Sherb Cream Pie, also listed as Sherb Pie, is a Seed Junky Genetics cross of Ice Cream Cake and Sherb BX1. The cut most people mean is the one selected by the grower known as Bonez, cultivated commercially in Detroit by Hytek. Candy, vanilla cream and dough up front, citrus and pepper funk behind it, and a relaxed indica-leaning close.
Where It Comes From
The genetics are Californian; the flower that built the name is not. Hytek runs Sherb Cream Pie out of Detroit, and Michigan is where the cultivar picked up most of its momentum — nursery listings, grow journals and dispensary menus across the state carry the Bonez cut by name.
That is a familiar path in the current market. A California breeder makes the cross, a seed population goes out, and a grower somewhere else finds the keeper. The keeper is what travels.
The Cross
Seed Junky Genetics is credited with the cross. The lineage is Ice Cream Cake crossed with Sherb BX1, a Sunset Sherbet-line backcross selection. Ice Cream Cake is Gelato #33 crossed with Wedding Cake.
Bonez is credited with the phenotype, not the cross. Michigan dispensaries describe the plant as a phenotype he selected and shared with the community, and clone nurseries list it explicitly as the Bonez Cut.
Hold onto that distinction: a phenotype is one plant pulled from a seed population, not a separate set of parents. Someone else running the same Seed Junky cross can land somewhere quite different.
Hytek's own copy calls it big candy and creamy with a hint of dough. Underneath that base sits creamy citrus and vanilla against a piney pepper funk that grows more complex across a session. Sweet cream and dough form the floor, and the interesting part is what sits below it — when the cure is right, the citrus and pepper stay legible instead of drowning in sugar.
Flower runs fluffy emerald-green with purple undertones, thin orange pistils and heavy white trichome coverage that reliably yields nutty hash. It classes indica-dominant, and the common report follows: an easy mental lift that gives way to physical settling, calming and body-soothing rather than sharp or racy.
Fit it to an unhurried evening — records on, nothing due. Larger amounts push it further toward the couch and away from anything needing sustained attention. Dose, tolerance, format and batch all move the outcome, and a hybrid label never guarantees a balanced split.
What It Left Behind
The footprint here is commercial rather than ceremonial. Multiple Michigan growers run it, and it holds steady standing on the state's menus — circulation rather than a trophy case.
The clearer marker of influence is nursery distribution: the Bonez cut is sold as a rooted clone by several suppliers, which is how a phenotype outlives the grower who found it.
The High Rise Take
Seed Junky's cross, Bonez's selection, Hytek's execution. Candy and cream over citrus and pepper with a relaxed close. If the dough side is what you want, follow it back to Ice Cream Cake.
