Polar Gelato Auto, by Silent Seeds and Sherbinskis, was created by crossing Polar Gelato with Bacio Gelato Auto. Growers can expect the same tastes and aromas that are produced by the photoperiod version.

Pots for cultivation should be a minimum of 11 litres in size and growers are advised not to pot-on as plants get bigger.

Using a light and airy substrate with judicious watering will result in these plants able to realise their full potential. Plenty of light will promote a good early development. So that when flowering begins at the end of the third week everything is ready for optimum flowering. Outdoor plants are happiest when given plenty of sunlight and good drainage for the roots.

The life-cycle

from seed to harvest takes between 80 – 90 days. Plants have a close internodal length resulting in a high number of bud sites. Indoors, plants can produce 500 – 550 gr/m². Outdoors, in northern latitudes, plants can be harvested between the end of June until late October, depending on local environmental conditions and the date that they were started. Each plant grown outdoors yields between 115 – 270 gr. of dried buds from plants that grow to 70 – 120 cm. tall.

Sweet flavours of ice cream desserts are dominant with some phenotypes having floral notes. While THC levels do not reach those of its photoperiod version they are nonetheless high to very high at 20 – 23%.

CBD, meanwhile, remains very low at between 0.01 – 0.2%. The overall effect is one of a happy and pleasantly harmonious and uplifting although more physically relaxing than the photoperiod version due to the inclusion of ruderalis genetics.
