Apple Gelato
Also known as: Caramel Apple Gelato
Overview
Apple Gelato is a balanced hybrid strain created by crossing Gelato #33 with Sour Apple, originally bred by Alien Genetics. The strain represents the result of sophisticated breeding techniques that highlight the art of modern cannabis cultivation practices. Apple Gelato features a perfectly balanced 50% indica and 50% sativa profile, making it an ideal equilibrium combining the soothing relaxation of indica with the uplifting euphoria typical of sativa strains. The strain boasts an exceptionally high THC content of 35%, though other sources report THC levels typically ranging between 20% and 25%. Apple Gelato buds are visually striking with vibrant and dense nugs showcasing a beautiful array of colors ranging from deep purples and greens to golden hues, with abundant trichomes giving the buds a frosty appearance. The mix of myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene terpenes give this strain the taste and smell of sour apples and creamy sugary goodness, with dense buds often a mix of bright emerald greens and deep purples, decorated with orange hairs and a frosty layer of sticky trichomes.

Growing Information
Apple Gelato flourishes both indoors and outdoors, taking about 8-9 weeks to flower, though some sources indicate an average flowering time of 67 days with indoor flowering ranging from 63-70 days and outdoor harvest by mid-October. The strain grows 30''-60'' in height, develops dense olive green nugs, takes 55-62 days to flower and delivers medium-sized harvests of 1-2 oz./ft². Cultivating Apple Gelato requires careful attention to detail, particularly in managing nutrients and optimizing environmental conditions. To maximize output, employing various training methods such as low-stress training (LST) and high-stress training (HST), along with effective pruning techniques, can greatly enhance the plant's structure and flowering sites. A precise nutrient schedule is vital in fostering robust growth and potent buds. Growers must decide between soil and hydroponic setups, each offering distinct advantages, and implementing reliable pest management strategies is essential to protect the plants from common threats. The strain is best grown indoors according to growers, though it can thrive in both environments with proper care.
