How to Grow Lemon Cherry Gelato and Glitter Bomb Like a Pro

Growing premium cannabis strains like Lemon Cherry Gelato and Glitter Bomb takes skill, care, and the right start — healthy clones. If you’ve recently got your clones from Mr. Clones, you’re already halfway there. Let’s walk through exactly how to grow these genetics like a pro — from setup to harvest.

1. Know Your Strains

Before diving into the growing process, it’s crucial to understand the unique traits of each strain.

Lemon Cherry Gelato

• Type: Hybrid
• Flavour: Sweet cherry, citrus, and creamy dessert tones
• Effects: Relaxing, euphoric, and uplifting
• Grow Difficulty: Moderate
• Ideal Environment: Controlled indoor space with stable temperatures
  

Glitter Bomb

• Type: Indica-dominant hybrid
• Flavour: Fruity, gassy, and slightly spicy
• Effects: Soothing body high with a calm mental buzz
• Grow Difficulty: Easy to moderate
• Ideal Environment: Indoor or greenhouse setups
  

Both of these strains thrive when they receive the right balance of nutrients, light, and attention — and Mr. Clones ensures each clone is healthy, pest-free, and ready to grow.

2. Preparing Your Grow Setup

Lighting:
For both Lemon Cherry Gelato and Glitter Bomb, strong lighting is key. LED or full-spectrum grow lights work best.

• Vegetative Stage: 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness
  
• Flowering Stage: 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness
  

Temperature and Humidity:
Keep the temperature between 22–27°C (72–80°F) during the day and slightly cooler at night.

• Veg Stage Humidity: 55–65%
• Flower Stage Humidity: 40–50%
  

Airflow:
Install fans and an exhaust system to ensure air circulation and prevent mold buildup — both strains produce dense buds that need airflow to stay healthy.

3. Transplanting Your Clones

Once your Mr. Clones package arrives, you’ll receive healthy, rooted clones that are ready to grow.
Here’s how to transplant them correctly:

1. Acclimate Your Clones: Leave them in their packaging for 30–60 minutes after arrival to adjust to your room’s temperature.
2. Prepare the Medium: Choose soil, coco coir, or hydroponic systems. If using soil, make sure it’s rich with perlite for drainage.
3. Transplant Carefully: Place the clone into a pre-dug hole, gently firm the soil around the base, and water immediately with pH-balanced water (5.8–6.2).
4. Keep Under Gentle Light: For the first 24 hours, keep the light slightly dimmer to reduce stress.
   

4. Feeding and Nutrients

Both Lemon Cherry Gelato and Glitter Bomb are medium feeders. Overfeeding can cause nutrient burn, while underfeeding stunts growth.

Nutrient Tips:

• Vegetative Stage: Focus on nitrogen-rich nutrients to support leafy growth.
• Flowering Stage: Shift to phosphorus and potassium-heavy nutrients to maximize bud production.
• Always check the pH of your water — aim for 5.8–6.3.
• Add beneficial microbes or mycorrhizae to support root health.
  

5. Training Techniques

If you want to grow like a pro, training is essential for bigger yields.

• Topping: Cut the main top early to create multiple colas.
• LST (Low-Stress Training): Bend and tie branches outward to expose more bud sites.
• Defoliation: Remove excess leaves during late veg and early flower to improve light penetration.
  

These techniques help you grow bushier plants with higher yields, especially important for Lemon Cherry Gelato, which tends to grow tall, and Glitter Bomb, which forms dense buds.

6. Flowering Stage and Harvest Time

Lemon Cherry Gelato typically flowers in 8–9 weeks, while Glitter Bomb takes about 9–10 weeks.
During this phase:

• Lower humidity to around 40–45%.
• Maintain consistent airflow.
• Avoid overwatering — let the top inch of soil dry before watering again.
  

You’ll know it’s time to harvest when:

• Trichomes turn milky white with some amber.
• Pistils (hairs) darken and curl inward.
  

Cut the plant, hang it upside down in a dark, ventilated room for 7–10 days, and then cure the buds in airtight jars for at least 2–3 weeks for best flavor and potency.

7. Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overwatering: Let the roots breathe — cannabis loves oxygen.
• Ignoring pH: Incorrect pH can lock out nutrients.
• No Airflow: Poor ventilation causes mold and mildew.
• Harvesting Too Early: Wait until trichomes show the perfect cloudy/amber balance.

FAQs

Can I grow Lemon Cherry Gelato and Glitter Bomb outdoors?
Yes, but they perform best indoors or in greenhouses where you can control the temperature, especially during Canada’s cold months.

How do I prevent shock after transplanting clones?
Keep them in stable light, avoid overwatering, and ensure the root zone stays warm (around 22°C).

Do these strains require different nutrients?
They both thrive with balanced nutrients, but Glitter Bomb may benefit from slightly higher phosphorus during mid-flower to boost resin production.

What’s the best way to increase yields?
Use topping and LST early, provide consistent light, and maintain ideal humidity during flowering.
