Sherbet

Embark on an unforgettable journey with an amazing cannabis plant! Sherbet's stunning aroma, unforgettable flavor and potent yet mellow effects are a trio worthy of the highest accolades. Once you get to know this remarkable hybrid, you'll discover your one and only favorite strain.

Genetics and Characteristics

Sherbet, also known as Sunset Sherbet, Sherbert or Sherbert OG, is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (85/15) hybrid with a high THC content of up to 20%. The distinguishing feature of this strain is its unique organoleptic composition, inherited from the iconic Girl Scout Cookies and the striking Pink Panties. In the late stages of maturation, the charming appearance of this enigmatic variety takes on an almost mystical allure. The foliage of these lush plants with their typical indica structure takes on shades of red and purple as night temperatures drop, and the dense, cone-shaped nuggets are covered in a thick layer of fat trichomes. Indoors, flowering lasts 8-9 weeks, with yields around 350 g/m² (12 oz). Outdoors, expect up to 400g (14oz) of highly fragrant buds per plant.

Flavor and Aroma

Dried and cured, Sherbet's flowers are fireworks of a rich organoleptic composition that explodes with vibrant colors. An intricate and incredibly graceful dance of homemade pastry, cream, vanilla, chocolate, sweet mint, ripe fruits, spices, and herbs swirl around your taste buds. Emerging from a rich gastronomic palette with hints of pine and earth, the primary flavor will unfold with refreshing citrus notes and bitter, hashy undertones.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

In addition to its high THC content and pronounced indica dominance, this strain stands out for its remarkably smooth and balanced effects, that won't cause couch-lock even at peak intensity. On the contrary, you'll be surprised by the extraordinary clarity and focus of thought that opens up a world of mindful contemplation or leisurely conversation with like-minded friends while your body enjoys deep relaxation and weightlessness.

In a medical context, Sherbet is used to treat depression, anxiety, chronic stress and ADHD, as well as insomnia and various types of pain.

Cultivation

As this strain is a bit finicky about growing conditions, it is more suitable for experienced growers or enthusiasts looking to improve their cultivation skills. The optimal outdoor climate for Sherbet is warm and moderately humid, with nighttime temperatures not falling below 21 °C (70 °F) during vegetation. If your area experiences frequent rainfall, consider growing Sherbet in 20-25 liter (5.3-6.6 gallons) grow bags, which will make it easier to move the plants under cover in the event of inclement weather. Techniques like LST, topping, tying and defoliation during the vegetative phase will form a compact, low-profile plant, providing a flat canopy for optimal light coverage and ultimately increasing final yield.

Sherbet has a hearty appetite, especially during the vegetative stage. To fully unlock its flavor and aroma profile, grow it organically using nutrient-rich soil and organic fertilizers. Controlling pH and ppm will eliminate the risk of salt buildup and excessive nutrient input, known as nutrient lockout. If using mineral fertilizers, don't forget to flush the root system 1-2 weeks before harvest.

When growing indoors, it is important to maintain an optimal environment, proper air exchange and airflow with the help of oscillating fans, and odor control through the use of a good carbon filter. Sherbet shows excellent results with the Screen of Green (ScrOG) technique and full-spectrum LED boards that accurately mimic natural sunlight.
