Ethereal Sunset
Ethereal Sunset Strain Overview
Ethereal Sunset is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed in the early 2020s that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. The strain was created by crossing Sunset Sherbet with an undisclosed sativa-dominant parent, resulting in a genetic profile that typically expresses as a 60% sativa/40% indica hybrid. Breeders aimed to create a strain that captures the relaxing qualities of its indica heritage while maintaining the cerebral stimulation characteristic of sativa varieties.
The strain's name reflects its visual characteristics and effects. Ethereal Sunset plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a distinctive coloration that transitions from deep purple at the base to vibrant orange and red hues at the tips, reminiscent of a sunset sky. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The leaves often display dark green coloration with occasional purple undertones, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Ethereal Sunset is noted for its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects that provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. While relatively new to the cannabis market, Ethereal Sunset has developed a following for its consistent quality and appealing characteristics across multiple phenotypes.

Ethereal Sunset Strain Growing Information
Ethereal Sunset is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach heights of 120-180 cm indoors and 180-220 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to dense bud development, and implementing temperature fluctuations during the final weeks to enhance coloration. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
