OG-elato
Also known as: OG Elato, OGelato
OG-elato Strain Overview
OG-elato is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two prominent West Coast strains: OG Kush and Gelato. This strain emerged in the California cannabis scene during the mid-2010s as breeders sought to create a cultivar that would blend the classic OG Kush structure and effects with the dessert-like flavors and resin production of Gelato. The strain gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile.
OG-elato plants typically display characteristics of both parent strains, with dense, resinous buds that often exhibit a range of colors from deep green to purple, depending on growing conditions. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The leaves may show hints of purple or blue, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The strain's aroma is complex, combining earthy, piney notes from its OG Kush lineage with sweet, creamy undertones inherited from Gelato.
Notable features of OG-elato include its relatively high THC content and its balanced hybrid effects that many users describe as both physically relaxing and mentally uplifting. The strain has become particularly popular among consumers who appreciate classic OG Kush genetics but desire more pronounced flavor profiles and visual appeal. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, OG-elato has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly on the West Coast of the United States.

OG-elato Strain Growing Information
OG-elato is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest usually occurs in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 3-4 feet, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 5-6 feet under optimal conditions. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud 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 manage plant height. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
