Rainbow Stank
Also known as: Rainbow Stank OG
Rainbow Stank Strain Overview
Rainbow Stank is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two prominent parent strains to create a balanced hybrid with distinctive aromatic qualities. While its exact origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, most sources attribute its development to boutique breeders in California who sought to combine the colorful visual appeal of Rainbow strains with the pungent, skunky aroma characteristic of classic 'stank' varieties.
The strain is noted for its visually striking appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a spectrum of colors ranging from deep purple and violet to bright green and orange. The colorful presentation is complemented by a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Rainbow Stank typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, though the effects tend to be more balanced between cerebral and physical sensations.
Rainbow Stank has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain's name accurately reflects its two most notable characteristics: the colorful visual presentation of the cured buds and the intensely pungent, skunky aroma that develops during flowering and curing. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, Rainbow Stank has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users who appreciate its unique combination of aesthetic appeal and potent effects.

Rainbow Stank Strain Growing Information
Rainbow Stank is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants in optimal conditions can produce substantial harvests.
The plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should provide adequate vertical space as the plants can stretch during the flowering phase. Rainbow Stank prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. The strain is somewhat sensitive to mold and pests, so proper airflow and pest management are important considerations.
Special growing considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions, particularly during the flowering phase when the distinctive aromas develop. The pungent smell requires adequate odor control measures for indoor grows. Some phenotypes may display more vibrant colors when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen-rich fertilizers.
