Growing

Cultivating Sunset Sherbet is straightforward, given its versatility for both outdoor and indoor growth, coupled with minimal maintenance demands throughout the growing cycle. However, it comes with a drawback – a relatively low yield. Indoor growers typically report an average of 8 ounces of buds, while outdoor cultivators observe around 11 ounces per plant. These plants thrive in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. If you reside in such an area, outdoor cultivation in a sheltered spot is ideal. Alternatively, indoor growers can recreate similar conditions with the right setup.

Height

Sunset Sherbet plants attain a medium height ranging from 30 to 78 inches and yield large flowers. Outdoor cultivation promotes even larger plant sizes. Throughout the growing cycle, these plants exhibit a low-maintenance nature, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Humidity and Temperature

Sunset Sherbet flourishes in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when cultivated outdoors. Alternatively, it proves to be an excellent choice for indoor hydroponic growth. Unlike some other strains, it exhibits optimal growth in more sheltered outdoor locations.

Flowering

Indoor cultivation of Sunset Sherbet plants typically results in a flowering time of approximately eight weeks. On the other hand, outdoor growers can anticipate harvesting their yields between late September and early October.
