Sherbet lab report

For Sherbet, 20% was a common cutoff while 25% was uncommon: across 768 flower tests, the at-or-above shares for 20%, 25% and 30% were 56%, 8.5% and 0.5%.¹

Among 4 states with enough Sherbet tests, Washington was highest at 20% THC: 73% reached 20% or more (251 tests, median 21.87%), while Maryland was lowest at 15% (72 tests, median 16.27%).¹ Those state contrasts mix cultivation, lab practices and local testing rules with plant chemistry.

zero of the three single outside THC figures we checked sits above Sherbet's 20.52% lab median, so the single figures are conservative against the dataset.¹ The highest single figure, 20% from ILGM, was met or exceeded by 56% of tests, about 6 in 10.^1,2

The lowest single figure, 18% from Leafly, was met or exceeded by 73% of tests, about 7 in 10.^1,4 The range claims spread much wider: 15–24% from Weedmaps captured 75% of tests, while 15–19% from AllBud captured 26%.^1,5,6

A strain-page number is not a batch result; the certificate of analysis for the jar in hand is the document to use.

For Sherbet, β-caryophyllene is the usual leader but not close to universal: it led 53% of 193 terpene-profiled tests, ahead of limonene at 29% and β-myrcene at 15%.¹

Leafly names caryophyllene as dominant, and the lab count points the same way: β-caryophyllene led 53%.^1,4

The base is concentrated in Nevada: 175 of 193 terpene-profiled records came from that state, so the shares mostly describe its flower.¹

Sherbet's nearest profile neighbors are Ice Cream Cake (95%), Wedding Cake (94%) and OG Kush (94%); at the other end, Durban Poison has the lowest overlap in the 36-strain pool (41%).¹

Those nearest profiles all have β-caryophyllene as their lead terpene, while Durban Poison leads with terpinolene.¹

Method: we reduce each strain to the share split of eight terpenes, using median levels, then compare how much of two splits overlaps; identical mixes score 100. The comparison pool requires a 30-test terpene-profile minimum for each strain.¹ This is chemistry-only matching, not a forecast of how Sherbet or another strain will feel.

Among qualifying strains, by median total THC, Sherbet sits near the center of our comparison set: 27th of 52 at 20.52%, between Super Lemon Haze at 20.84% and Northern Lights at 20.03%.¹ Its 8.5% share at 25% or more ranks 34th.¹

Its central spread is 5.19 points, from 17.60% to 22.79%, ranking 27th narrowest among 52 strains with enough data; that is about average consistency.¹

For flower batches spanning growers and state markets, for Sherbet, the bigger-lab split is large: among the nine labs with at least 20 tests, medians bottomed at 14.68% for Lab H (Nevada) and peaked at 23.42% for Lab D (Washington); the distance between them was 8.74 points.¹

The spread is not only a state effect: within Michigan, the three labs with enough Sherbet tests differed by 3.61 points, from 18.49% to 22.10%.¹

A lab receives its own mix of growers and batches, so this spread is not evidence that one lab measures high; it shows grower and tester differences together. Lab labels are anonymized here, with Lab A assigned to the largest count, and the download gives the actual lab names.

No: across 259 Sherbet tests paired for THC and terpenes, the high-THC group at 21.03% or higher had a median 1.19% total terpenes, below 1.32% for the low-THC group at 16.82% or lower, a terpene-median gap of 0.13 points.¹

By state, the direction split: among the two states meeting the 30-paired-test cutoff, Nevada down and Maryland up; one followed the overall result, with Nevada at 1.16% for the low-THC third and 1.13% for the high-THC third.¹ Total terpenes are weight-based aroma-compound totals, not effect measures.

Overall, Sherbet did not test stronger: median THC changed −1.29 points, from 21.87% in 2018 (123 tests) to 20.58% in 2023 (33 tests) among years with enough data.¹

Holding Washington separate changes the read: its median moved from 22.10% in 2018 to 22.60% in 2022, +0.50 points, so the state mix behind the overall series matters.¹ Years with fewer than 20 Sherbet tests are excluded.¹

Exact-name Sherbet records were mostly flower, 73% of 1,146; the remaining entries were concentrates at 16%, then shake and trim (7.3%) and other or unrecorded (3.0%).¹ These sitewide THC and terpene summaries use flower records only.

The exclusion is large: 3,357 records used an extended name containing Sherbet, equal to 75% of all records where the name appears; the largest were “Sunset Sherbert x Purple Punch” (303), “Blue Sherbert” (230) and “Flower - Sour Banana Sherbert” (103).¹ Those extra terms can signal crosses, CBD-specific products or other naming differences, so we leave them out under our name rules.

On Oct 4, 2026, Sherbet sat in the middle of our Weedmaps set: across 27 markets checked, we counted 229 store listings for flower within 50 miles of each center, present in 19 markets and 20th of 58 strains.³

Exact-eighth comparisons were mixed: Sherbet sat above the typical other strain in New York ($40.00 versus $35.70) and Minneapolis ($51.06 versus $50.00), but below it in Chicago ($30.50 versus $43.20), Los Angeles ($23.77 versus $25.00), Las Vegas ($20.00 versus $26.25) and Detroit ($9.00 versus $16.00).³ Sherbet was cheaper than the typical other strain in four of six comparable markets and pricier in the rest.³
