LA Sherb
Also known as: LA Sherbert, Los Angeles Sherb
LA Sherb Strain Overview
LA Sherb is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, specifically the Los Angeles area, in the early 2010s. It represents a continuation of the popular "Sherb" family of strains that gained prominence through their dessert-like flavors and balanced effects. The strain was developed by crossing two notable California genetics: Sunset Sherbert and an undisclosed LA-based OG Kush variant. This combination created a strain that captures the best qualities of both its indica and sativa heritage while maintaining the distinctive terpene profile that characterizes the Sherb lineage.
Visually, LA Sherb plants produce dense, resinous buds that often display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep green hues with occasional purple and blue undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are usually compact and tightly structured, reflecting their indica-dominant heritage. The strain's aroma is complex and layered, combining sweet, creamy notes with citrus undertones and a subtle earthiness that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
LA Sherb has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its reliable performance and consistent quality. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in California and has gradually spread to other legal markets. The strain represents an interesting example of regional cannabis development, where local breeders adapted existing popular genetics to create something specifically suited to their environment and consumer preferences.

LA Sherb Strain Growing Information
LA Sherb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. 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 suitable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to stay at a medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. LA Sherb requires careful attention to nutrient levels, as it can be sensitive to overfeeding. Proper airflow is important to prevent mold in the dense buds, and some growers recommend low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield.
