Half Moon Gelato

Expect THC in the low to mid twenties, typically between 22% and 26%, which gives it a strong psychoactive profile.

It is best suited to growers with some experience; novices can succeed but should follow basic training and mould-prevention techniques.

Keep relative humidity in veg around 40-60% and lower it to 40-50% in flowering, using dehumidifiers or ventilation as needed to reduce mould risk.

In cool northern summers plan for a late September harvest in Dorset and consider a covered finish if autumn rain becomes frequent.

Low-stress training and topping encourage even canopy development, while selective defoliation improves airflow around dense bud sites.

Reduce nitrogen entering flowering and increase phosphorus and potassium during mid to late bloom to support bud density and resin production.

Yes, it responds well to organic feeding regimes provided soil is well aerated and compost teas are managed to avoid excess moisture.

Watch for spider mites, aphids and powdery mildew; routine inspection and integrated pest management reduce the need for harsh chemicals.

Dry slowly at 16-20°C with 50-60% humidity and cure in small jars, burping daily at first to preserve volatile terpenes and flavour.

Use a controlled environment with good airflow, carbon filtration, adjustable LED lighting and a dehumidifier to maintain stable temperature and humidity; these measures reduce mould risk and maximise resin production.
