Wedding Gelato Strain Information
Wedding Gelato is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid descending from a three-way cross between Wedding Cake, Gelato, and Gelato 33. As you'd expect from a strain with such promising genetics, Wedding Gelato is capable of producing dense flowers with the tight structure that modern growers treasure.
Besides their bag appeal, Wedding Gelato flowers boast delicious aromas/flavors that perfectly combine notes of sweet, ripe fruit with earthy, creamy notes of vanilla, cake, and ice cream. Packing a large amount of THC, Wedding Gelato is potent yet balanced, and her growth traits have been tailored to suit indoor and outdoor growers of all experience levels.
Wedding Gelato Characteristics
Wedding Gelato is roughly 60% indica, though she exhibits traits characteristic of both indica and sativa. For example, her buds combine the dense structure of indica flowers with the length and size of a sativa, and also pack a combination of cerebral and physical effects.
With 25% THC, Wedding Gelato is a very potent strain that can leave even experienced smokers feeling pleasantly buzzed after a single hit. Meanwhile, her aromas and flavors combine the best of both Wedding Cake and Gelato varieties, making for a sweet yet complex smoke.
Wedding Gelato Flavor and Aroma
Wedding Gelato combines the aromas and flavors of its parent strains to deliver a fragrant and moreish experience. Crack the lid on your curing jars post-harvest and Wedding Gelato's sweet perfume will fill whatever room you're sitting in. True to her name, her aroma combines the fruity, citric notes of Gelato with the creamy, buttery, and slightly spicy notes of Wedding Cake. Her flavors are similar, with an earthy, piney backdrop and a peppery exhale.
Wedding Gelato Effects
Even experienced users find that one or two hits of Wedding Gelato is all they need to enjoy this strain's balanced, long-lasting effect. Initially, Wedding Gelato induces a cerebral high characterised by waves of euphoria that stimulate conversations, laughter, and creative thinking, making this a great strain for social settings or daytime use. After a while, Wedding Gelato's effects turn to the body, delivering a soothing stone that eases the muscles without causing couch-lock.
Growing Wedding Gelato
Ever since it hit the shelves, Wedding Gelato has been delighting indoor and outdoor growers of all skill levels. On the one hand, Wedding Gelato is easy enough to suit beginner growers looking for a plant that delivers great results with minimal effort. At the same time, Wedding Gelato is very stable and resilient, making her a perfect choice for experienced growers who like to experiment with training or advanced setups like ScrOG and SOG. Indoors, Wedding Gelato can yield up to 500 g/m², while outdoor plants can deliver up to 400 g/plant.
Germinating Wedding Gelato
At RQS, we pride ourselves on the freshness of our seeds, and all Wedding Gelato seeds have been tested to offer the best germination rates. We recommend germinating these seeds using the tried-and-tested paper towel method, though growers also report great results when sprouting Wedding Gelato in starter pots and coco blends. After germinating, Wedding Gelato plants will develop their first true leaves in as little as 1‒2 weeks.
Vegetative Phase
Wedding Gelato plants boast a fairly typical hybrid structure and develop moderate-sized fan leaves and a strong central stem with medium internodal spacing. After 2‒3 weeks in veg, Wedding Gelato plants typically measure around 25‒30 cm. Rookie growers should feel confident leaving these plants to grow of their own accord, while more experienced growers can use this time to train, top, defoliate, or otherwise manipulate their plants before flipping them to bloom.
Flowering Phase & Harvest Time
During their first two weeks in bloom, Wedding Gelato plants stretch considerably and can reach max heights of 100 cm indoors. Outdoors, expect taller plants reaching 130‒200 cm (depending on local conditions and your growing style). As they flower, Wedding Gelato plants produce thick bud clusters and become very aromatic. On average, indoor plants can be harvested after 8‒10 weeks, while outdoor plants can get the chop in early October. Outdoors, Wedding Gelato performs best in hot climates with long, sunny summers.
Like her predecessors, Wedding Gelato produces chunky flowers with a frosty layer of trichomes, tightly stacked green calyxes, and bright orange pistils. At harvest time, your Wedding Gelato plants should smell sweet and creamy, with notes of mint, pine, and citrus that become ever-more complex as the plants dry and cure.
