Unfortunately, there are some instances in the show where not everything will be explicitly stated, and we have to take the information that's been previously established along with current information to put the clues together. (One good example of that this season was in categorizing what Meisner was this season.)  The one thing we don't know for certain is if Kelly has any enhanced abilities from Adalind, but there was never any evidence to suggest he did. There has been more evidence where the implication can be made Kelly is carrying on the Grimm tradition: he is fighting Wesen, he has a Grimm's artistic ability, he refers to the power of his ancestors with an inclusive term ("our") in his Grimm Diary entry, similar to how Trubel referred to "our ancestors" in the beginning of the episode, and his resemblance to Nick further reinforces how Kelly is connected to his Grimm side of the family. In addition, Jim and David have said in various interviews that this new generation of fighters (Diana, Kelly, and the triplets) are all part of one big "Grimm family" in a sense and that a gift, in reference to the power of blood, has been passed down to a new generation. Obviously Diana and the triplets aren't Grimms, so the gift that's been passed down to Kelly is unique to him. There's more interviews out there with Jim & David, but these two (linked below) are probably the most helpful. Kelly may in fact have some enhanced abilities due to Adalind's genes, but there aren't any clues on that front unfortunately. I guess if we were to get really technical, Kelly is a Grimm with the unknown part of his species being whether he's a hybrid or not, but Adalind suppressing her Hexenbiest while she was pregnant is significant, as going through the Contaminatio Ritualis when she was pregnant witih Diana clearly had a huge effect on her. I've discussed this with WesenZoo but I'll bring it up again with him to see what he thinks.
