Rainbow Cherry delivers sweet cherry and herbal pine flavor with a potent 24% THC sativa dominant high that keeps you creative, focused, and uplifted without heavy sedation.

Rainbow Cherry Strain Overview

Rainbow Cherry, also known as Rainbows and Cherries or simply “Raincherry,” is a sativa-dominant hybrid that has quickly become a standout favorite for its deliciously sweet flavor and uplifting, creative effects. Bred by the legendary Cresco Labs, this strain is the result of a rare and exotic genetic cross between Cherry Thai and Rainbow SS OG, making it one of the most unique offerings in the Illinois cannabis market.

The strain is named after its colorful appearance and fruity flavor profile. Rainbow refers to the vibrant mix of gold, purple, and light green hues that burst from the dense buds, while Cherry captures the sweet, fruity cherry notes that define the taste.

Rainbow Cherry is a daytime strain. It works best in the morning or early afternoon when you need a creative boost, focused energy, and an uplifted mood without the heavy sedation. If you are looking for a flavorful, potent sativa that delivers euphoric, productive vibes, Rainbow Cherry is worth your attention.

Rainbow Cherry Strain Genetics and Lineage

Rainbow Cherry was bred by Cresco Labs, a legendary cultivator known for producing some of the most sought-after strains in the cannabis industry. The genetic cross brings together two powerhouse parents.

Parent Strain	Type	Contribution
Cherry Thai	Hybrid	Sweet cherry and fruity flavor, uplifting effects
Rainbow SS OG	Hybrid	Complex terpene profile, colorful buds, balanced effects

The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid, roughly 70% sativa and 30% indica. The standard Rainbow Cherry cut delivers a well-rounded, uplifting experience with dense, dark green buds that showcase stunning hues of gold, purple, and light green, making it as visually appealing as it is flavorful.

Note: Rainbow Cherry is sometimes confused with Rainbow Lemon Cherry, which is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) created by crossing Lemon Cherry Gelato and Rainbow Sherbet #11.

THC Content and Potency

Rainbow Cherry is a high potency strain. HushHerb’s Rainbow Cherry tests at 24% THC, verified by third-party lab testing. Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) so you know exactly what you are getting. THC levels for this strain typically range from 22% to 25% depending on the grower and phenotype.

CBD content is negligible, typically under 1%. Rainbow Cherry is a THC focused strain. The energetic effects come from the sativa genetics, not from CBD.

Heads up for newer users: At 24% THC, Rainbow Cherry is a high potency strain best suited for consumers with some experience. If you are newer to cannabis, starting with a milder flower option is a better move. One small puff and a 15 minute wait is the right approach if you do want to try it.

Rainbow Cherry Strain Aroma and Flavor Profile

Rainbow Cherry delivers one of the most delicious and complex flavor profiles in modern cannabis. The combination of sweet, fruity cherries, fresh herbs, pine, and wood is smooth, loud, and unforgettable. One reviewer described the flavor as “strawberries and rainbows,” noting it is “very smooth” and “off the charts” for taste. Another reviewer called it “one of the best that I’ve tried.” Leafly’s terpene research confirms that caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene are the dominant terpenes in Rainbow Cherry.

Terpene	Flavor Contribution
Caryophyllene	Spicy, peppery, relaxing
Limonene	Citrus, lemon, bright
Humulene	Woody, earthy, hoppy

When you open a bag of Rainbow Cherry, here is what you will notice:

Nose (before grinding): Sweet, fruity cherries with a complex layer of fresh herbs and pine trees. Very inviting and nostalgic.

Ground: The sweetness intensifies. Notes of herbal pine and wood come forward. A subtle spicy undertone appears underneath.

Taste (smoked or vaped): Sweet fruity cherries on the inhale. Herbal pine and woody notes on the exhale. The finish is smooth with a lingering fruity sweetness.

Rainbow Cherry is a loud, flavorful strain. The sweet cherry and herbal notes dominate, while the pine and wood add complexity. To get the most out of the flavor, use a clean grinder.

Rainbow Cherry Strain Effects

Rainbow Cherry is known for being creative, focused, and uplifting. The experience starts with a rush of euphoria that sparks creativity and concentration before settling into a clear-headed, productive groove.

The onset (first 5 to 10 minutes): A wave of euphoria hits behind your eyes and spreads through your head. Mental fog clears. You feel creative, focused, and happy. One reviewer described it as “energetic, uplifted, focused” with “no paranoia or anxiety.”

The peak (30 to 90 minutes in): The effects settle into a productive groove. Your mind feels sharp and creative. Your body feels relaxed but not heavy. You can work, socialize, or tackle your to-do list with ease. One reviewer noted it is “the one right here” for a “mood booster that will make you want to get stuff done.”

The comedown (2 to 3 hours in): Energy levels fade gradually. Most users feel tired at a normal hour if they consumed earlier in the day. There is no crash, just a smooth return to baseline.

Rainbow Cherry is perfect for creative sessions, productivity, or just turning a regular day into something better. Have your edibles on standby if you want to extend the experience.
