Moonlight Sherb
Also known as: Moonlight Sherbet
Moonlight Sherb Strain Overview
Moonlight Sherb is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s as part of the popular 'Sherb' family of strains, which trace their lineage to the original Sunset Sherbet. This strain represents a carefully selected phenotype that combines the dessert-like qualities of its parent strains with unique aromatic characteristics. Breeders focused on enhancing the strain's visual appeal and flavor profile while maintaining the balanced effects that have made Sherb varieties popular among both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives the flowers a shimmering appearance under light, hence the 'Moonlight' moniker. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. Moonlight Sherb's bud structure is notably resinous, making it suitable for extraction purposes. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become increasingly available through licensed dispensaries in legal markets.
Moonlight Sherb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring attention to environmental conditions to express its full genetic potential. It has become particularly popular among connoisseurs who appreciate complex flavor profiles and balanced hybrid effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream Sherb varieties, Moonlight Sherb has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities for its distinctive characteristics.

Moonlight Sherb Strain Growing Information
Moonlight Sherb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive in warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent sunlight.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Moonlight Sherb requires careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase, and benefits from techniques like low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure to lower branches. The strain is somewhat susceptible to mold and powdery mildew in humid conditions, so proper airflow and humidity control (40-50% RH during flowering) are essential. Growers should monitor pH levels closely, maintaining 6.0-6.5 for soil and 5.5-6.0 for hydroponic systems.
