Rainbow Sorbet
Also known as: Rainbow Sherbet, Rainbow Sorbet Sherbet
Rainbow Sorbet Strain Overview
Rainbow Sorbet is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Sunset Sherbet and Rainbow Chip. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s from breeders seeking to combine the dessert-like qualities of Sunset Sherbet with the colorful expression and potency of Rainbow Chip. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant array of colors. Deep purple hues often dominate the foliage, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. The color variation, which can include shades of green, purple, and sometimes blue, contributes to its 'rainbow' namesake. The buds typically have a compact, indica-dominant structure despite the strain's balanced genetic heritage.
Rainbow Sorbet is recognized for its complex terpene profile that produces a distinctive aroma and flavor combination. The scent often features sweet berry and citrus notes with underlying earthy and diesel undertones. When consumed, users typically experience a flavor reminiscent of its namesake dessert, with sweet berry and tropical fruit notes followed by a creamy, smooth finish. The strain's balanced effects make it suitable for various times of day, though some users may find it more appropriate for evening use due to its relaxing properties.

Rainbow Sorbet Strain Growing Information
Rainbow Sorbet is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the color expression. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Rainbow Sorbet prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Some phenotypes may require additional support for branches during late flowering due to heavy bud development.
