There are two very different things inside Sherbet x Runtz. Sunset Sherbet, a Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties cross, and one of the plants that defined modern dessert weed. And Runtz, the candy plant the whole modern sweet-flavour category was built on. 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 Runtz the Sunset Sherbet side supplied the seed and Runtz 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. Built from Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties. Wants a stable room - around 70-78F and 40-50% humidity in bloom.
• Father: Runtz. Zkittlez crossed to Gelato #33, and the plant that defined the modern candy category. Built from Zkittlez x Gelato #33. Rated intermediate and sensitive to humidity swings and temperature stress - keep the room steady.
• 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

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Sweet berries and cream cut with citrus, with skunk and a faint fuel note underneath from the Sunset Sherbet side, against sweet fruit and sour berry on vanilla cream, ending peppery and gassy from the Runtz side.
• The Taste. Berry and cream with a citrus lift up front, turning to berry candy over cream, with a light gas edge through the exhale.

What each side brings

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days, the other eight to nine weeks, with fast plants at fifty-five to sixty days. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• Two noses, one pack. Sunset Sherbet contributes sweet berries and creamy dough with tart citrus, a skunky edge and a subtle earthy fuel undertone. Runtz contributes sugary fruit and sour berry over creamy vanilla, closing on a peppery gas note. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. 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. Runtz is manageable medium height with sturdy lateral branching; dense buds under a serious frost, deep greens and purples. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• Opposite ends. Sunset Sherbet is reported as indica-leaning and settling; Runtz as balanced and even. 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 medium and manageable, colouring up in cooler nights. Runtz is manageable medium height with sturdy lateral branching; dense buds under a serious frost, deep greens and purples.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Sunset Sherbet runs eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days, Runtz eight to nine weeks, with fast plants at fifty-five to sixty 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. Runtz is reported as balanced and even, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. CSI work from clone stock they have kept for years and reverse it into seed, so what arrives in a pack is the real cut's genetics rather than a seed-line approximation of it. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
