Auto Gelato 33 by Advanced Seeds
Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies
Auto Gelato 33 is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Advanced Seeds, offering a quicker, more compact version of the popular Gelato #33. It combines ruderalis genetics with the desirable traits of its photoperiod parent, resulting in a strain that finishes rapidly while retaining complex flavors and aromas.
Appearance
This cultivar typically grows to a height of 70 to 120 cm indoors, featuring a dominant central cola and several productive side branches. Its structure shows indica influence with relatively tight internodes, benefiting from early training to improve airflow. The buds are dense, often developing beautiful lavender or plum hues under cooler temperatures late in the cycle, and are covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile evolves from sweet cream and dough in early stages to a rich blend of berry gelato, citrus, and mint chocolate as it matures. Upon consumption, flavors mirror the aroma, presenting notes of candied orange, vanilla panna cotta, sugar cookie, and a subtle chocolate-mint finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly oily, characteristic of the Gelato family's sweetness.
Effects
Users often experience a calming and sedating sensation from Auto Gelato 33. The effects are generally noted for promoting relaxation and tranquility, making it a suitable choice for unwinding. Its potency is geared towards those seeking a noticeable THC experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Caryophyllene is typically dominant, contributing spicy notes, often accompanied by Limonene and Humulene. The cannabinoid profile is characterized by high THC levels, usually between 20-24%, with minimal CBD content (<1%). Modest amounts of CBG and CBC are also commonly present, potentially contributing to the overall effect.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Gelato 33 is relatively straightforward to cultivate, making it suitable for novice growers. It matures quickly, with a full life cycle from sprout to harvest in approximately two and a half months. The plant maintains a manageable size, ideal for indoor grows or limited spaces.
