Gorilla Sherbet F1 Fast Version by Sweet Seeds

Gorilla Sherbet F1 Fast Version is Sweet Seeds’ ultra-fast take on Sunset Sherbet, one of the most prestigious members of the Cookies family. It belongs to the breeder’s F1 Fast Version line: feminized, photoperiod-dependent hybrids made by crossing an elite photoperiod clone with autoflowering genetics so the plants finish earlier. It is not an autoflower, and it still needs 12/12 light indoors to bloom.

The payoff is speed. This 70% Indica / 30% Sativa hybrid completes flowering in about 7 weeks indoors, while still carrying 18–23% THC and a sweet, fruity Sherbet profile with citrus, berries, fresh humus, wood, and blue cypress.

Yields are solid for such a short cycle: 400–550 g/m² (1.31–1.80 oz/ft²) indoors and 350–600 g/plant (12.3–21.2 oz/plant) outdoors, making it a practical choice for growers who want to squeeze more harvests into a year.

Gorilla Sherbet F1 Fast Version Genetics

The mother is an elite clone of Sunset Sherbet (Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties), a strain highly regarded in US dispensaries. The father is Sweet Seeds’ own autoflowering Gorilla Girl XL Auto (SWS82), which itself comes from Gorilla Girl x Sweet Gelato Auto (SWS74 x SWS76).

Crossing a photoperiod clone with an autoflower produces a first filial generation (F1) that keeps photoperiod behavior but flowers much faster. That is the idea behind the whole F1 Fast Version line, and it gives this variety, listed as SWS98, strong hybrid vigor and uniform plants.

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

The bouquet is intensely sweet and fruity, with bright citrus tones and ripe berries up front. Beneath them sit fresh humus, soft wood, and a subtle backdrop of blue cypress. It smells like a scoop of berry sherbet served on a forest trail after rain, sweet on top and earthy underneath.

On the palate, sweet fruit and citrus lead the inhale, while woody, earthy notes and a cool cypress hint carry through the exhale. The Cookies heritage shows in the dense, resin-coated buds that keep their aroma well through the cure.

The effect blends relaxation with a stimulating, creative lift. A happy mood arrives first, ideas start flowing, and the body gradually settles into comfortable calm. It suits relaxed social time, creative hobbies, or a mellow evening at home.

Growing Gorilla Sherbet F1 Fast Version Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, grow it like any photoperiod feminized plant: veg under 18/6 for as long as needed to fill the space, then flip to 12/12 to trigger flowering. Because the bloom lasts only about 7 weeks, the full cycle is noticeably shorter than with most Cookies-family strains. Topping and LST keep the indica-leaning frame wide and even, and a SCROG net works well for larger tents.

Its dense buds benefit from good airflow and moderate humidity in late bloom. A carbon filter will keep the sweet, fruity aroma contained.

Outdoors, the plant follows the natural light cycle and starts flowering as days shorten, but its fast flowering helps it finish earlier than conventional photoperiod strains. That makes it a useful option for regions with short summers or early autumn rains. Each plant can produce 350–600 g (12.3–21.2 oz) in good soil with full sun.
