The exact origins of this strain are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed variations of it. Most sources suggest it emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene, likely as a cross between popular strains that would produce colorful phenotypes. The strain gained attention for its visually striking buds that often display multiple colors simultaneously, including shades of green, purple, orange, and sometimes blue, giving it a rainbow-like appearance that inspired its name.

The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a thick coating of trichomes that contribute to its potency. The colorful expression is influenced by temperature fluctuations during cultivation, with cooler temperatures encouraging more pronounced purple and blue hues. Rainbows is characterized by a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The flavor often mirrors the aroma, with users reporting a smooth smoke that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.

Rainbows has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow due to its sensitivity to environmental conditions, particularly temperature, which affects both its color expression and overall development. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Rainbows has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its aesthetic appeal and versatile effects.
