Iced 'n' Baked Auto by Mephisto Genetics

Iced 'N' Baked Auto marks a significant milestone in the cannabis world, being Mephisto Genetics' first venture into the famed Gelato lineage. This strain is not just another addition to the market; it's a carefully crafted masterpiece, standing out in a sea of 'Auto Gelato' strains. Mephisto Genetics has meticulously selected and paired the most popular Gelato phenotype, #41, known for its balanced hybrid nature, dense trichome-laden flowers, and a perfect blend of creamy, gassy, and candy flavors, with their own standout strain, Mephisto’s Wedding.

The creation of Iced 'N' Baked Auto is a tale of dedication and precision. Starting with the authentic Gelato #41 from the Bay Area, known for its shared cookies heritage, Mephisto Genetics embarked on a breeding journey. They pollinated the best of Mephisto’s Wedding with reversed Gelato #41 pollen, selecting only the top-tier plants that exhibited dense, purple flowers with a distinct cake and funk aroma. This meticulous selection process led to the creation of a strain that not only embodies the essence of the original Bacio Gelato but also introduces unique characteristics through its autoflowering nature.

The Unique Characteristics of Iced 'N' Baked Auto

One of the standout features of Iced 'N' Baked Auto is its growth structure. This strain tends to be relatively squat, making it a suitable choice for growers with limited space. However, it's essential to be mindful of its nutrient requirements, particularly in the early stages. Like its Mephisto’s Wedding parent, Iced 'N' Baked Auto can be sensitive to nitrogen, so a cautious approach to feeding is advised. Once past the initial seedling and vegetative stages, this strain shows vigorous growth, especially during the pre-flowering phase.

As it transitions into flowering, Iced 'N' Baked Auto truly comes into its own. The strain is known for its dense, golf-ball-like nuggets that are a sight to behold. The color palette of the flowers is a visual treat, ranging from bright green with violet highlights to pure purple. This is complemented by an intoxicating aroma profile that combines cake, cream, candy, and a hint of gasoline, making it a sensory delight. The trichome production is remarkable, covering the dense flowers in a frosty layer that gives the strain its 'Iced' moniker.

Another aspect to consider when growing Iced 'N' Baked Auto is its susceptibility to botrytis, particularly in high humidity environments. Due to its dense flower structure, ensuring maximum airflow and appropriate defoliation can be crucial for maintaining plant health. This strain's indica dominance is evident in its effects – offering a mellow body high that is relaxing and perfect for unwinding during the afternoon.

In terms of yield, growers can expect a rewarding harvest. Iced 'N' Baked Auto produces yields ranging from 70 to 120 grams per plant, a generous amount considering its compact size. The plant typically reaches a height of 80 to 100 cm, making it a manageable size for various growing setups. The cycle time from sprout to harvest is relatively short, ranging from 65 to 80 days, which is ideal for growers looking for a quick turnaround.

Iced 'N' Baked Auto by Mephisto Genetics is more than just a cannabis strain; it's a testament to the art of breeding and the pursuit of perfection. Its unique genetic heritage, combined with the meticulous breeding process, has resulted in a strain that not only pays homage to the Gelato lineage but also stands out with its own distinct characteristics. Whether you're a seasoned grower or a novice, Iced 'N' Baked Auto is a strain that promises a rewarding growing experience and a delightful consumption experience. It's a must-have for anyone looking to explore the depths of autoflowering genetics and the rich flavors of the Gelato family.
