Also tagged as Sunset Sherbert, Orange Sherbet, or simply Sherbet, it is the brainchild of master cultivator Mario Guzman AKA Mr. Sherbinski. Bred from the famous strain Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), it took on its parent’s euphoric rush but does not glue smokers to the couch.
With a THC level that goes up to 21%, ensuring its potency, it conveys its Indica force to the user through a deep cerebral buzz sure to get rid of any stress and mental burdens. As the mind is freed from its negativity prison, the body enters a tranquil paradise that eventually leads to a peaceful sleep.
This strain has gained an enormous following, thanks to its fragrance and flavor inherited from GSC. It exudes the sweet aroma of fruits and berries with a refreshing sprinkling of mint. The smoke contains no harshness at all and will appeal to everyone, just like most members of the Cookie family.
Both autoflowering and photoperiod versions of this weed are available to give growers of all experience levels more options. Both varietals are beginner-friendly and fast-growing so that you can enjoy a decent yield of delicious buds in just a few weeks.

Sunset Sherbet truly deserves its moniker because of the sunset shades that can be seen all over the plant. The leaves exhibit a beautiful array of colors ranging from neon green to bright yellow and warm gold, while the pistils are vivid orange. The entire plant glimmers under the light all because of its crystalline trichomes.
Like most Indicas, this strain is short and bushy with thick branches. Due to its compact structure, it benefits from low-stress training and techniques that fight moisture accumulation. Although this cannabis varietal is not considered a heavy yielder, you can still maximize bud production by employing the correct growing methods.
Sunset Sherbet is the ideal newbie cultivator strain. It does not require too much from its environment, yet it still supplies a decent yield. Being naturally resistant to common molds and mildew, it guarantees remarkable quality and quantity of buds even for neophytes. 4 to 5 feet
Indoors, it grows to a maximum height of 120 to 150 cm (4 to 5 feet).To bump up the yield, you can employ the Sea of Green (SOG) method. SOG allows several plants to be grown in a small area, but you should avoid overcrowding them since it could result in higher moisture levels in the grow room. To prevent this from happening, you can install oscillating fans to ensure proper air circulation. Moreover, you can use an organic soil mixture to improve the terpene profile. Terpenes are organic compounds that are responsible for the marijuana’s flavor and aroma.
In addition to these growing tips, you should also trim the thick foliage periodically because it may hinder air and light from reaching the plants’ lower parts. Maintaining the appropriate temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels is also vital to ensure that the plants are healthy. Install a hygrometer in your grow room or tent to monitor these two factors accurately.
Following these guidelines will give you a harvest of 250 grams (8 ounces) per square meter after 8 weeks.
If you are planning to rear Sunset Sherbet alfresco, keep in mind that it favors a dry, continental climate and plenty of sunlight exposure. In this kind of environment, it can reach up to 180 cm (6 feet) in height. Expect to gather 300 grams (11 ounces) of premium quality nuggets per plant by late September to early October.
Regular seeds provide you with a 50/50 chance of getting both male and female plants. If you are planning some breeding experiments, the males will help you with your mission but don’t forget to separate them from the females as soon as you identify their gender. On the other hand, feminized seeds guarantee that all the plants will be female, thus preventing accidental pollination.
Sunset Sherbet also comes in anautoflowering version. Both rookies and maestros are fond of this option because it makes the growing experience simpler, with fewer things to worry about. For instance, it blooms on its own without needing to be triggered by a change in the light schedule. Also, this strain’s natural resistance to pathogens is boosted even higher with the infusion of Ruderalis genes.
Autos typically grow smaller than regular strains, and this is true for Auto Sunset Sherbet. It only reaches up to 80 to 120 cm (3 to 4 feet). Unusually for an auto, though, the yield can be higher compared to its photoperiod version. Employing the SOG technique indoors can produce 400 to 600 grams (14 to 21 ounces) per square meter. Outdoors, each plant can supply 300 to 400 grams (11 to 14 ounces) of buds.
One more advantage of this varietal is the short life cycle. From seed to harvest, it only takes 70 days. You can capitalize on its all-year harvest potential by carefully planning your grow schedule.
