Strain Description:

Rotten Rainbow is a unique hybrid that combines tropical fruit funk with intense candy gas character, making it one of the most exotic flavour profiles in the Grateful Seeds lineup. Pinepaya, a cross of Pineapple Madness and Papaya, contributes a fermented, metallic, rotten fruit aroma, while RS11 brings a creamy, candy-like gelato essence with sherb gas undertones. Together, they create a multi-layered experience where sharp, putrid tropical notes meet smooth dessert-like sweetness. Around 30% of phenotypes lean more RS11-dominant with mid-sized, multi-branched plants and increased candy sherb nuances, while the larger phenotypes often show extreme resin production with a supreme blend of rotten fruit and sweet gelato. With medium-tall growth, explosive yields, and outstanding resin quality, Rotten Rainbow is particularly attractive for hash makers and extract enthusiasts.


Growing Information:

Rotten Rainbow is a vigorous, medium-tall strain that performs exceptionally well in both indoor and outdoor environments. It has a flowering time of 50–60 days (7–8.5 weeks), making it one of the faster resin-rich hybrids available. Plants develop strong lateral branching and dense, trichome-covered buds that can become quite heavy, so support is recommended to manage the weight and maintain structure. Resin production is well above expectations, making this strain ideal for hash production and solventless extraction. To maximise its already high yield and resin output, growers are advised to ensure good airflow and humidity control, as well as to employ training techniques such as SCROG and low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and overall bud development.


Flavour and Aromas:

Rotten Rainbow delivers one of the most complex aromatic profiles in modern breeding, blending intense rotten fruit funk with smooth, creamy candy notes. The aroma opens with fermented, metallic, putrid papaya, followed by exotic tropical fruit tones and sour gas undertones. Sweet, candy-like gelato and sherb creaminess from RS11 add a rich dessert character. On the palate, sharp rotten fruit funk with citrusy overtones hits first, moving into sweet, creamy sherb and gelato mid-palate, before finishing with lingering sour gas and tropical candy on the exhale. This intense, layered combination translates seamlessly into both flower and concentrate form.


Strain Lineage:

Pinepaya (Pineapple Madness x Papaya) – A tropical fruit-forward hybrid rich in rotten tropical fruit funk with a metallic, fermented aroma. It brings heavy resin production, great hash-washing returns, and strong, vigorous growth with high yields.

RS11 – One of the most sought-after modern strains, known for its creamy candy-gelato profile, sherb gas character, and impressive resin quality. RS11 enhances sweetness, dessert-like terpenes, and yield, making it an ideal extraction parent.


Effects:

Rotten Rainbow offers an uplifting, creative and euphoric experience paired with a mellow, relaxing body effect. The onset is typically bright and mood-enhancing, stimulating creativity and focus while the body high remains calm and manageable. As the session continues, the mellow body relaxation balances the cerebral uplift, making it suitable for both daytime inspiration and unwinding later in the day without becoming overly sedative.


Strain Summary:

Rotten Rainbow is a top-tier hybrid for growers and extractors seeking exotic, high-yielding genetics with outrageous terpene expression and exceptional resin content. Combining metallic, putrid papaya funk with sweet candy-sherb gas, it delivers a distinctive flavour profile that stands out in both flower and concentrates. With medium to tall stature, strong lateral branching, huge yields, and extreme resin production, it is an excellent choice for hash makers, flavour chasers, and anyone looking for a truly unique and powerful hybrid.
