Genetic Background
Gelato F7 contributes dense calyx formation and strong trichome coverage, while Sandía Colombiana adds vigor, color expression, and the signature fresh-watermelon terpenes that define this cross. Together they form a balanced polyhybrid optimized for modern terpene-forward cultivation.
