Strawberry is one of the "Holy Grail" flavors in cannabis. Everyone wants it, but few strains actually deliver that authentic, sugary berry taste. Strawberry Sorbet delivers.
Part of the Sorbet Collection by DNA Genetics, this strain is a fusion of European history and modern American breeding. The mother is the Heirloom Swiss Strawberry, a rare cut famous in the Swiss outdoor scene for its intense red-berry aroma. The father is the proprietary Sorbet, which adds the necessary structure, density, and creamy finish.
The result is a strain that smells like a bag of strawberry gummies and smokes like a smooth, creamy dessert. It is widely considered one of the most distinctively fruity strains in the DNA catalog.
History and Lineage: The Swiss Connection
This cross is unique because it utilizes genetics rarely seen in the US commercial market.
The Mother (Heirloom Swiss Strawberry): A legendary clone from Switzerland. This strain was bred for the Swiss greenhouse/outdoor market and is famous for its intense, sugary strawberry jam aroma. However, on its own, it can be a bit leafy and light-yielding.
The Father (Sorbet): The stabilizer. DNA Genetics used the Sorbet line to add bulk, density, and vigor. It takes the delicate flavor of the Swiss mother and puts it into a body that can handle high-intensity indoor lighting.
The Synthesis: Strawberry Sorbet is the "Indoor Ready" version of the Swiss legend. It retains the mouth-watering candy profile but produces rock-hard buds that yield heavily and finish fast.
Terpene Profile: Candy and Cream
This strain does not smell like "weed." It smells like a confectionary shop.
Dominant Terpenes
Limonene (The Sweetness): In this specific genetic combination, Limonene expresses as a sugary, fruit-syrup scent rather than citrus.
Myrcene (The Fruit): Provides the deep, red-fruit base that mimics ripe strawberries and cherries.
Linalool (The Cream): The Sorbet signature. It adds a smooth, milky finish that turns the fruit profile into "Strawberries and Cream."
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is incredibly sweet. It smells of strawberry jam, bubblegum, vanilla cream, and fresh earth.
The Smoke: Smooth and coating. It tastes of candied strawberries, sweet dough, and whipped cream. It is a very "moreish" smoke—you’ll want to keep smoking just for the taste.
Strain Effects: The Creative Spark
Strawberry Sorbet is a "Happy Hybrid." It is balanced enough to be used during the day without ruining your productivity.
The Experience
The Smile: The high hits quickly with a wave of cerebral happiness. It is uplifting and euphoric, instantly erasing bad moods.
The Creativity: Many users report a distinct creative spark. It is excellent for artistic hobbies, music, or brainstorming.
The Body: A gentle wave of relaxation keeps you grounded. It isn't a heavy narcotic stone; it’s a comfortable physical calmness.
The Sociability: It is a great strain for sharing. It makes you talkative and engaged.
Best For: Creative work, social parties, daytime stress relief, depression, and enhancing the taste of food.
Growing Strawberry Sorbet: The Fast Finisher
This strain is a favorite for growers because it is fast, heavy, and easy.
Growth Structure
The Speed: It is a fast finisher. It is typically ready to harvest in 9 weeks.
The Yield: Large. It is a heavy producer. The Sorbet genetics ensure that the branches fill out with dense, heavy colas.
The Height: It grows Medium to Tall. It will stretch in the flowering phase, so be prepared to train it.
The Feeding: It is a heavy feeder. It loves a strong nutrient regimen (high EC) and will reward you with massive swelling in the final weeks.
The Resin: It is very resinous, making it an excellent choice for making fruity extracts (Rosin/BHO).
Grower’s Tip: This strain thrives in a Sea of Green (SOG) setup. Because it produces such large main colas, packing the plants close together and flipping them early will result in a canopy of massive strawberry-scented spears.
Final Verdict: The Candy Queen
Strawberry Sorbet is the strain for the flavor chaser. It offers one of the most authentic strawberry terpene profiles on the market, backed by a high that is happy, creative, and balanced. It takes the rare genetics of the Swiss Strawberry and makes them accessible and easy to grow for everyone. If you want your grow room to smell like a candy factory, this is the seed to pop.
You should choose Strawberry Sorbet if:
You love Strawberry/Candy flavors.
You want a Happy/Creative high.
You are a Grower looking for fast, heavy yields.
You make Extracts (Unique terpene profile).
