What is the Sunset Sherbet strain?

Sunset Sherbet is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.

Sunset Sherbet is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has earned legendary status in the cannabis community since its creation. The origins of Sunset Sherbet trace back to a cross between two legendary strains: Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Pink Panties. This combination resulted in a hybrid that is predominantly indica, with 85% indica genetics and 15% sativa. It was Mr. Sherbinski, who (previously a grower for Cookies Family geneticists) originally created Sunset Sherbet. According to growers, Sherbert was originally bred by Mr. Sherbinski, who bred Sherbert intentionally to inherit the genetic lineage of its parent strain Girl Scout Cookies. The strain gained widespread popularity after taking out third place at the 2017 High Times Cannabis Cup.

Visually, Sunset Sherbet is striking with buds that are often dense and exhibit a range of colors, including shades of purple, orange, and pink. These visually appealing buds are covered with a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty and resinous texture. The strain is renowned for its dessert-like aroma and flavor profile, featuring a sweet and fruity aroma with hints of citrus. When you first smell it, you might think there are berries in the mix. Sunset Sherbet, like many hybrid strains, benefits from the best qualities of both parent strains—GSC offers high THC content and a rich terpene profile, while Pink Panties brings floral sweetness and calming effects.
