Gelato Sundae Feminized Seeds by Elev8 Seeds · Premium Genetics for Resinous, High-Yielding Harvests

Elev8 Seeds' Gelato Sundae Feminized is your ticket to cultivating a legendary, resin-drenched hybrid that delivers both monumental yields and an unforgettable sensory experience. This strain masterfully combines the intense frost of Gelato #33 with the complex terpene profile of Sundae Driver, resulting in a plant that's as rewarding to grow as it is to consume.

Ever feel like your grow space isn't producing the kind of sticky, trichome-covered buds that make for epic photos and even better smoke? You put in the weeks of care, only to harvest flowers that are good, but not the head-turning, concentrate-worthy quality you dream of. That gap between effort and outcome is frustrating, leaving you wondering if top-shelf genetics are just hype. But what if your next run could be the one that fills jars with glistening, aromatic buds so resinous they practically beg to be pressed?

What This Genetics Package Delivers

Gelato Sundae is a carefully crafted Indica-dominant hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa) designed for performance. It inherits the best traits from its prestigious parents:

• Gelato #33 Lineage: Contributes extreme resin production, dense bud structure, and a robust, vigorous growth pattern.
• Sundae Driver Influence: Brings in complex sour and fruity terpenes alongside sweet, creamy undertones, creating a layered flavor profile.
• Feminized Reliability: Every seed is guaranteed to produce a flowering female plant, eliminating the guesswork and maximizing your space.

You're not just buying seeds; you're investing in a genetic blueprint for success, whether your goal is premium flower or high-return extractions.

Transform Your Grow Routine

From the moment these seeds crack, your cultivation game changes. You'll watch a strong, resilient plant develop that's built to support the weight of its own success.

How to Grow Gelato Sundae Feminized Seeds

Quick Overview: A photoperiod, Indica-dominant hybrid from Elev8 Seeds with an 8–9 week flowering time, perfect for indoor tents or sunny outdoor spots.

Safe Start & Seedling Stage

Begin with a reliable germination method. Maintain a warm environment (22–26°C / 71.6–78.8°F) and high humidity (70–80%) for the first week. Once the taproot emerges, plant directly into a light, airy seedling mix to avoid early stress.

• Use a gentle watering schedule—keep the medium moist but not soggy.
• Provide mild light (200–400 PPFD) to encourage sturdy, not stretched, growth.
• Transplant to a larger pot (11–20 L / 2.9–5.3 gal) once roots establish.

Vegetative Growth & Training

Under an 18/6 light cycle, Gelato Sundae will show vigorous growth. This is the time to shape your plant for maximum yield.

• Implement Low Stress Training (LST) early to open up the canopy and expose more bud sites.
• Consider a single topping above the 5th node to encourage bushier growth.
• Feed with a balanced, nitrogen-rich vegetative nutrient formula to support strong stem and leaf development.

Transition to Flowering

Switch your lights to a 12/12 cycle to induce flowering. You'll see a noticeable stretch (pre-flowering) in the first two weeks.

• Ensure excellent airflow and reduce humidity to 50–60% to prepare for dense bud formation.
• Begin introducing a bloom-specific nutrient formula higher in Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K).
• Continue light defoliation to remove lower growth that won't receive light, directing energy to the main colas.

Flowering & Ripening

During the 8–9 week bloom, buds will swell and become incredibly resinous. The signature sweet and sour aroma will intensify.

• Lower humidity further to 40–50% in late flower to protect against bud rot.
• Consider adding a PK booster during weeks 3–5 of flower to enhance bud density and resin production.
• Flush with plain, pH-adjusted water for the final 10–14 days to cleanse the medium and improve final flavor.

Harvest, Dry & Cure

Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced effect. For a more energetic high, harvest earlier; for more sedation, wait for more amber.

• Dry slowly in a dark environment at 16–20°C (60.8–68°F) and 50–60% RH for 10–14 days.
• Once stems snap, trim and place buds in airtight jars for curing. Burp jars daily for the first two weeks.
• A proper cure of 3–4 weeks will mellow the smoke and dramatically enhance the complex Gelato Sundae flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gelato Sundae good for making concentrates?

Absolutely. Its exceptional resin production and terpene-rich profile make it one of the best choices for extracts like rosin, BHO, or hash. The yield and quality of concentrate from these buds are outstanding.

How tall does Gelato Sundae get indoors?

With moderate training, it stays very manageable indoors. Its Indica dominance gives it a bushy structure. Using techniques like LST or SCROG, you can easily keep it under 1.2 m (3.94 ft), making it suitable for most grow tents.

What's the main challenge when growing this strain?

The main challenge is managing the environment during late flowering. The dense, resinous buds are magnificent but require excellent airflow and controlled humidity (below 50%) to prevent any risk of mold. Good ventilation is non-negotiable.

How does the high feel?

The effect is a classic, well-balanced hybrid. It starts with a cerebral, creative, and euphoric lift that smoothly transitions into a deeply relaxing body stone without being overly sedative. It's perfect for relaxing after work or enhancing a creative project.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

Let me tell you, Gelato Sundae is a grower's strain. The first thing you notice is the vigor—these plants want to thrive. I ran mine in a simple soil mix under LED, and the structure was perfect for a SCROG net. During the stretch, it was aggressive but orderly, filling the space evenly. The smell in week five of flower is insane; it's like walking into a gelateria that also bakes cookies, with this sharp, sour twist that cuts through the sweetness. The resin production is no joke; by harvest, the sugar leaves were practically white. My pro-tip? Don't be shy with support in the final weeks. Those colas get heavy. I also found that a slight drop in nighttime temperatures during the last two weeks seemed to push those purple hues and intensify the citrus notes. The smoke? Smooth, flavorful, and potent. It's become a regular in my personal rotation for when I want to unwind but still stay engaged. For anyone looking to step up from beginner strains into something with real connoisseur quality and extract potential, this is a fantastic next move.
