Sherb Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain, bred from popular indica-dominant parents Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties. Fans of the Sherb Cake strain love its creamy, fruity flavor and claim that it is a great strain for relaxing sensations.
What is it about this strain that gives it its unique aroma and potent effects? Find out in this latest strain-focused blog post from Illicit Gardens where we answer all of your questions about one of our best-loved strains: Sherb Cake!
Is Sherb Cake Indica or Sativa?
Sherb Cake, also known as ‘Sherbet Cake’ or ‘Sherbert Cake,’ is considered an indica-dominant hybrid strain. Its lineage stems from cannabis cultivars Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties.
Girl Scout Cookies is bred from legendary strains OG Kush and Durban Poison, while Pink Panties’ lineage consists of Burmese Kush and another Kush back-cross from Florida. With the exception of Durban Poison, all of these ancestor strains are indica or indica-dominant hybrids, which gives the Sherb Cake strain its indica tendencies.
As you can see, Sherb Cake has strong Kush genetics. Kush strains are known for their potentially deeply relaxing effects. Sherb Cake’s genetics are heavily influenced by these indica roots, but grandparent plant Durban Poison is a sativa strain with uplifting, energizing effects.
So while Sherb Cake is indica-dominant, it does have a sativa strain in its lineage which makes it a balanced, hybrid strain.
How Does the Sherb Cake Strain Look and Taste?
Sherb Cake’s green buds have a purplish tinge, with a thick coating of trichome frosting. If you like the flavor of berries & cream, you’ll love Sherb Cake! People who have tasted Sherb Cake say it contains notes of vanilla and berries, particularly blueberries. Hints of tropical sweetness shine through as well.
How Does Sherb Cake Make You Feel?
