Growing Tips & Our Take
Rainbow is a resilient strain that can adapt well to both indoor and outdoor environments, but it truly shines with a bit of extra care. We’ve found that this strain thrives in warm, sunny climates, where it can soak up plenty of natural light, producing dense, colorful buds. It also responds exceptionally well to pruning, which helps maximize its yield potential in smaller grow spaces. Indoors, Rainbow needs close attention to nutrients, as it has high nutritional requirements to reach its full potential, especially during the flowering phase when it can double in size.
This strain has a good resistance to pests and common diseases, which makes it a solid choice for both beginners and seasoned growers looking for a low-maintenance, yet rewarding strain. While it is moderately easy to grow, careful monitoring and adjusting of nutrient levels will bring out the best results. Rainbow is truly a standout in any garden, not just for its yield, but for the striking colors it brings to each grow.
