All About Sunset Sherbet Cannabis Strain
THC
CBD
Potency
Sunset Sherbet is an Indica-dominant strain. It originates from the legendary Pink Panties and Girl Scout Cookies strains. Featuring THC content of between 16% and 20% this can be quite a potent weed with many psychedelic effects. Its CBD content in it is typically measured below 1%.
Sherbert strain is typical for the Bay Area, California, partly because the mastermind behind it (some called him Mr. Sherbinsky, while other sources state the grower as unknown), was from there, and because of the amount of it sold within the area. This weed strain has a strong GSC core combined with Pink Panties’ energy-giving abilities, which is another point why people love it. Having been already for more than 10 years on the market, it still remains one of the favorites for those who like the tasty kind of high. If you want to try to grow it, you can find Sunset Sherbet Seeds Feminized on our website.
Sherbet listed as one of the most popular strains of 2020 by Alex Pasternack, EVP of Binske. Read more about Binske in Grower Stories #4 |

Flavors and Fragrances
Having an OG Kush as one of your ancestors, you’ll definitely have to inherit the hashish odor, typical for the cannabinoid plants. A crossbred with CSG, it gets mixed with a fruity freshness that includes fresh orange and sweet orange as a dominant note, and strong gourmand candy and sherbet notes.
In terms of taste, there is nothing like the feeling of a tasty joint that doesn’t leave the terrible dry-red-wine like aftertaste and smells like citrusy cotton candy. That’s pretty much what you’ll get with a sunset sherbet hybrid. Be careful though, Sunset Sherbet strain is so strong you might cough for a minute if you haven’t tried anything like this before. The optimal solution here is to smell the plant itself for a while, then make a joint/bong, lighten it and inhale in small doses.
Fans of Sunset Sherbert weed also recommend paying attention to the Apple Fritters strain, although it has a higher THC level, they say these two strains have something in common in effects and aftertaste.
Growing Information
Climate
Sherbet strain loves shaded, warm and humid Mediterranean climate and the most perfect place you can grow it in the States is Central California. It doesn’t mean it only can grow outside – under proper artificial conditions, you’ll have the plant fully grown indoors. A greenhouse with a temperature between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit is considered a perfect for Sherbert OG strain.
Sunset Sherbet Grow
To maximize the yield and help preserve the qualities of the plant, one should expose the plant to cold night temperatures for a few days before cropping. Also, it’s paramount to trim the big leaves regularly. Within 8-9 weeks after planting it, you should expect its blooming in the tasty flowers. Don’t let the Sunset Sherbet strain flowering time get past its maximum deadline as it will lose its aroma qualities.
Soil
Because Sunset Sherbert strain plant loves a warm and humid climate, the soil it grows in should be well-balanced to keep enough water and won’t become asphalt-like when it’s hot. There is no way that there is a shortage of water, as the lack of shadow. Some farmers decide to mineralize the soil but we would encourage you to refrain from it as it will change the smell and the taste, to say nothing of the chemical ingredients.

User Reviews 41
I get that Indica Babe thinks the sun rises and sets on Sunset Sherbet but i have my reservations. which are mostly because of the paranoia. I am used to chilled indicas that get me so relaxed i could meditate. this one had me turning my head every few minutes in fear of pretty much nothing.
I like how fast it is when it comes to pain. There was this long haul in the winter where i would get these random muscle pulls, i started experiimentaing with some tame herbs and soon enough stumbled upon this beauty. All i can say is that the pain is gone and I am now a believer.
Well, its never a dull day when you can light up buds that get you all happy and energized. I have to say i was a little in doubt this baby would come through but behold what we have now. It has quickly joined my top five favorite nugs. Love Love Love everything about it.
There were days when this bud being an indica dominant would have been a major deal breaker but they are long gone. i have come to appreciate some fresh indica baddies and all i can say is weed is heavenly. Sunset Sherbet does not dissapoint and i can attest to that 100%. The high was nothing i can describe in words even if i tried.
Compared to other weed strains I've smoked before , this one hit different! the dizziness was real. I've never felt so paranoid until I pumped this stuff. Good thing is that I was able to complete my college assignment earlier than usual. I am not sure if I'll try this strain again.
Was having a bad day. Pitt hits me; "Y'all, why not try something different?" After a couple of joints, creativity sets in. At some point, everyone was high and we lost focus on what we were supposed to do. We ended up wasting a whole day having done nothing. Well, Idk, but it was worth it. I'll try it again.
I was with my partner at a bash the other day; Being the nervous type, he suggested we should try something to set the mood. T'was my first time puffing ganja. He rolled a blunt and we took turns to puff until the effects downed on us. At first, I was anxious but as time went on, I felt more relaxed. Anyone struggling with anxiety should try this.
At first, I couldnt shake off the paranoia, few more puffs I can attest to the tranquility aftawards. I'll try this again.
In a concert the other day, I rolled a blunt on this one!! With EDM full blast, the psychedelia was somethig else C:
My anxiety causes hypertension and this strain treats both. Lovely aroma and the joint gives a very good high that sometimes makes me couch bound too.
Is it just me or does anyone think it has the smell and taste of violets? It made me very active and confident. A few puffs before heaidng out of the house and Im great 4 the day!
Headache, nausea, a very paranoid feeling - this is what I got after spending bucks on this strain. Leafly is a cheater to promote this kind of strain.
To be honest, I expected the initial berry taste to stay but after taking the puff of the joint, you have a lingering lemony taste on your tongue. Its very therapeutic.
It gives a lingering cerebral high that isnt uncomfortable.
I sense apples when first I smell and then taste change and both very good.
It gives you instant results - I feel verye energetic and feel like I can conquer the world!
A very good strain that is having a wonderful taste
Found the strain on wikileaf and now I wish I hadnt.
Energy is there but it also relaxes the minds chatter!
Best evening strain with a lemony after taste that I prefer.
Skunk is best for fruit lovers
No bitterness and it tastes wonderful
Did a lot of damage to my mind
Its a punch of energy!
Great for muscle spasms after gym!
Very distinct flavours

Sunset is the only mj that I can use in the morning and go to work. It improves my creativity and my imaginations just goes wild. Il love the way it does not have any side effects on me. I highly recommend it if you have any projects that you keep procastinating.
this cannabis has all the effects of weed that I know. The relaxing and calming effect are what I love more. It is well balanced keeps me aware of whats happening around me. A good strain with balanced effects that even new smokers can use.
helps me ease migraines and painful cramps that tend to make my days dull. Its perfect for easing mild pain.
my best blunt with my boo, gives me this kind of feeling like am watching the sunset.
tried this joint and didn’t like the effects it had on me. Left me sleepless with a head ache till dawn.
One of my top five best pots to start my day with. Leaves me feeling energetic with a clear head. This weed works better than a double coffee.
I love the uplifting effects of this MJ! For those days when I feel low its my best option.
This shit was so strong on me!
Great weed for relieving migraines.
Stirs a great appetite
