Rancid Rainbow is an indica-leaning hybrid that crosses Rainbow Sherbet #11 with Rancid Skunk, and despite the name, there's nothing rotten about what's coming out of the jar. The original breeder hasn't been firmly established, though Farmer's Cut is one cultivator associated with the strain. The nose comes out swinging with lemon cleaner and gasoline, backed by pineapple and a dirty streak of skunky funk. The flavor keeps the gas burning while pulling in sour berries, sweet fruit, citrus, and skunk. Dark, dense flowers round out the package beneath a heavy coat of trichomes.
Around the smoke circle, Rancid Rainbow earns its name on the way down, starting with a soaring, euphoric head change before the heavier side comes crashing into the limbs. Fans call out a hazy, carefree calm followed by the kind of deep relaxation that can turn whatever you sat down on into the evening's final destination. With flower regularly landing in the mid-20% THC range and some batches pushing higher, this rainbow can hit harder than the candy-coated name suggests.
