Watermelon Gelato
Watermelon Gelato
Also known as: Watermelon Gelato #36
Overview
Watermelon Gelato is an indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 60% indica, 40% sativa) that emerged from the deliberate crossbreeding of Watermelon Zkittlez and Gelato 45, primarily developed by LIT Farms and also cultivated by SunMed Growers. This strain has quickly gained recognition within the cannabis community for its unique combination of potent effects and appealing sensory characteristics. The strain represents a masterful fusion of its parent genetics, inheriting the fruity, candy-like characteristics of Watermelon Zkittlez and the creamy, potent properties of Gelato 45, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid that delivers both recreational and medicinal benefits.
Watermelon Gelato buds are visually striking, characterized by their spade-shaped structure with forest green tones complemented by bright undertones and purple hues. The flowers are densely coated in a thick layer of frosty white and amber-tinted crystal trichomes, giving them an almost glittery, sparkling appearance that indicates high potency and cannabinoid content. Bright orange pistils are scattered throughout the buds, creating a beautiful contrast against the green and purple backdrop. The strain produces medium-sized, fluffy buds that are notably resinous and rich in both cannabinoids and terpenes, making it particularly appealing to cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate both visual aesthetics and potency indicators.

Growing Information
Watermelon Gelato is considered relatively easy to grow with strong resistance to common pests and mold, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor plants typically reaching heights of 60-80 cm, making them ideal for smaller grow spaces. The flowering period averages 8-9 weeks (approximately 70 days), with outdoor harvest typically ready by October. Indoor yields are impressive at approximately 550 grams per square meter (1-2 ounces per square foot), while outdoor cultivation can produce around 400-500 grams per plant (2-3 ounces per square foot). The strain requires proper pruning and training techniques to achieve dense, resinous colas, and benefits from controlled temperature and humidity conditions, particularly in indoor environments. Plants prefer warm, dry climates and respond well to LST (Low Stress Training) methods.
