Gelato #420 Feminized is 60 % indica, 40 % sativa. As the latest refinement of the famous Gelato from California, it improves the yield of the tasty indica-sativa hybrid. It also makes the clone-only Gelato available as a stable seed variety. The popular version of Gelato, Gelato 33, was created by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint. Both multiple hybrids originated from OG Kush (a descendant of Hindu Kush) and the legendary South African sativa known as Durban Poison
The growth of Gelato #420
Gelato #420 Feminized cannabis seeds are 60% indica and 40% sativa. A strong indica stature and significant sativa height gain are hallmarks of this strain. Indoors, it can maintain a relatively short vegetative period, as the plants generally triple their vegetative height during the flowering period. Outdoors, in a warm and sunny climate, the cultivation of Gelato #420 Feminized cannabis seeds can be started a little later than with other strains. This will control their height.
When grown in a natural light cycle, certain cultivation techniques are useful to manage the strain's impressive stature. These include training the plants to grow parallel to the ground, trellising and pruning the plants to encourage bushier growth. As long as the local climate remains reasonably favorable until October, White Label's Gelato #420 can provide an excellent outdoor harvest.
Indoors, cloning is the best way to maximize the yield of Gelato #420 Feminized cannabis seeds. Alternatively, you can prune the main stem of the larger plants to increase the bud sites.
Plants that are grown from seed and flower tend to have strong lateral and upward branching with very small internodal gaps. Of course, clones share this characteristic, although their lateral branches tend to be less vigorous (due to the shorter vegetation period). The yield produced by the branches of Gelato #420 means that lollipopping and SOG are best avoided. ScrOG (screen of green) can produce good results on plants with the correct spacing.
At harvest time, Gelato #420's abundance of nodes results in plants with long, thick colas on the main stems. The branches are also full of tight, oval flowers that tend to stay separate. The density of these flower clusters means that even smaller buds retain a good weight after drying. Flowering time is eight to eleven weeks, with the most efficient time to yield ratio being achieved with phenotypes in the nine to ten week range.
The Afghani genes of OG Kush and Hindu Kush make deep purple hues quite common in the mature buds of Gelato #420. The resin production is outstanding, giving each calyx a beautiful glaze of golden trichomes.
The effect of Gelato #420
Highly potent indica and sativa parents make Gelato #420 by White Label a strain that should never be taken lightly. A powerful, euphoric body stone is lifted by an intense, creative sativa high. Beginners should proceed with caution, and even seasoned connoisseurs should "test the waters before diving in".
Smell and taste of Gelato #420
The growing odor is quite subdued, with the full, complex bouquet of this strain reaching its peak after drying. The most common elements are citrus, mint and vanilla from the Kush hybrid ancestors and aniseed, hashish and sandalwood from the Durban and Hindu Kush strains. All of these high notes are united by a base of soft, creamy chamomile, most commonly associated with Haze strains. The aroma profile of Gelato #420 is reminiscent of all the flavors of an ice cream parlor.
