Double Rainbow Strain: Lineage, Effects and Flavour

Double Rainbow Strain: Lineage, Effects and Flavour
A note from Steven De Guzman

More than one breeder sells a Double Rainbow, so expect differences between batches: Leafly reviewers report grape, blueberry and diesel, while another strain database lists citrus, berry and mango. Berry is the common thread, so look for it when you open the jar.

What is Double Rainbow?

Double Rainbow is sold as a hybrid, but more than one breeder uses the name, so the lineage depends on whose version you have. SeedFinder lists a Makena Genetics Double Rainbow bred from Rainbow Guava (itself Rainbow Belts x Strawberry Guava) and Rainbow Belts 2.0, and a Holy Smoke Seeds version bred from Rainbow Belts and Strawberry Cane. Weedmaps lists Sherbet and Rainbow Chip as parents, in a description it says was generated automatically from product data.

The labels differ too. Leafly files Double Rainbow as a hybrid, though its short description calls it indica-dominant, and Weedmaps files it as a hybrid while its description calls it an indica. SeedFinder lists the Holy Smoke version as an indica/sativa cross. The guide to what indica, sativa and hybrid labels really mean explains why these tags often disagree.

Look, smell and taste

Holy Smoke Seeds says its version grows big, dense buds with pink to purple hues and calls it a hash monster with plenty of resin to wash. Makena Genetics' own short description, as listed on SeedFinder, reads guava, candy and washer, a term for strains that give a good return when washed into hash.

On flavour, Leafly reviewers most often pick grape, diesel and blueberry, and Leafly lists caryophyllene, humulene and limonene as the main terpenes. The flavours reported on Weedmaps are citrus and flowery, and its description mentions berry and mango with a tangy, sour finish.

Effects people report

Leafly's listing rests on only 25 ratings, so treat it as a rough picture: reviewers most often report feeling energetic, euphoric and relaxed, and Leafly rates the strain as mostly energizing. Weedmaps' summary of product descriptions centres on relaxation and uplift with euphoric, energetic and creative notes, while Holy Smoke Seeds describes its version as a balanced but strong stone.

The downsides Leafly users mention are dry mouth and dizziness. Start with a small amount, and do not drive afterwards: Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines advise waiting at least 6 hours.

How strong is Double Rainbow?

Leafly lists about 20% THC and 1% CBG and rates Double Rainbow above average for THC. None of the other sources gives a figure, and with several versions sold under one name, potency will vary from batch to batch, so check the label on the product.

Similar strains

Rainbow Belts is the common thread: it is a parent of the Holy Smoke version and sits on both sides of the Makena cross. SeedFinder traces Rainbow Belts back to Zkittlez (spelled Zkittles there) and Moonbow, and the Strawberry Cane parent of the Holy Smoke version comes from Strawberry StarDawg and Slurricane.

Buying Double Rainbow

The menu box on this page shows whether Double Rainbow is on the GasDank menu right now; if it is not, it lists in-stock hybrid flower instead. Whatever you choose, look for a lab-tested batch with clear THC and CBD numbers and flower that looks and smells fresh. Same-day delivery covers Toronto and the GTA, usually within 1 to 2 hours, and mail order ships across Canada; customers must be 19 or older (21 in Quebec), with ID checked. You can also browse all hybrid flower.
