Z/1000 x Sherbet puts Z-1000 over Sunset Sherbet. One is CSI's own cross of Zkittlez to T-1000; the other is a Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties cross, and one of the plants that defined modern dessert weed. Two very different plants, and the point of the cross is what sits between them. What CSI sell is access to their clone collection in seed form. The parents are the cuts themselves, not a line bred to resemble them.

Written this way, Z-1000 is the mother and Sunset Sherbet the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Z-1000. A CSI cross putting Zkittlez over their own T-1000. Parentage: given by CSI as Zkittlez x T-1000. The T-1000 side traces back through Old Family Purple to Triangle Kush and Purple Urkle, so there is a lot of purple stacked behind this one.
• Father: Sunset Sherbet. A Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties cross, and one of the plants that defined modern dessert weed. That one comes from Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties. Wants a stable room - around 70-78F and 40-50% humidity in bloom.
• Why these two. They are not variations on the same idea. They pull in different directions, and that spread is what makes a pack worth hunting through rather than just growing.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The two halves stack rather than blend, which is the whole reason to run it.

• The Aroma. Zkittlez fruit sweets over T-1000's grape, cream and pine from the Z-1000 side, against sweet berries and creamy dough with tart citrus, a skunky edge and a subtle earthy fuel undertone from the Sunset Sherbet side.
• The Taste. Sweet mixed fruit with grape and a piney finish up front, turning to berry and citrus over creamy dough, finishing earthy through the exhale.

The two halves, side by side

• What to budget. The documented side, Sunset Sherbet, runs eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives Zkittlez fruit sweets over T-1000's grape, cream and pine; the other gives sweet berries and creamy dough with tart citrus, a skunky edge and a subtle earthy fuel undertone. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Structure varies hard here. It inherits t-1000's dense resinous cola structure and zkittlez's easier, bushier habit from one parent; 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 from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Z-1000 at relaxed and level rather than heavy at either end and Sunset Sherbet at indica-leaning and settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Z-1000 is it inherits T-1000's dense resinous cola structure and Zkittlez's easier, bushier habit. Sunset Sherbet is medium and manageable, colouring up in cooler nights.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. Sunset Sherbet runs eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Z-1000 as relaxed and level rather than heavy at either end.
• The Body. Sunset Sherbet is reported as indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. What they sell is preservation work: old clones reversed into seed so the line survives past whoever is currently keeping it alive. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
