When grown outdoors, Gelato 41 adapts relatively well to different environments, although she develops optimally in warm climates, which is a sign of her Cali roots. You can obtain bigger yields if you ensure warm and humid conditions, with plenty of light, such as those found in coastal regions with a Mediterranean climate.

If you have a plot or garden, plant directly in the soil. Thanks to her potent and vigorous morphology, you can produce plants of over 2 metres in height without too much effort. This strain will reward you with dense buds that are coated in so much sticky resin that the long branches of the plants will require some type of support to withstand all their weight.

Gelato 41 tends to develop large fan leaves that many growers avoid cutting, unless absolutely necessary. Experienced growers may try to stimulate her pigmentation during the flowering phase by lowering the minimum temperature below the daytime values, in order to encourage anthocyanin production, which is what makes the leaves turn purple. A word of caution, though: don’t do this too soon as it may affect the plant’s yielding capacity.

Gelato 41’s flowering period lasts around 8-9 weeks. This beauty is ready for harvest in early autumn, generally at the end of September or start of October, with a yield that may vary depending on the growing conditions but that never ceases to amaze. She can be a little demanding in terms of care, but all your hard work will definitely pay off when you have your precious weed ready for drying and curing.
