One strain description attributes Super Sherb to the Arizona cultivation operation Nectar Farms, which no longer produces flower. Other descriptions note that no breeder of the cross between GMO and Sunset Sherbet is publicly confirmed. Feminized seeds under this name come from In House Genetics, while Crop King Seeds and SunWest Genetics also list their own seeds with the same lineage.
Genetics and Origin:
Regarding the parent strains, the sources agree: Sunset Sherbet and GMO, also listed as GMO Cookies or Garlic Cookies. The direction of the cross remains unclear, since sellers of the In House Genetics seeds give the lineage variously as GMO x Sunset Sherb or as Sunset Sherbet x GMO. Other names include Super Sherb #4, Super Sherbert and Sunset Sherb #4; one description also lists the strain in shortened form as Sherb.
Classifications differ. One strain description describes a balanced hybrid with 50 % indica and 50 % sativa, while the product information for a medical flower and a seller of the In House Genetics seeds classify it as indica-leaning.
Aroma and Flavor:
A sour, creamy citrus scent is described, with cherry, fresh berries and a spicy-nutty note running through it. Other descriptions highlight pine, orange and mint, or mention pepper, berries and blue cheese. For the medical flower, berries and diesel with floral touches are noted. In taste, one consumer experienced an earthy start that shifted into cherry and rose; another compared it to salted buttered popcorn, sweet at first, then salty.
As the dominant terpene, strain descriptions name limonene, followed by caryophyllene, with myrcene or linalool in third place depending on the source. One of these sources derives the profile from lab certificates of products of this strain. The information for the medical flower lists limonene, caryophyllene, linalool and pinene.
THC and CBD Content:
A medical flower of this strain grown in Canada is declared at 27 % THC and 1 % CBD. These are nominal product values, not the measurement of a single batch. For their seeds, Crop King Seeds and SunWest Genetics state 17 % THC, while one strain description gives 22 to 32 %.
Effects:
User reports describe the strain mainly as relaxing and sleep-inducing; several reports also mention a tingling sensation in the body and an uplifted mood. Giddiness and focus are mentioned occasionally. One report clearly contradicts this general tenor: instead of tiredness, it describes alertness, focus and talkativeness. The description of the medical flower speaks of a sociable, relaxed effect without pronounced tiredness. Dry mouth is reported as a side effect.
Cultivation:
One strain description states a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks, a moderate difficulty level and growth heights of 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) indoors and 5 to 6 feet (152 to 183 cm) outdoors. Another considers the plant suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. The flowers are described as small, spade-shaped buds in bright neon green, with dark purple leaves, prominent orange pistils and a dense layer of coarse trichomes.
Versions from Different Breeders:
For the feminized seeds from In House Genetics, one seller states a flowering time of 55 to 65 days, an above-average yield and a medium to tall growth height. A grower who has cultivated this version describes dense colas and clear differences in terpene profile between plants.
Crop King Seeds and SunWest Genetics list feminized seeds from GMO Cookies and Sunset Sherbet, without naming a breeder. Their figures largely agree: 8 to 9 weeks of flowering, 7 to 9 ounces (198 to 255 g) per square meter indoors, 1 to 3 ounces (28 to 85 g) per plant outdoors, a growth height of up to 4 feet (122 cm) both indoors and outdoors, and an outdoor harvest between late September and mid-October in a temperate climate. The two differ on difficulty level: Crop King Seeds rates the cultivation as moderately difficult, SunWest Genetics as easy.
