Also known as: Rainbow Marshmallow
Rainbow Marshmallows Strain Overview
Rainbow Marshmallows is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular cultivars: Rainbow Chip and Moonbow. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the "dessert strain" trend, where breeders focused on creating varieties with sweet, confectionery-like aromas and flavors. The strain gained attention primarily through online cannabis communities and boutique growers before becoming more widely available through select seed banks and dispensaries.
The strain's appearance is particularly distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds that display a vibrant array of colors ranging from deep purple and forest green to bright orange and occasional blue hues. These colorful buds are typically covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a marshmallow-like appearance that inspired the name. The visual presentation is often enhanced by bright orange pistils that weave through the bud structure, creating a striking contrast against the darker foliage.
Rainbow Marshmallows is noted for its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity, and creamy notes. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Rainbow Marshmallows has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique sensory characteristics and well-rounded effects. The strain remains somewhat rare compared to more established varieties, with availability varying significantly by region.

Rainbow Marshmallows Strain Growing Information
Rainbow Marshmallows is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent warmth and low humidity. Plants tend to reach medium height, staying relatively compact indoors but potentially stretching more outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds, careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, and providing adequate support for branches during the flowering stage as buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
