Rainbow Kush

Description

What Is Rainbow Kush?

Rainbow Kush is a heavily indica-dominant strain with an 85:15 indica to sativa ratio. This hybrid is often confused with the very similarly named Rainbow strain. Rainbow Kush is a cross between the legendary indica Hindu Kush, with Master Kush and Montel’s Pride. A Rainbow Kush plant is sticky to the touch and packed full of high-inducing THC. This strain is moderately potent, with an average THC level of approximately 18{de02c789bee1c1907d41c61f45163025bfc57eefd6b3dbd1b104ccf736217635}. After consuming this strain, you might feel like you’ve discovered the ‘pot’ of gold at the end of the ‘rainbow’.

Rainbow Kush is ideal for those who enjoy consuming cannabis but want to be able to function throughout their day. Unlike some indica-dominant hybrids, Rainbow Kush should not place you into a weed coma. As long as you don’t overindulge, that is!

What Rainbow Kush may do, however, is help to mellow you out, and possibly make you a little more sociable. Some consumers of this strain say that it may even help to increase your focus or make you feel more creative too.

To begin with, though, Rainbow Kush’s sativa genetics are more prominent and induce a cerebral, uplifting, and euphoric high. All in all, Rainbow Kush is a calming mood-booster. So, you can expect happy vibes followed by deep relaxation after consuming this strain.

Aroma

Mirroring its full spectrum of beautiful colors, the Rainbow Kush strain offers a wide array of fragrant aromas. It is renowned for its strong piney aroma with hints of fruity sweetness and spicy notes. You can even detect a little bit of skunk in this fragrant strain.

Flavor

The Rainbow Kush strain has a strong piney flavor, which is complemented by milder, earthier notes. Some Rainbow Kush consumers say that it has a coffee-like taste on the inhale and that it has a spicy aftertaste.

Rainbow Kush Grow Info

A Rainbow Kush plant’s grow difficulty is rated as easy to moderate. The good news is that it can be grown indoors or outdoors. Experienced Rainbow Kush growers recommend utilizing the Sea of Green method for best results.

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.

Space is an important consideration with a Rainbow Kush plant, as it can grow up to 150cm in height indoors. Outdoors, it can stretch almost a foot taller, and it can reach up to 180cm in height.

If you are growing this plant indoors, then you can expect it to flower after around eight to nine weeks. On the other hand, if you are growing this plant outdoors, then late September or early October is the ideal time of year for harvesting.

Indoors, Rainbow Kush growers may achieve a yield of up to 16 ounces per square meter. Outdoor growers could potentially see a significantly higher return of up to 26.5 ounces per square meter with this strain.
