Sherbet Cookies
Sherbet Cookies
Also known as: Rainbow Cookies
Overview
Sherbet Cookies is a modern dessert-forward hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the intersection of California's most influential cannabis lineages in the mid-to-late 2010s. Created primarily through crosses of Girl Scout Cookies (often the Platinum or Thin Mint phenotypes) and Sunset Sherbet, this strain has become synonymous with high-potency, terpene-rich hybrids that deliver both robust aroma and strong effects. The strain is predominantly sativa-leaning (typically 70% sativa, 30% indica) despite some variations depending on the specific breeder and phenotype.
Sherbet Cookies has gained popularity across North American medical and adult-use markets as consumer demand for high-THC, dessert-themed cultivars climbed. The strain commonly tests above the 19-21% THC baseline that became standard in many legal markets. While multiple seedmakers have released their own versions of Sherbet Cookies, the core genetic concept remains consistent: reinforcing the Cookies family's dense structure and spice with Sherbet's citrus-berry creaminess. The buds are typically fluffy and bright neon green with orange hairs throughout, covered in a thick coating of white trichomes that give them their distinctive frosty appearance.

Growing Information
Sherbet Cookies is considered easy to moderately difficult to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The flowering time ranges from 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) for most phenotypes. Indoor yields typically range from 200-250g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 350-450g/m² under optimal conditions. The plants grow to moderate heights of 100-120cm indoors and 150-200cm outdoors. This strain thrives in warm climates (70-85°F) with good humidity control (40-50% during flowering). It responds well to training techniques like LST, SCROG, and topping. The plants develop dense, resinous buds with good resistance to pests and diseases when grown properly. Indoor cultivation requires proper ventilation and humidity management, while outdoor growing is best suited for Mediterranean-like climates with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October.
