Also known as: Durban Apricot Sherbert, DAS
Durban Apricot Sherbet Strain Overview
Durban Apricot Sherbet is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the energetic, clear-headed effects of Durban Poison with the complex flavor profile and balanced effects of Apricot Sherbet. The strain was developed to create a flavorful daytime option that provides mental stimulation without excessive sedation. While its exact breeding timeline is not widely documented, it emerged in the 2010s as part of the trend toward fruit-flavored hybrids with balanced effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly sativa. The flowers typically display vibrant green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and burnt orange pistils. The buds are often resinous and sticky to the touch, with a noticeable crystalline sheen when properly cultivated. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark green sugar leaves and the lighter calyxes.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, and its balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained popularity among users seeking a functional high that doesn't impair productivity. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities for its unique combination of Durban Poison's clarity and Apricot Sherbet's flavor complexity.

Durban Apricot Sherbet Strain Growing Information
Durban Apricot Sherbet is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity when grown outdoors.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 150-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense. The plants benefit from consistent feeding schedules and may show nutrient sensitivity if overfed. Some phenotypes may exhibit slight variations in flowering time and terpene expression, so growers should monitor individual plants closely.
