👨🌾 3 consejos clave para cultivar Gelato
- Odour control: The strains in the Gelato family smell absolutely brilliant, but they also very strong. If you’re growing indoors (in a grow tent), an activated carbon filter isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity!
- Bring out its colours: To ensure the buds develop those characteristic purple and bluish hues, gently lower the night-time temperature by a few degrees during the final two weeks of flowering (to around 18°C).
- Protects terpenes: Don’t dry your harvest at high temperatures or in a rush. Slow drying and proper curing (at least three weeks in glass jars) are the key to bringing out its dessert-like flavour to the full.
