Chasing The Rainbow
Also known as: Rainbow Chaser
Chasing The Rainbow Strain Overview
Chasing The Rainbow is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to produce vibrant coloration and complex effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast breeding scene in the early 2010s, combining genetics from several popular colorful varieties. Breeders aimed to create a strain that would display the full spectrum of cannabis pigmentation while delivering balanced psychoactive effects.
The strain is particularly noted for its striking visual appearance, with buds that often display multiple colors simultaneously—deep purples, bright oranges, and lime greens—creating a rainbow-like effect that gives the strain its name. The coloration results from anthocyanin pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance.
Chasing The Rainbow has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators for its aesthetic appeal and versatile effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain represents a trend in modern cannabis breeding toward cultivars that combine visual appeal with specific effect profiles, though comprehensive historical documentation remains limited compared to more established varieties.

Chasing The Rainbow Strain Growing Information
Chasing The Rainbow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors when given adequate space. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 1.5-2 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant. To encourage the vibrant coloration that gives this strain its name, growers should expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure to lower branches.
