Purple Gelato Auto is one of those strains that looks like a dessert, smells like a fruit basket, and hits like a dream. She’s all about juicy citrus zest, deep berry sweetness, and that earthy, piney base that keeps things grounded. Add to that some proper euphoric uplift and physical calm, and you've got a compact, resin-loaded hybrid that delivers far more than you'd expect from an autoflower.
She may sound fancy, but this one’s surprisingly easy to grow, especially for beginners. With a quick flowering cycle and solid resistance to mould, she's the kind of strain that forgives a few missteps and still turns out sticky, colourful nugs that smell like a lemon grove crossed with a candy shop. Indoor or out, if you’re after flavour, speed, and a high that balances energy with chill, this one’s got your name on it.
Purple Gelato Auto comes from a careful cross between the flavourful, visually striking Purple Gelato and a sturdy Ruderalis line. Purple Gelato is known for its knockout colours and full-bodied terpene profile. The Ruderalis injection turns this gourmet hybrid into an autoflowering powerhouse that doesn’t rely on light cycles. The result is a fast, easygoing strain with serious bag appeal and modern hybrid strength.
You’ll feel this one in both your head and body. First, there’s a burst of happy energy and creativity, followed by a gradual, calming slide into relaxation. The high is uplifting and social at first, but mellow enough to wind down with. Great for afternoons or early evenings when you want to feel switched on but still laid back.
flavours? Think sour citrus and sweet berry colliding with earthy pine, soft lemon zest, and just a tickle of herbal funk. It’s complex but smooth, with enough punch to keep even seasoned smokers coming back for another hit.
Purple Gelato Auto delivers a reliable 20% THC hit. It's enough to get the job done whether you’re after a creative boost, a bit of mood elevation, or just some after-dinner relaxation. The 0.5% CBD isn’t huge, but it does help round off the high and soften the edges a touch, especially for those sensitive to stronger sativas.
This strain’s terpene profile is where things really start to shine. Limonene gives you that lemon-citrus sharpness up front, while Beta Caryophyllene Oxide adds subtle spice and some anti-inflammatory kick. Linalool brings floral and herbal smoothness. Alpha and Beta Pinene offer a little pine-forest clarity. Then there's Terpinolene and Cymene, layering in complexity with fresh, slightly sour, almost fizzy undertones.
This is a solid pick for new growers. She’s unfussy, compact, and responds well to basic care without needing elaborate training techniques. The high resistance to mould and disease is a bonus, especially for growers in more humid regions. Since she's an auto, there's no need to fiddle with light schedules. Just plant, water, and let her do her thing.
Indoors, Purple Gelato Auto stays nicely manageable, growing to around 100 cm to 130 cm. She’ll fit well in most tents and doesn’t require a ton of vertical space. Outdoors, she stretches a bit more, topping out between 120 cm and 170 cm, but still keeps a tidy footprint. She thrives in warm, sunny conditions but adapts surprisingly well to cooler or variable climates. Mediterranean, temperate, and even tropical zones are all fair game.
Greenhouse growers will find she responds especially well in that semi-controlled environment, hitting her yield potential without too much environmental stress.
You’re looking at a fast flowering window of just 56 to 63 days from sprout to harvest. Indoors, expect yields in the range of 400 to 500 gram per m2, which is pretty generous for an autoflower. Outdoors, with enough sun and decent care, she can produce between 300 to 400 gram per plant. Not bad for a compact plant that finishes before most photoperiods are even halfway there.
Ready to add some colour, flavour, and fast-growing fun to your lineup? Purple Gelato Auto is the kind of strain that punches above its weight. She’s beautiful to look at, rich in aroma, and rewarding to grow. Whether you’re new to the game or just want a reliable hybrid with standout terpene depth, you’ll be glad you gave this one a go.

I've been growing for a few years now, but this purple gelato was my first go at an autoflower strain. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about how it would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. Grew them indoors under a basic LED setup, and they were super easy to manage. The plants stayed short and bushy, which is perfect for my limited space. The yield wasn't massive, but the quality of the buds more than made up for it. The aroma during flowering was unreal—sweet, almost like berries with a hint of mint. Smoking it is just as good, with a smooth, creamy taste that lingers. The high is more on the relaxing side, great for winding down in the evening.
I was blown away by the vibrant purples and dense, trichome-covered buds my plants produced – a real eye-catcher in the garden!
