Black Rainbow
Black Rainbow Strain Overview
Black Rainbow is a relatively rare, modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the indica-dominant Black Domina with the sativa-dominant Rainbow. This genetic combination aims to blend the deeply relaxing, physically sedative qualities of its indica parent with the uplifting, creative, and euphoric cerebral effects of its sativa lineage. The strain emerged in the late 2010s to early 2020s, primarily within boutique and craft cultivation circles, and has not achieved widespread commercial distribution, contributing to its somewhat elusive status.
The plant's appearance is notable for its striking visual contrast. It typically produces dense, chunky buds that are dark forest green to almost black, heavily coated in a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. These dark hues are often accentuated by vibrant, fiery orange pistils, creating a 'black rainbow' aesthetic that inspired its name. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, hash-like notes from the Black Domina parent with sweeter, fruitier undertakes inherited from Rainbow.
As a balanced hybrid, Black Rainbow is known for delivering a well-rounded experience that begins with a cerebral, mood-enhancing lift before settling into a comfortable, full-body relaxation. Its potency is generally considered high, and it is often sought after by experienced users. Due to its limited availability, detailed, consistent information from large-scale testing or widespread user reports is less common than for mainstream strains.

Black Rainbow Strain Growing Information
Black Rainbow is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. The plant tends to stay of medium height, making it manageable for indoor setups, but it can stretch significantly during the early flowering stage. It prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate if grown outdoors and should be harvested before the first frost. Yields are typically average to above-average, producing dense, resinous colas. Growers should monitor humidity closely during the final weeks of flowering to prevent mold due to the bud density. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize light exposure and yield.
