Beta-caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, warmth); Limonene (citrus, tart, bright); Linalool (floral, lavender, calming)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Myrcene (earthy, herbal); Humulene (woody, hoppy); Terpinolene (pine, herbal); Ocimene (trace amounts); Total terpene content 1.5-3.0% by weight in quality batches
The Experience- Common Effects
Mental ease and stress relief; gentle mood elevation; body relaxation with mobility; appetite stimulation (moderate to strong); mild creative inspiration (passive); enhanced sensory appreciation; reduced physical tension
The Experience- Duration
Primary effects last 2-3 hours; peak occurs 30-60 minutes post-consumption; slightly shorter duration than some comparable hybrids; gentle comedown without harsh crash; some drowsiness possible as effects fade particularly with higher doses
The Experience- Onset
Effects begin within minutes of inhalation; cerebral lift arrives first with mood elevation and mental ease; body effects emerge over 15-20 minutes with tingling sensation spreading downward; balanced experience without heavy sedation; mental clarity with reduced worry; physical relaxation without couch-lock
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth (nearly universal); dry eyes (common); mild anxiety or paranoia at high doses or in sensitive individuals; dizziness or headaches when exceeding tolerance; pronounced appetite stimulation; potential sleepiness with larger evening doses
Strain Type
Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Situations requiring sustained focus or problem-solving; tasks requiring physical coordination; work tasks or operating machinery; early morning use when productivity required; not ideal for those with low THC tolerance or anxiety sensitivity
Lineage and Origins
Cross of Sunset Sherbert and Gelato; genetics include Girl Scout Cookies, Pink Panties, Durban Poison, and OG Kush; developed by Flavour Chasers breeding collective; gained popularity on California West Coast in late 2010s
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 20-25% (most batches); CBD: <1% (typically 0.1%); Minor cannabinoids: CBG and CBN in trace amounts; Moderate-to-high potency profile; THC-forward with negligible CBD modulation
Comparable Strains
Gelato (parent strain, similar dessert profile but slightly higher THC and euphoria); Wedding Cake (dessert terpenes, balanced effects but more sedating); Sunset Sherbert (parent strain, fruitier but stronger indica dominance); Biscotti (Gelato descendant, cookie flavor but heavier body effects); Ice Cream Cake (dessert hybrid with stronger sedation)

Cultivation Resilience
Tolerates various growing conditions; performs best with moderate temperatures and controlled humidity; requires adequate airflow to prevent mold; benefits from regular defoliation; Mediterranean-like climate ideal for outdoor
Cultivation Flowering Time
7-9 weeks (50-63 days); earlier harvest (7 weeks) yields brighter cerebral effects; later harvest (9 weeks) produces heavier body effects and higher THC
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 14-17 oz/m² under optimal conditions; Outdoor: 15-20+ oz per plant in favorable climates
Cultivation Plant Structure
Moderate height (120cm indoors typical); indica-leaning structure with bushy growth; broad fan leaves; short node spacing; suitable for indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse; responsive to training techniques (topping, LST, ScrOG)
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense resin-coated buds; deep olive-green with vibrant orange pistils; potential purple accents; generous frost coverage; pronounced aroma of tart citrus, creamy vanilla, and diesel finish; sticky texture without excessive moisture; clean break-apart; proper cure essential
