Take Sunset Sherbet, Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Pink Panties, and one of the definitive modern dessert plants, and put it over Purple Indica, an heirloom of Pacific Northwest fame going back to the early-to-mid 1980s. That is Sherbet x Purple Indica. Every parent CSI use is a cut they keep alive themselves, so nothing in this pack is a reconstruction of a famous name.

Order matters in a cross name. In Sherbet x Purple Indica the Sunset Sherbet side supplied the seed and Purple Indica the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Sunset Sherbet. Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Pink Panties, and one of the definitive modern dessert plants. Given as Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties. Wants a stable room - around 70-78F and 40-50% humidity in bloom.
• Father: Purple Indica. An heirloom of Pacific Northwest fame going back to the early-to-mid 1980s. The purple is in the plant rather than in the weather - the leaves come in dark without needing a cold snap to bring the colour out, which is not true of most purple lines.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two distinct smells, and a pack will give you both plus everything between.

• The Aroma. Berry and tart citrus over creamy dough with a skunky edge and an earthy fuel base from the Sunset Sherbet side, against sweet and earthy with the purple line's fruit behind it from the Purple Indica side.
• The Taste. Berry and citrus over creamy dough, finishing earthy up front, turning to sweet earth and dark fruit through the exhale.

How the two sides differ

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days, the other fifty-six to sixty-three days. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• The smell is a negotiation. Sweet berries and creamy dough with tart citrus, a skunky edge and a subtle earthy fuel undertone on one side against sweet and earthy with pine and berry on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Build. On the Sunset Sherbet side: grows tall and thin with dense leaves; moderate, controllable stretch in early flower; round, tightly packed colas showing deep purple under cool nights; tight frosted buds with the classic Cookie structure. On the Purple Indica side: indica by build, indoors or outdoors; naturally dark purple leaves rather than colour that only arrives in the cold. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Sunset Sherbet is reported as indica-leaning and settling; Purple Indica as settled and unhurried; physical and relaxing. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Sunset Sherbet is grows tall and thin with dense leaves; moderate, controllable stretch in early flower; round, tightly packed colas showing deep purple under cool nights; tight frosted buds with the classic Cookie structure. Purple Indica is indica-framed and compact.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Sunset Sherbet runs eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days, Purple Indica fifty-six to sixty-three days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Sunset Sherbet as indica-leaning and settling.
• The Body. Purple Indica is reported as settled and unhurried; physical and relaxing, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
