Blue Sunset Sherbert by Barney's Farm

Blue Sunset Sherbert pairs two of the most colorful dessert strains around. Barney’s Farm crossed Sunset Sherbet with Purple Punch to create this 65% Indica / 35% Sativa feminized hybrid, with THC tested up to 28%.

In the final days of flowering, the plant puts on a show: exotic-colored leaves, bright orange hairs and tight buds glued together with frosty trichomes. Above-average resin production makes it a favorite for both the jar and the press.

It is fast and productive. Indoors, plants reach 100–120 cm (39–47 in), flower in just 59–63 days and yield 550–650 g/m² (1.80–2.13 oz/ft²). Outdoors, they grow to 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and produce up to 1000 g/plant (35.3 oz/plant).

Lineage: Sunset Sherbet x Purple Punch

Sunset Sherbet brings the creamy, fruity sweetness and the colorful flowers, while Purple Punch adds grape-candy flavor, deep purple hues and dense indica structure. Hints of both parents show up in the finished plants.

Barney’s Farm stabilized the cross as an indica-leaning feminized hybrid that delivers big yields without becoming hard to manage. The plant grows a multitude of side branches, each strong enough to carry heavy colas.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma is sweet candy, citrus zest and sweet berry. High levels of limonene, humulene and terpinolene drive the profile, and a slow dry and jar time brings those terpenes forward.

The flavor follows the nose: sweet candy on the inhale, a zesty citrus middle and a berry finish that lingers. It is bright, sugary and clean, true to its sherbet name.

Barney’s Farm describes the effect as creative, euphoric, tranquilizing and calming. An uplifting, creative lift arrives first, then a full-body indica calm takes over. It is a satisfying way to round off the day.

Growing Blue Sunset Sherbert Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, plants stay compact at 100–120 cm (39–47 in) and finish fast, in 59–63 days of flowering. The many side branches respond well to topping and LST, which spreads the canopy and lets each branch build its own cola.

Colas get heavy, so consider a trellis net or stakes in the last weeks. Cooler nights near harvest boost the exotic leaf colors, and steady airflow keeps the tight buds in top condition.

Outdoors, Blue Sunset Sherbert can reach 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and yield up to 1000 g (35.3 oz) per plant. Harvest arrives in the first to second week of October in the Northern Hemisphere, early enough for most temperate regions.
