Sunset Sorbet Strain
November 22, 2023 | Elyxr's Blog

How can you resist a name like Sunset Sorbet? Once you get past its creamy n’ sweet, fruity flavor, you’re treated to a gloriously soothing high unlike any other. And, it gets some major points in the pain relief department, as well as its ability to wind down those racing thoughts that keep you in a state of stress. Let’s look more closely at Sunset Sorbet, for those of you still on the fence about it.

Sunset Sorbet Basics

Sunset Sorbet is a cross between Golden Saigon and A420/A430 indica-dominant hybrids. One of the most sought-after strains at dispensaries, it’s 85% indica-dominant, with many people putting it in the indica category rather than the hybrid category because of how much it behaves like a true indica. It yields about 15%-19% THC, making it moderately potent, with about 1% CBD to boot.

Bud Characteristics

Sunset Sorbet’s buds look like miniature Christmas trees, with a conical shape and fluffy appearance. They’re extremely large nugs, boasting extra-long orange hairs and an unmistakable layer of creamy trichomes.

Growing Sunset Sorbet Seeds

Although Sunset Sorbet is a bit difficult to grow, it still grows well both indoors and outdoors. Regardless, a central California climate with warm nights and hot days (68°F -80°F) is ideal for outdoor production of this strain. Humidity should be higher (around 60%-70%) during the seedling and vegetative phases, then gradually decrease to around 40%-50% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. Wait until at least 50%-70% of the trichomes turn milky white or amber, and most of the pistils (hairs) darken and curl in. Harvesting at the right time ensures optimal potency and flavor.

Flavor & Aroma

Sunset Sorbet is an absolutely mouthwatering strain, even at first whiff. Notes of juicy peaches, berries and citrus instantly entice you with seriously sweet n’ creamy undertones that carry into the flavor profile. In fact, for flavor alone, this strain is an absolute must, as you will be completely dazzled by how good it tastes.

Sunset Sorbet Uses and Effects

Sunset Sorbet is a phenomenal strain for treating muscle cramps, soreness, inflammation, anxiety, and migraines. It’s also perfect for easing insomnia since its body high paired with its ultra-relaxing mental effects can help you close your eyes and wind down in no time. Hence, many people love this one strictly for bedtime, enjoying it about an hour or so before hitting the hay to enjoy that initial boost which wears off in a relatively short period of time.

What Can You Expect When Taking Sunset Sorbet?

Unlike many other strains, the high is not too harsh and is easily managed. The THC is fast to ramp up, so you won’t be waiting around long for that buzz to take over. The ‘high’ starts off with a heavy stimulating effect that makes you feel charged up, talkative, giddy and motivated. You might find yourself yearning to do something creative, like jot own your thoughts or jam out on the guitar.

A feeling of euphoria becomes more intense as the ‘high’ takes over the brain, all while your body starts to feel warm and fuzzy like it’s wrapped in a fluffy blanket. But don’t be fooled – before long, things change direction and you will likely find yourself feeling sleepy, tranquil, and even couchlocked. That right there is why you want to time this strain properly to take full advantage of what it has to offer.

Basically, if you’ve a high THC tolerance, you can probably enjoy Sunset Sorbet as a daytime strain, although we ultimately recommend sticking to evening use because the indica effects do get heavier and heavier as time goes on.
