Gelato Autoflower

Wow. I've been growing Nivana seeds for about 25 years. Gelato is by far the best I've grown. A huge producer, grown outdoors, producing nearly 2 pounds or closely trimmed flowers. It was one of the easiest I've ever grown to break down for smoking. It was so powdery (tricomes, swollen ovaries) it is hard to keep a rolled joint lit. It's like smoking hash. In a vaporizer it has a nice terpene flavor. This season I have two going outdoors. They are of lesser stature than last year's monster, but started flowering between 4-5 weeks; most autoflowerers I've grown don't start flowering before 6 weeks. It will be another 4-6 weeks to harvest, in my experience (I go by change in trichrome color). One caveat: all hybrid varieties have a lot of variation. Your experience may differ, but I highly recommend Gelato.

Grew one of the outdoors under white screening to keep out critters and insects. Raised bed with about 50 inches head space. One plant, manicured with sugar leaves trimmed to the ovary level. YIELDED NEAR,Y 2 LBS OF MANICURED BUD. So trichome rich it powdery and very easy to break down for smoking. Growing 2 this year. It's early but the won't get as big as the one last yeal. All hybrids have a lot of variation. Maybe I was lucky. Time will tell.

I bought this as a trial for automatic seeds. I am impressed. a very potent version of Gelato and very easy to grow. I grew some under lights and a couple outdoors. Two things about the indoor plants: They were not as good a yield as the outdoor which gave a 1.5 ounce yield versus just under an ounce indoors. Secondly, one of the indoor plant Gelatos produced a spontaneous flower or two which, of course, ended up giving me some fresh seeds and pollinated two other automatics that I was trying out. I don't consider that a problem, but it is the reason for only four stars.
Bottom line, easy to grow, decent yield for a 10 week plant. has real possibilities for indoors and outdoor growing in a limited space or a stealth grow.

Not a grow report but happy that my seeds arrived a week to 10 days before expected. All 5 of them germinated in less than 48 hours.

My plants both had seeds is that something that happens that much
