Sweet Gelato Auto® – Sweet Seeds | Sweet & Fruity Autoflowering Strain with Kush Power

Sweet Gelato Auto® by Sweet Seeds is a 5th-generation autoflowering powerhouse that brings the legendary Gelato flavor and potency to a fast, fuss-free grow cycle — no waiting, no stress, just premium results in 8 weeks.

Still stuck with slow, finicky photoperiods?

Let’s be real: traditional strains demand perfect light cycles, months of patience, and a green thumb to avoid stress or stalling. You’re juggling timers, pruning schedules, and hoping your plant doesn’t stretch into the lights. One mistake and your yield tanks.

What if your grow could be this simple?

Imagine skipping the light-switch drama, avoiding the 3-month wait, and still harvesting dense, resin-coated buds that smell like dessert with a Kush kick. No training required. No light leaks to panic over. Just plant, feed, and in 8 weeks, you’re trimming.

Why Sweet Gelato Auto® outshines your current strain

This isn’t just another autoflower — it’s a flavor bomb with serious attitude. Bred from Gelato #33 and Killer Kush Auto®, it inherits the Cookies family’s sweet, fruity depth with earthy, woody tones and a nutty hint of hazelnut. The mentholated citrus finish? That’s the Kush genetics winking at you. It grows compact (0.60–1.00 m / 1.97–3.28 ft), fits in tight spaces, and finishes rock-solid in just 8 weeks from seed to harvest.

Key features you’ll notice from the first grow

• 8-week harvest cycle — faster turnaround than 90% of photoperiods.
• Dense, trichome-heavy buds — sticky as hell, ready for extraction or premium flower.
• Sweet, fruity aroma with earthy Kush depth — a sensory upgrade from bland or harsh-smelling strains.
• Compact size (0.60–1.00 m / 1.97–3.28 ft) — perfect for stealth grows or small tents.
• High THC (18–23%) — delivers a psychoactive, stimulating high that keeps you creative, not couch-locked.
• Indoor yields up to 500 g/m² (17.64 oz/ft²) — serious production without the plant size.
• Outdoor yield of 50–175 g/plant (1.76–6.17 oz/plant) — resilient enough to handle real-world conditions.

Who this strain is perfect for

Whether you’re a city grower with limited space, a beginner tired of complex setups, or a veteran chasing consistent, high-THC harvests without the wait, Sweet Gelato Auto® fits like a glove.

• Growers who want fast, high-quality results without light cycle stress.
• Users who prioritize flavor — sweet, fruity, and complex, not one-dimensional.
• Those seeking discreet, compact plants for balconies, closets, or small indoor setups.
• Anyone tired of weak yields or bland-tasting autoflowers.

How to grow Sweet Gelato Auto® without overcomplicating it

Start in a final pot of 18–27 L to avoid transplant shock — this autoflower hates root disturbance. Use a light, airy soil or coco mix, and keep your light cycle steady at 18/6 or 20/4. Water when the top inch feels dry, and don’t overfeed — this strain thrives on simplicity. For stronger roots from the start, Natural Powers Root Stimulator boosts early development. In mid-flower, Funky Fungi B.A.C enhances nutrient uptake and resilience. Finish strong with ROX Flower Enhancer for denser buds and a cleaner taste.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown my fair share of Gelato phenos — some took 12 weeks, others needed SCROG and constant attention. When I tried Sweet Gelato Auto®, I was skeptical. But 8 weeks later, I was trimming dense, frosty buds that smelled like a bakery with a Kush twist. No stress, no light leaks, no training drama. I ran it in a 20 L pot with a simple soil mix, and it yielded 470 g/m². The high is clean, uplifting, and lasts — perfect for daytime sessions. If you want quality without the hassle, this is your strain. I’ve already recommended it to three friends.
