Sherbet

Sherbet Feminized Cannabis

Genetics and Origins

Sherbet, also known as Sunset Sherbet, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain with a rich genetic lineage that combines some of the best traits from its parent strains. It is the result of crossing the famous Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) strain with the lesser-known but equally intriguing Pink Panties strain.

Effects and Medical Benefits

Due to its high THC content and well-rounded effects, Sherbet is a popular choice among medical marijuana patients. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. The strain’s relaxing properties also make it effective for managing insomnia and muscle spasms.

Growing Tips

Sherbet is relatively easy to cultivate, making it a suitable choice for both novice and experienced growers. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate. Sherbet plants typically flower within 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. The plants are known for their vibrant, dense buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes, which contribute to their high potency and appealing appearance.

Yield

Sherbet offers a moderate to high yield, with indoor plants producing approximately 8 ounces per square meter and outdoor plants yielding up to 11 ounces per plant. Proper care and attention to growing conditions can enhance the overall yield and quality of the buds.

Taste and Aroma

 Sherbet is celebrated for its delightful, dessert-like flavor profile. It boasts a unique blend of skunky citrus, sweet berry, and candy-like notes, making each puff a flavorful experience. The aroma is equally enticing, with a fragrant mix of fruity and earthy undertones that enhance its appeal.

Effects

 Sherbet provides a comprehensive high characterized by a potent full-body relaxation complemented by a jolt of cerebral energy. Users often experience a carefree and uplifted state of mind, making it ideal for unwinding after a long day. Its effects can be both soothing and invigorating, striking a perfect balance for those seeking relief from stress, tension, and mood disorders.

Make sure your plant receives maximum sunlight and a high EC of 2.0 – 3.0 for best results.   During the bloom phase we recommend the Nutrifield Organic Bud Burst product for insane results!   Simply add Bud Burst as an organic supplement to your existing nutrient regime from week 4-5 on for next level bud formation with a super clean, premium quality organic finish.   Highly recommended!

• Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mold and mildew.
• Monitor humidity levels to avoid excess moisture.
• Harvest at the right time to maximize yield and potency.

Feeding

• All Cannabis strains, require a full spectrum nutrient complete with the macro nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and the secondary nutrients and micronutrients like, calcium, sulphur, hydrogen, magnesium, manganese, carbon, iron, zinc etc.
• Cannabis are big feeders!  Make sure it has all the nutrients it needs, particularly in the flowering stage, to help the buds become dense. Using soil is slightly more forgiving if you overdo it with the nutrients. If you are using a good quality soil, it will have a lot of nutrients in there already, so there is no need to add any during the seedling stage.
• During the vegetative phase you will need to give your plant twice as much nitrogen as phosphorus, and three times more nitrogen than potassium. The nutrient ratios to look for on the bottle will be either 6-3-2 or 18-9-6. You should also add in some sulphur, magnesium, and calcium.  
• During the flowering stage, change the ratio so you are using up to three times more phosphorus than nitrogen and potassium. Also continue to add in secondary nutrients such as iron, copper, and manganese.  Make sure to use orgnanic Bud Burst during flowering all the way as this will ensure a smooth finish with no chemical taste.   Amazing stuff!
• For organic grows, we recommend Aptus Baseboost organic nutrient   with coco/perlite 70/30 ratio.   This stuff is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way making it great value.     Simply add the pellets to the coco as per the instructions and it will completely transform any inert growing medium into a powerful full spectrum grow media..   

Growing Tips

• Your Sherbet strain will need consistent air flow and good ventilation, whether you are choosing the perfect spot for an outdoor grow, or are growing in an indoor grow room. They need air that is rich in oxygen, to help prevent respiration, deter any pests, and allow your plant to grow healthy and strong. Use fans to help circulate air, or if you can afford it, exhaust systems are an excellent choice.
