Anubis × Sunset Sherbet
Anubis X Sunset Sherbet is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Pyramid Seeds. This strain combines the characteristics of Anubis with Sunset Sherbet, aiming for a balance of potency, color, and flavor with a manageable growth pattern. It is suited for both experienced cultivators and those seeking efficient cultivation.
Appearance
Plants typically reach medium heights, with robust lateral growth and thick stalks. Indoor plants may grow 80-120 cm, while outdoor plants can reach 140-180 cm. The buds are dense and can range in size from golf-ball to cola-like, featuring swollen calyxes and a heavy trichome coating that becomes visible by the fourth or fifth week of flowering. Mature plants may display purple or lavender hues, particularly when exposed to cooler night temperatures during late bloom.
The calyx-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, which can simplify the trimming process. Leaves are broad and exhibit an indica-like shape. Dense resin production is a notable characteristic, making the buds appear frosty and contributing to their appeal for extraction.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is characterized by a dominant sweetness, with notes of berry, candy, and citrus. Underlying these are creamy undertones, often compared to orange sorbet, complemented by hints of tropical fruit. A grounding earthy spice is also present, contributing to a complex and appealing bouquet. When ground, the aromatic intensity increases significantly.
Flavors mirror the aroma, presenting a dessert-like experience with prominent sweet berry and candy notes. Citrus and creamy elements are also noticeable, alongside a subtle earthy finish. Some phenotypes may also exhibit floral or lavender nuances, adding further complexity to the overall sensory profile.
