Gelato Auto: The American Classic Reimagined in Autoflower Form
Gelato Auto by Original Sensible Seeds captures the creamy sweetness and powerhouse genetics of the iconic US favourite, Sunset Sherbet × Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint), and turns it into a faster, frostier autoflowering masterpiece. This is pure California indulgence in a compact form, bred for those who demand both quality and speed.
From seed to harvest in just 70–75 days, Gelato Auto produces dense, resinous buds shimmering with purple and orange hues. Indoors, it maintains a steady 80–100 cm height, while outdoors, it stretches gracefully to around 120 cm. Yields are impressive, with up to 150 g per plant or 500 g/m² indoors. This strain doesn’t just look the part, it performs it, bringing elite photoperiod-level flavour and potency into autoflower convenience.
Flavour & Aroma
Expect a mouthwatering mix of sweet citrus, berry sherbet, and subtle cookie cream. The dominant terpenes, caryophyllene, humulene, and limonene, weave a complex profile that blends sugary dessert tones with earthy undertones and a fresh orange zest finish. It’s smooth, rich, and deeply aromatic, the kind of flavour that lingers long after the session ends.
Effects
Gelato Auto delivers the balanced high that made its lineage legendary. The 20% THC content creates a calm, clear-headed euphoria that relaxes the body while keeping the mind uplifted. It’s a strain that melts tension without locking you to the couch, ideal for daytime creativity, relaxed evenings, or those who simply want to unwind without switching off completely. Expect a bright mental buzz that gently fades into a soothing, happy calm.
Grow Information
This strain is a grower’s delight: robust, responsive, and forgiving. Indoors, it flourishes under 18–20 hours of light and fills out quickly with tight internodes and heavy resin production. Outdoors, it thrives in warm to temperate climates, finishing by early October. Its vivid hues deepen as it matures, especially when exposed to cooler night temperatures, producing those signature purple streaks that Gelato fans crave.
Why Grow Gelato Auto
Because it’s the perfect blend of speed, sophistication, and satisfaction. Gelato Auto gives growers that classic West Coast flavour and frosty appeal, without the long photoperiod wait. It’s proof that autos can deliver the same rich terpene complexity and luxurious smoke as the originals they descend from.
