Midnight Rainbow
Midnight Rainbow Strain Overview
Midnight Rainbow is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. Breeders reportedly created Midnight Rainbow by crossing two popular strains to combine their desirable characteristics, though the specific parentage varies depending on the breeder's account. The name reflects the strain's distinctive visual appearance and its effects that some users describe as transitioning through different phases.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically feature deep purple and dark green hues with vibrant orange pistils, creating a visual contrast that inspired the 'rainbow' portion of its name. The trichome coverage is usually generous, giving the buds a frosty appearance that catches light. Midnight Rainbow plants tend to be medium in height with a branching structure that requires some training for optimal light exposure.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics. Due to its relative rarity, Midnight Rainbow is not widely available in commercial markets and is more commonly found through specialty growers or in specific regional markets. The strain's genetics are not stabilized across all sources, leading to some variation in characteristics between different growers' versions.

Midnight Rainbow Strain Growing Information
Midnight Rainbow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with cannabis cultivation. 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 northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. Plants typically reach a medium height of 1.2 to 1.8 meters. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the strain can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
