Sherb Cream Pie is a Seed Junky Genetics hybrid that crosses Ice Cream Cake with Sherb BX1. Detroit flower brand Hytek grows and sells the featured version in Michigan, and its product page credits Seed Junky Genetics as the breeder.
The name spells out the family. Ice Cream Cake brings the cream and the cake, while Sherb BX1 is Sherbet backcrossed one time, a detail Leafly calls out on its strain page.
Ice Cream Cake on one side
Ice Cream Cake is an indica-dominant cross of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33. Leafly lists Sherb Cream Pie among its offspring, alongside Halle Berry.
Growers describe Ice Cream Cake as light green and purple buds flushed with icy trichomes, on a medium-tall plant that flowers in 8–9 weeks. Leafly puts it at about 22% THC, with caryophyllene as its leading terpene. It can be grown indoors or outdoors and suits intermediate and advanced growers.
Wedding Cake, also known as Triangle Mints #23, is a Triangle Kush and Animal Mints cross. Leafly named it Strain of the Year in 2019 and lists it as a parent of both Ice Cream Cake and LA Kush Cake.
Sherbet, backcrossed once
The other parent, Sherb BX1, is short for Sherbet backcrossed one time. Weedmaps lists the Sherb side as a Sherbet phenotype. Leafly places Sherbet among the offspring of Girl Scout Cookies, which ties this half of the cross back to the Cookies family.
Sherbet genetics run through both sides of the cross. Leafly traces Gelato #33, also known as Larry Bird, to Cookie Fam and Sherbinski's cross of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Sherb BX1 then adds a backcrossed Sherbet on the other side.
Girl Scout Cookies shows up twice as well, through Thin Mint GSC in Gelato #33 and through Sherbet's own GSC ancestry. Leafly credits GSC to California breeder Jigga, who crossed a sub-type of OG Kush with F1 Durban.
Hytek's Detroit flower
Hytek's product page lists Sherb Cream Pie as a hybrid and credits Seed Junky as the breeder. The company sums up the flavor as a big candy, creamy profile with a hint of dough.
Hytek sells top-shelf flower in eighths along with pre-rolls, rosin products and its budget LOWTEK line. Its site leans on the tagline "step into sustainability" and pairs the cannabis lineup with a merchandise collection. Its products reach shoppers through licensed Michigan dispensaries.
Hytek is not the only Michigan name working the strain. Weedmaps lists Bodega, High Life Farms and Hyman among the growers carrying Sherb Cream Pie.
Purple dapples and a lot of stretch
Leafly describes frosty, purple-dappled flowers and a flowering time of about nine weeks. Growers report that the plant stretches a relatively high amount during flower.
Weedmaps adds fluffy emerald buds with purple undertones, thin orange pistils and white crystal trichomes, and says those trichomes wash into a nutty hash. Both Leafly and Weedmaps class the cultivar as an indica-dominant hybrid, and Leafly reviewers most often report relaxed, happy and euphoric effects.
