
As an autoflowering variety, Gelato Automatic represents a significant development in cannabis breeding, offering the prized effects and flavors of a premium strain with reduced cultivation requirements. The automatic flowering trait means plants will complete their life cycle in approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, regardless of light conditions. This makes it particularly valuable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or for those seeking multiple harvests per year in controlled environments.

Gelato Automatic Strain Growing Information
Gelato Automatic is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. The autoflowering genetics make it particularly forgiving, as plants automatically transition to flowering without requiring light cycle changes. Flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically remain compact, reaching heights of 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Expected yields are moderate: 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 50-150 grams per plant outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor cultivation allowing for better environmental control. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent light during the vegetative stage for optimal development. The plants are generally resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation.
