October 6, 2023 | Elyxr's Blog

Rainbow Punch is one of those special 50/50 hybrids that packs a punch in terms of effects and flavor, and its lineage tells you what a special strain it truly is. A long-time favorite both for medicinal and recreational use, it’s a super sought-after bud, and its value on the market is immeasurable. So, if you really wanna taste the rainbow, and get a “punch” of knowledge in the process, then simply read on.

Rainbow Punch Basics

With a name like Rainbow Punch, you might envision a strain with a THC level so high that it knocks you out, but that’s actually not the case. Its modest 17%-21% THC is definitely not weak by any means, but it’s below average considering the ongoing trend of 25% and higher that we see on today’s market. This 50/50 hybrid offers that perfect sativa and indica balance, and even comes from crossing Purple Punch with Zkittlez Wood – two very popular parents, as a sidenote.

Bud Characteristics

Rainbow Punch has oversized, fluffy buds that are shaped like juicy grapes, and a deep forest green color that’s pretty distinctive. It has undertones of rich purple, and a coating of very thin orange hairs. The layer of thin trichome crystals gives the buds a lavender shimmer, and a very thick layer of sticky resin adds a syrupy quality.

Growing Rainbow Punch Seeds

Rainbow Punch has the option of being grown either indoors or outdoors. The plant can grow up to 60 inches, and it takes around 60 days to flower (between 54 and 63). Expect each plant to yield up to 400g of weed.

Flavor & Aroma

In terms of flavor and aroma, you already have a good idea of what to expect if you’re familiar with the parents of this cultivar. In terms of the aroma, you’ll be treated to lush, juicy cherries that are distinctively sweet, along with rich, sour berry notes that balance things out. You’ll also notice a hint of spiciness that leans toward diesel. The flavor profile is no different, except the cherry is much more prominent, and you’ll get some earthy and woodsy undertones.

Rainbow Punch Uses and Effects

Rainbow Punch is a strain that’s recommended for all kinds of therapeutic needs on the medicinal market, and it seems to be a specifically helpful strain for people who have glaucoma, due to a high presence of chemical compounds that can relieve pressure in the eye. It’s also recommended for chronic pain patients, as its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties come together to offer a surprising amount of relief. The strain is great for people who have fatigue, because it can offer a feeling of being energized and motivated, while increasing alertness and focus. Its antispasmodic properties, meanwhile, can alleviate muscle spasms.

Rainbow Punch is a fantastic strain for those who could use a mood boost. Its euphoria-inducing properties come with a serious dose of ‘the giggles’, which can really uplift your state of mind. Its THC level is moderate, which is good for people with an intermediate tolerance to THC, who want to feel a nice, substantial ‘high’, but don’t want to be knocked out by a feeling of being intensely stoned. Overall, it’s a fantastic daytime and after-work strain.

What Can You Expect When Taking Rainbow Punch?

Let’s get right to the good part – the ‘high’ itself, which absolutely doesn’t let you down. It’s a fast-hitting strain that gives you an incredibly strong burst of cerebral tingling within a few minutes of exhaling, and the area between your eyes will be positively buzzing, as a warm wave of good energy rushes into the chest. This is a super giddy strain, so expect to feel totally optimistic and uplifted, like nothing in the world can let you down. It’s a strain that makes people burst into fits of giggles too, so it’s perfect for when you’re watching your favorite comedy, or when you’re hanging out with friends.

The euphoric energy never wavers, instead providing you with a sense of emotional weightlessness for the duration of a couple of hours. While you feel totally at ease and invincible, a warm and tingly rush wraps around every muscle, giving you a sense of physical wellbeing that just adds to the good vibes that you’re treated to courtesy of Rainbow Punch. It’s all about good times with this one, and while the body high can get a bit heavier from time to time, it shouldn’t knock you out at any point.
