Kobe Sherb
Also known as: Kobe Sherbert, Kobe Sherb OG
Kobe Sherb Strain Overview
Kobe Sherb is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly within the West Coast cannabis community. The strain is believed to be a cross between Sunset Sherbet and an unknown OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest it may also contain genetics from other dessert-themed strains in the Sherbet family. The name 'Kobe' likely references the strain's California origins or pays homage to the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, though the exact naming origin remains uncertain. The strain emerged during the mid-2010s as part of the broader 'cookies' and 'sherbet' genetic wave that dominated the California cannabis scene.
Visually, Kobe Sherb typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The nugs often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The strain is characterized by a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, along with bright orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. The buds tend to be medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids.
The aroma and flavor profile of Kobe Sherb is complex and multi-layered, combining sweet, fruity notes with gassy, earthy undertones. Users commonly report a sweet berry and citrus flavor on the inhale, followed by a creamy, dessert-like finish with hints of fuel and earthiness. The smoke is generally described as smooth and pleasant, though it can be quite potent. The strain's effects are typically balanced but leaning toward indica dominance, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.

Kobe Sherb Strain Growing Information
Kobe Sherb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The plant tends to grow to a medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should be prepared for some height management, as the plant can stretch during the flowering phase. Kobe Sherb prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and requires good airflow to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage canopy height. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage.
