Msg by Cannarado Genetics
Sunset Sherbet × GMO (Garlic Cookies)
MSG, bred by Cannarado Genetics, is a potent indica-dominant hybrid resulting from the cross of Sunset Sherbet and GMO (Garlic Cookies). This cultivar is recognized for its dense resin production and a complex flavor profile that balances sweet and savory notes, alongside a powerful effect.
Appearance
MSG plants are known for producing thick resin and dense buds. Phenotypes can vary, with some exhibiting spear-shaped colas and longer internodes leaning towards the GMO parent, while others display shorter internodes and chunkier, golf-ball-like buds reminiscent of Sunset Sherbet. Purple coloration is also possible in some phenotypes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of MSG is characterized by a unique blend of savory and sweet notes, often described as a funky, petro-onion bouquet with hints of garlic and mushroom layered over sugared citrus. Flavors can range from creamy and sweet berry to diesel and orange, with a distinct lavender undertone.
Effects
MSG delivers a heavy-hitting effect profile, combining sedation inherited from its GMO lineage with the uplifting qualities of Sunset Sherbet. This results in a paradoxical experience that many report as feeling both relaxed and uplifted, suitable for consumers seeking potent effects with nuanced sensory feedback.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
MSG is a THC-dominant cultivar, with THC content typically ranging from 15-25%. Its terpene profile often features Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene prominently, with contributions from Humulene and Ocimene. The combination of these compounds contributes to its distinctive aroma, flavor, and reported effects.
Growing
MSG is considered a vigorous hybrid that requires space and support. It typically has a flowering window of approximately 63–74 days. The strain benefits from heavier feeding and exhibits robust trichome coverage, a trait inherited from its GMO parentage.
Origins & Lineage
MSG was developed by Cannarado Genetics by crossing Sunset Sherbet with GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies). This pairing was intended to merge the dessert-like aromatics and fruit notes of Sunset Sherbet with the potent, savory funk and high resin production of GMO. The strain is also known by the nickname Styrofoam Cup.
