Origins & Lineage
Beam Me Up Scotti is not a single, universally defined cultivar but rather a popular name adopted by various cultivators for related crosses, often originating from cookie and gelato genetics. Its history traces back to West Coast dispensaries between 2018 and 2022, where dessert hybrids were prevalent. While specific parentage can vary, common genetic influences include Biscotti, Gelato, and potentially strains like Scotty 2 Hotty, aiming for a cookie/gas base with gelato-like sweetness and color.
Cultivation Notes
Plants are typically of medium stature with strong lateral branching, characteristic of modern cookie strains. They produce dense, resinous flowers that require adequate light and calcium for optimal development. Due to bud density, careful humidity control is important, especially in the final weeks of flowering, to mitigate the risk of mold.
