The Sherbet is a green plant and is way different than the sunset which finishes purple and is very similar to gsc. Sherb (non sunset) has an awesome orange sherbet flavor and is way better than sunset IMO. Very terpy and better high than the sunset, which is all looks and not much power.

Nice work, sir.
I have the Sherbet cut, too.
She’s been in my tent for over five years now.
I’m glad to hear that you like her so much, and find her superior to her sister, Sunset Sherbet.
That’s always been my perspective on the two and I’ve caught a lot of flack for it online, and in person.
People growing strictly for weight, and bag appeal, always claim Sunset, over Sherbet.
Those of us growing for personal use, and have experienced both sisters, tend to go with Sherbet.
2021 is the year I’ll finally get to do some breeding with her and I’m really looking forward to it.

Sherbet is a decent yielder for sure, as long as you do the work, and top her into multiple colas.
Problem is Sunset has those rock hard GSC type buds and people really gravitate towards them.
That’s always been the main argument on the Sherbet vs. Sunset topic, it always comes down to bud density, and there are more important things about a plant than just that.

I don’t, I’ve heard other people say it’s the same as zkittlez or zkittlez comes from sherb. They are completely different plants ime but maybe they are related. IF the green sherbet is from sherbinski, and just a different pheno than sunset sherbet, it would be pink panties x gsc I think.

I've made some large orders directly through the humboldt csi site. My first was in early 2018 and almost all were in the paper sleeves. I store my seeds well and try to stock and rotate to keep germ rates higher. I just popped a few dozen different packs from CSI. As expected, the newer beans (More recent csi purchases mostly t1000 crosses) are at an almost 100% germination rate. Those first beans are STRUGGLING. I pop older beans from multiple seed makers including some I've made prior to 2017. Usually I only see diminished germination rates after 5+ years. Those paper sleeves (mostly bubba crosses) must be pretty OLD.
I'm just putting it out there that if you have older CSI beans (paper sleeves) then you should probably pop em ASAP. I spent a couple grand on that first order even with the 40% discount. It sucks that seeds that are barely 2 years old to me are having less than a 70% germ rate on most and are even less than 50% on some. Especially when seeds I made before them and stored right next to them are still crushing it (95%+). I wasn't sure if they could do something for me or even just confirm that they might be old stock so I hit them up on the csi site. No reply. I should mention that CSI has given me so many freebies and free packs with my orders that they more than make up for what I've lost. I was really looking forward to a few of the packs I did lose though. I just started the rest of those packs that had low germination rates because I figured now is better than later.

I ordered eight packs from the Irene drop. This is what I got for free. My last post was not to disparage CSI. I'm sure the beans were old, but look at the GENEROSITY!

He is the best for free packs, even his non retail freebies kick ass.

This morning I bought 2 packs of Uzbekistani IBL and a pack of the Big Bad Wolf V2 and was still able to use the Christmas code.

My order I made with BDSB during the big drop took a wrong turn in Albuquerque and just landed in New York.
I wonder if they sent it to someone else?

Did it actually get delivered or just went the wrong way? The seed source sent me a package when souvenir did their drop and it went to Miami after leaving rhode island before coming west. The post office has been busy AF!
