Overview
Cookies Gelato Automatic is an indica-dominant hybrid autoflowering cannabis strain created by Royal Queen Seeds through crossing Cookies Gelato with Big Skunk Auto genetics. This strain represents a significant advancement in autoflowering technology, combining the speed and convenience of autoflowering genetics with THC potency levels typically associated with photoperiod strains. The genetic composition consists of 75% indica, 20% sativa, and 5% ruderalis, resulting in a strain that maintains the compact, manageable structure of an autoflower while delivering the powerful effects of its prestigious parent strains.
The strain exhibits a delicate plant structure with dark green buds featuring purple highlights, characteristic of its Cookies lineage. The dense, compact buds are covered in bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes that produce visible, sticky resin. The plant typically maintains a moderate height of 90-140cm both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for various growing environments. Cookies Gelato Automatic is particularly notable for achieving exceptionally high THC levels (up to 28%) in an autoflowering format, challenging traditional perceptions about the potency limitations of auto strains. The strain completes its entire lifecycle from germination to harvest in just 10-12 weeks, making it an attractive option for growers seeking both quality and speed.

Growing Information
Cookies Gelato Automatic is considered a beginner-friendly strain with straightforward cultivation requirements. The autoflowering nature eliminates the need for light cycle management, making it ideal for novice growers. Indoor plants reach 90-140cm in height and can yield 450-500g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor cultivation produces plants of similar height (90-140cm) with yields of 80-140g per plant. The flowering period is exceptionally fast at 8-9 weeks, with total time from germination to harvest being just 10-12 weeks. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, showing good resistance to pests and mold. Training techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training) can be employed to optimize yields, though plant training should be kept minimal due to the autoflowering nature. The strain benefits from proper nutrition during the flowering phase, particularly increased phosphorus and potassium. Proper drying and curing (7-14 days drying at 16-20°C and 55-60% RH, followed by 3-6 weeks curing) is essential to preserve the complex terpene profile and maximize potency.
