Sunset Paradise is a luxury scoop of the popular strain Gelato (Thin Mint GSC x Sunset Sherbert), whose fruity tones and powerful relaxation qualities has put this delicious cannabis dessert at the top of many aficionados’ menu. This version arrives in the form of a refined Paradise blend to create the ultimate antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life.
Lineage
Thin Mint GSC (formerly known as Girl Scout Cookies) is well known for its potency thanks to an explosive combination of stand out sativa and indica qualities, all wrapped up in one delicious hybrid. Sunset Sherbert is another hybrid which shares similar roots (with Durban Poison and OG Kush in the mix). As with all Paradise twists on an original strain, this one benefits from some development in the in-house breeding program to produce a plant with enhanced taste and extra kick to the potency which cannabis growers will appreciate.
Aromas and Flavours
Flowering is accompanied by an exquisite aroma of great complexity underpinned by tones of citrus, berry and lavender. Once dried, the buds exude an exquisite distinctive aroma that comes with the lavender element pushed to the foreground, deliciously blended with fruity notes of orange and raspberry, plus a bit of skunky piquancy.
The taste is a delightfully mixed palate too, delivering a hint of lavender that ushers in a fruity sweetness tinged with a hint of spiced skunk.

Outdoors: Outdoors, the more open growth pattern makes this strain a good choice for indica fans growing in more northern regions, while in warmer and sunnier zones it will naturally flourish. Cannabis growers will delight in the presentation of this plant and the all round robustness of its growth pattern.
