Rain Bird
Also known as: Rain Bird F4, Rainbird F4
Rain Bird Strain Overview
Rain Bird is a carefully crafted F4 hybrid cannabis strain developed by breeder Dos Rios Dylan in collaboration with Aficionado Seed Collection. This strain represents four generations of selective breeding, resulting in exceptional genetic stability and consistency. Named after its early-finishing characteristics that allow it to be harvested before the late September rains that typically affect Northern California outdoor grows, Rain Bird was specifically designed as a production strain for commercial cultivators seeking reliable, high-quality genetics with an August harvest window. The strain features a complex lineage combining (Covelo Sour Diesel x B9) with (Forum Girl Scout Cookies x Jahgoo), where the B9 parent represents a pure Afghan landrace variety that was brought to Northern California in the early 1970s and stabilized in the Covelo area throughout the 1980s. This breeding project was undertaken by Dylan, who is also the founder of Waska, one of California's oldest edible companies, based in the Dos Rios/Covelo region. Rain Bird exhibits medium-sized plant structure with stout, resilient characteristics and exceptional frost production, making it well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments.

Rain Bird Strain Growing Information
Rain Bird F4 is considered moderately easy to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 63-70 days indoors and finishes in mid to late August for outdoor cultivation. It produces medium-sized, stout plants that respond well to LST (Low Stress Training) techniques. The strain is known for its exceptional resin production and dense bud structure. Plants require proper airflow during the bulking phase to prevent mold issues. Rain Bird is specifically bred for production row cropping and is available only as regular seeds (no feminized versions). The strain shows multiple phenotype variations, with some leaning toward citrus and pine aromatics while others display more earthy and floral characteristics. Indoor yields are reported to be generous, and the strain is extraction-friendly due to its heavy resin production.
