Rainbow kush strain

RAINBOW KUSH STRAIN 

Rainbow kush; rainbow colored cannabis strain might sound just too good to be true, but Rainbow Kush manages to bring the impossible into reality with its glimmering shades that derive straight from Mother Nature and act as living evidence to just how profound she can be. Derived from the brilliant Spanish breeders over at Lifetime Seeds, they somehow managed to produce this masterpiece which has grown in popularity not only for its brilliant display of picture-perfect shades, but also due to its potent medicinal highand deliciously sweet yet fruity and piney flavor.

With the entire spectrum of rainbow pigments appearing near the time of flowering, watching the growing process of this strain is equally as magical because it suddenly transforms from plain shades of classic “cannabis green,” to a magnificent display of sheer vibrance.

What Is Rainbow Kush?:

Categorized as a 50/50 indica and sativa strain, this hybrid is actually a well-balanced and medicinal option, developed in Spain by Lifetime Seeds through the process of crossing Dancehall hybrid with Blueberry indica. Sticky to the touch and packed full of high-inducing THC, you do not have to search somewhere over the rainbow to find a marijuana option as magical as this one.

Although not available at all dispensaries throughout North America, some pot shops have been carrying Rainbow Kush, and this cannabis has also grown to become a regular at many different Amsterdam coffee shops. Even if not the strongest strain on the market, ranking in at just above average with a 17% THC content and 1% CBD content, other aspects make up for Rainbow Kush’s only slightly above average potency.

One important thing to note, even if this marijuana is beautiful and stunningly colorful, is that pictures you’ll find on the internet do not accurately represent its actual appearance. For example, many of them have been edited and enhanced to make Rainbow Kush appear better than it actually is in real life. Nevertheless, it is still a stunning strain – just don’t be surprised if what shows up in your jar isn’t like what you have seen on the internet.

Rainbow Kush Aroma, Flavor and Appearance:

Notorious for its pine smell that features hints of fruity sweetness and even a little bit of skunk, Rainbow Kush’s scent is pungent and can usually be noticed as soon as the container its buds are in is opened. With that being said, many consumers of this marijuana strain love its smell, sometimes even coming back for more specifically because of this factor.

Also, the flavor is sometimes similar although new elements can often be detected depending on growing conditions, specific genetics of the strain, etc. Because of its Blueberry genetic influence, RK can be reminiscent of a fruity or even berry-like flavor, with some of the earthy pine mixed in. Its flavor definitely impacts the taste buds in a pleasant manner, along with being especially satisfying. The aftertaste from the smoke can feel coffee-like or even spicy, developing a unique blend of flavors and an outlandish taste profile.

Appearance-wise Rainbow Kush is quite sticky to the touch, with plenty of glimmering crystals coating the magnificent, rainbow buds. Much as the name implies, the sugar leaves are various shades that are an incredible sight to see, although like we said maybe not exactly like the enhanced images you’ve seen on the internet. The leaves are present in shades of fiery and warm oranges, reds, pinks and yellows, with other patches appearing as cool-toned blues, greens, purples and even hints of white.

Certainly one of the most colorful cannabis types available in the world, the plant itself is of a medium to tall stature, with few leaves that branch out. This makes the growing experience a bit neat because the crop itself isn’t always in serious need of trimming. Also, the buds themselves are dense and pack a punch, typically growing a bit longer than some of the more “circular” flowers you can discover on the market.

Rainbow Kush Grow Info:

Quite simple for cultivators to grow, Rainbow Kush is a fast developing marijuana strain which makes it that much more pleasant to plant in the ground. Typically requiring about 7-9 weeks to be ready for harvest (also known as its flowering period), the seeds you can purchase are mostly all bud-producing females, which keeps the process of picking out the males from the bunch less high maintenance.

Additionally, this allows you to run less of a risk of your entire crop being ruined by one of those pesky male plants. Growing medium to tall in height (at least for a hybrid), Rainbow Kush needs plenty of care and nutrients to grow steadily, but in the end if done correctly, the beautiful, colorful buds will be more than worth the effort. The best types of nutrient fertilizers to utilize with this marijuana include bat guano, feather meal, soft rock phosphate, natural potash, steamed bone meal and sea kelp. Other options of course work as well, but these seem to do a lot for this specific strain type.

In terms of water needs, this plant requires a lot of water (as is typical of most pot strains) and it’s important to keep the alkalinity levels up to ensure “crop happiness” and health. Capable of being cultivated both indoors and outdoors, the SOG or Sea of Green method has proven to be the most successful at maximizing RK plant growth and yields.

These plants can grow about 4 feet in height in some circumstances, so if you do intend to cultivate indoors, keep this height in mind when finding the right location for growing. Heavy yielding, indoor grows can expect somewhere on average of 25 ounces per meter squared, while outdoor grows can expect around 26 ounces per plant.

Rainbow Kush Effects:

An ideal option for those who enjoy consuming cannabis yet still want to be able to function and go throughout their day, Rainbow Kush will not place you into a weed coma. However, it can certainly mellow you out and induce focus and social desire, which makes for the perfect blend when you want to spend some time with other humans in a relaxed get-together environment, or if you’re ready to produce some art and regain a spark of creativity.

The well-balanced genetics express themselves equally as much, with the indica elements causing a mild body melt and muscle tingling, and the sativa aspects producing some cerebral effects that could get you thinking and pondering about your life and the world around you. All in all, Rainbow Kush is a calming mood booster, so expect positive times and happy vibes after you’ve taken a few hits of this medicinal stuff.

Medical Benefits of Rainbow Kush:

Rainbow Kush does not only appeal to the senses, but it also serves a deeper, more meaningful purpose. This hybrid strain is quite capable of assisting many who need help managing certain medical conditions and ailments. Those who regularly experience nausea, lack of appetite, chronic pain, back aches, migraines/headaches and muscle cramps could discover relief with the help of RK. Furthermore, this cannabis type washes away social anxiety, general anxiety, depression, stress and worries, without causing its consumer to become overly high or feel out of control.

Possible Side Effects of Rainbow Kush:

As with most marijuana strains, Rainbow Kush does carry some mild possible side effects, particularly dry eyes and dry mouth (cottonmouth). Cottonmouth is easily manageable with just a little extra preparation and planning – by drinking plenty of water before, during and after your high, dry mouth can quickly subside. Also, staying hydrated also helps to keep away the possibility of dehydration, which means a slimmer chance of developing a headache or experiencing any next-day grogginess.

By purchasing moisturizing eye drops before your consumption of this marijuana strain, you can avoid experiencing dry eyes and have them become a problem of the past. Eye drops can be purchased at basically any local drug store, and they should be a cannabis consumer’s staple product because many types of weed can generate dry or irritated eyes. Other than these two minimal side effects, though, there are not many other adverse effects reported from those who have consumed Rainbow Kush.
