The name of the Sunset Sherbet Strain marijuana strain brings to mind the fruity, non-Ice Cream Sherbet Strain dessert treats as well as the warm glow of a sunny summery sundown. This Indica-dominant hybrid weed is the product of crossing Girl Scout Cookies, itself an Indica-dominant hybrid strain, with a straight-Indica strain known as ‘Pink Panties’ (giggle if you must). With Sunset Sherbet Strain you catch an energizing Sativa buzz tempered by a full-body indica cozy chill.  This hybrid Sherbet Weed Strain has 19% THC and around 1% CBD, which makes it an ideal medical marijuana countermeasure to treat a broad spectrum of conditions such as mood disorders like anxiety and depression, in addition to chronic pain issues such as fibromyalgia, musculoskeletal pain, inflammatory pain such as arthritis or autoimmune pain associated with lupus!

For weed-growers, Sunset Sherbet Strain cannabis has a flowering time of 49-63 days, the ganja plants grow up to about 75 inches (6 and ¼ feet or nearly 2 meters), yields around 3 ounces per square foot and has a multifaceted aroma that blends skunkiness with citrus, berry and honey sweetness! Sunset Sherbet has been crossbred with its own parent Girl Scout Cookies (which isn’t squicky - as long as you’re a plant) to yield Gelato, another Indica-dominant marijuana strain, as well as variations through pairing with a number of other strains resulting in offspring such as Pineapple Sherbet Strain, Rainbow Sherbet, Orange Sunset Strain and Sour Banana Sherbet. Each variation or offshoot of Sunset Sherbet Strain cannabis either adds a little more Sativa energy or enhances the indica body buzz elation, also adding some pineyness or diesel earthiness. Typically though, regardless of the cross, you'll find a ratio of around 85% indica and 15% sativa in your Sunset Sherbet Weed Strain. Clearly, Sunset Sherbet is a vastly popular, useful, and versatile hybrid Sherbet Weed Strain!

Background:

Sunset Sherbet Strain has a rich and varied lineage or ancestry – one parent, GSC, has genetics from Durban Poison, OG Kush, and Cherry Pie; the other parent, Pink Sherbet Strain, is derived from pairing Florida Kush (an offshoot of Hindu Kush) with a Burmese landrace marijuana strain (indigenous varieties of cannabis that make up the genetic backbone of today's hybrid varieties). Sunset Sherbet weed originated in the San Francisco Bay Area of California and has since spread its sunshine worldwide! As a potent 85 indica /15 sativa hybrid, Sunset Sherbet Strain has higher CBD and lower THC count and is thus a good medicinal marijuana strain for a variety of treatments such as increased mental relaxation for stress, muscle relaxation, decreasing nausea, decreasing acute as well as chronic pain, increasing appetite, and boosting dopamine (a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers) and is ideal for night time use. This hybrid marijuana has a deeply textured smell with a skunky fragrance, infused with berry and candy sweetness, and it tastes exactly like it smells: dank with a fruity aftertaste.

For comparison, a similarly indica-heavy hybrid would be Grape Ape. 

Effects:

While your Sunset Sherbet Strain may leave you with cotton mouth, the delicious flavor profile and well-balanced CBD / THC level will make it well worth it. Unlike solely sativa strains, which are more likely to leave users feeling anxious or paranoid, Sunset Sherbet's balance sets users up for a relaxing, mood-boosting high. Customer reviews report this strain leaving them feeling relaxed, stress and pain-free, and in an uplifted mood that can make anyone ready to face tomorrow.

Buying:

A storefront dispensary would charge you an average of $35-50 for 1/8 oz of Sunset Sherbet Strain ganja depending upon whether you had a medical or recreational state license, quality of the grow or crop, availability, time of year and location (some dispensaries are required to levy a local or state tax on purchases). Online prices tend to be a bit steeper and you may need to factor in shipping costs.  A Sunset Sherbet vape pen would run you about $40. Oil cartridges are about $35 for ½ gram and $70 for a full gram. It is also available as wax or as shatter, or resin for $30-40 a gram. Pre-rolled joints can be had for as little as $5 a piece to $15 or more depending upon their size; they can vary in size from half a gram to two grams or more. It’s possible that some edibles, edible marijuana, may contain Sunset Sherbet Strain cannabis, but labels usually don’t specify the type of  Sherbet Weed Strain used in making or baking the food, usually, they just indicate the level of THC or CBD.

Place your precious cannabis extract into Kandypens Donut's deep-dish 100% ceramic atomizer, select one of three pre-set temperatures, and toke-away with this sleek oil vape pen!

Growing:

Sunset Sherbet indica-hybrid cannabis plants grow well indoors or out, although they seem to vastly prefer semi-humid climates with daytime temperatures in the 70-degree Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) range.

Sunset Sherbet Strain marijuana plants grow tall, about 4 feet (a little over a meter) and thin with dense leaves and hints of Purple Sherbet Strain in the flowers or buds.  This strain flowers within 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors with a yield of up to 21 ounces per square yard or about the same per square meter. The flower, or nugs, of Sunset Sherbet, are large, conical deep Purple Sherbet Strain buds and extremely dense and resinous,  covered in bright Orange Sunset Strain hairs, or trichomes. So, if you've got the proper humidity levels either indoors or out, room for this beautiful plant to grow tall, and a bit of patience, you can cultivate this lovely strain into something for you and your friends to enjoy.

Prices for Sunset Sherbet marijuana seeds range from $54 USD (41 British pounds) for a 5 seed packet at Seedsman.com  to $150  for a 12 seed pack at THC Farmer.com; it is generally not hard to shop online for marijuana seeds, just remember ‘caveat emptor’, ‘buyer beware’, and do a little research! You can also purchase Black Sherbet Strain cannabis plants for around $25 or so per plant with the proviso, or heads-up, that prices likely will vary with location, or from web site to web site, and it’s always best to consult an online menu and even call, email or text message ahead if you’re interested in a particular plant, like Sunset Sherbet hybrids, to make sure that they have them in stock.

Seedsman is a great source for seeds. You can order Sunrise Sherbet feminised seeds from them online and try to grow your own beautiful plant babies!

Summary:

If you like some sweet tasting weed and just want to relax and unwind, forgetting all about your troubles, then Sunset Sherbet would be an ideal choice! Not only does it give you a nice Indica marijuana mellow, but there’s enough Sativa content in the Sunset Sherbet hybrid cannabis strain to keep you energized and uplifted! There's a reason it is constantly lauded in cannabis news circles.

Sherbet Weed Strain makes an excellent medical marijuana treatment for a bunch of different medical conditions like stress, depression, chronic pain, even insomnia, and lack of appetite! Sunset Sherbet plants grow tall, around four feet, and produce 3 ounces worth of bud per square foot. The resiny purple buds, or flowers, are purple with orange hairs and are conical, and when smoked the leaf smells skunky with notes of sweet fruitiness. It's available for purchase online or off, as harvested marijuana – in leaf or concentrates forms – or you can buy seeds or saplings and raise a crop of Sunset Sherbet yourself. If you seek a reliable indica-heavy weed strain, you might want to give Sunset Sherbet hybrid weed a try, load yourself a bowl and enjoy the earthy citrusy taste, feel the intoxicating indica full-body high with a slight Sativa heady brain boost!
