Rainbow Chip

Imagine crossing two titans of the cannabis world and ending up with a genetic masterpiece. That is Rainbow Chip, the fruit of a cross between Sunset Sherbert and Mint Chocolate Chip, created by Exotic Genetix.

Part of the 2018 Mint Chocolate Chip line-up, Rainbow Chip inherits the terpene influence and vigorous growth of its father, Mint Chocolate Chip, blended with the sweet touch of Sunset Sherbert.

The result is an indescribably delicious flavour and a strain that stands out for its perfect balance between sativa and indica (50 %/50 %), promising a unique experience for any hybrid lover.

Flowering time

For growers, Rainbow Chip is a joy to watch, with a flowering time of 56 to 63 days. Outdoors, it is ready to harvest around the second week of October, ideal if you like to plan your grow precisely.

Feminised and well suited to indoor conditions, this plant guarantees an all-female crop, simplifying the process and delivering yields of up to 450 g per square metre indoors.

Its dense, medium-sized buds are forest green with layers of purple, topped with opaque crystals that give them a creamy look and decorated with short, curly amber hairs.

Best suited to humid, fairly warm conditions, Rainbow Chip responds well to regular pruning, which may suit growers with a little more experience.

Even so, it is accessible to beginners, promising a growing journey as rewarding as the harvest itself.

With THC levels of 20-22 % and CBD of around 1-2 %, it is a popular choice for anyone looking for a balanced experience that is both uplifting and relaxing.
