Rambutan Strain Overview
Rambutan is a relatively rare cannabis strain named after the tropical Southeast Asian fruit of the same name, which it resembles in its spiky, colorful appearance. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known parent strains, though its exact genetic lineage and breeder information remain somewhat obscure in the cannabis community. Like its namesake fruit, Rambutan cannabis features vibrant orange and red pistils that contrast with its dense, frosty green buds, creating a visually striking appearance that has contributed to its niche popularity among connoisseurs.
The strain's effects are typically described as balanced hybrid, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Users report that Rambutan provides an initial uplifting, creative head high that gradually transitions into a calming body effect without causing excessive sedation. This makes it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on individual tolerance and dosage. The buds are known for their dense structure and heavy trichome coverage, which gives them a sticky texture and contributes to their potent effects.
Rambutan's rarity means that comprehensive information about its development history and consistent characteristics is limited. The strain appears to have emerged within the last decade, primarily through boutique breeders rather than large commercial seed banks. Its tropical name reflects both its appearance and its complex flavor profile, which combines fruity, sweet notes with earthy undertones. Due to its limited availability, Rambutan is considered a specialty strain more likely to be found in specific regional markets or through small-scale cultivators rather than in widespread commercial distribution.

Rambutan Strain Growing Information
Rambutan is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to topping and low-stress training techniques to maximize yield and light penetration.
