Amarelo
Amarelo
Also known as: Yellow Bud, Amarello
Overview
Amarelo, meaning 'yellow' in Portuguese, is a hybrid cannabis strain that exists in multiple genetic lineages. The most recognized version is bred by Symbiotic Genetics, created from crossing Lemonade (Str8organics) with Banana Punch #9. Another lineage comes from Brazilian Seed Company, developed by crossing Brazilian Landrace with an IBL (Inbred Lineage). The strain presents as a balanced hybrid with some sources indicating a 50/50 indica-sativa split, though other sources describe it as a pure sativa. Amarelo is recognized for its bright neon green buds with yellow undertones and blue-green accents, covered in fiery orange hairs and a blanket of frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 70 days, with indoor yields of around 400 g/m² and outdoor yields of approximately 400g per plant. This strain has gained popularity in boutique cannabis circles for its exceptional terpene profile and balanced effects.

Growing Information
Amarelo can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 70 days. For sativa-focused phenotypes, flowering completes in about 8-9 weeks indoors with medium yields of 400 g/m² and outdoor yields of approximately 400g per plant. The Brazilian Seed Company version requires about 91 days flowering and is noted as not easy for indoor growing, requiring experienced sativa growers due to stretching habits. The strain prefers warm and dry climates, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Indoor cultivation requires consistent temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C) with moderate humidity, while outdoor growers should provide sunny, Mediterranean-like conditions. Symbiotic Genetics offers only feminized seeds, while the Brazilian version was never available as feminized seeds.
