About Rainbow Belts
Rainbow Belts was created by Compound Genetics by crossing Rainbow Sherbet with Zkittlez. The strain takes the already impressive fruity-creamy profile of Rainbow Sherbet and amplifies it with the intense candy sweetness of Zkittlez. The result is a strain with a rainbow of flavors — berry, citrus, tropical fruit, cream, and gas — that genuinely tastes like a handful of fruity candy belts. The buds are dense and colorful with purple and green hues and a heavy trichome coat. Rainbow Belts effects are balanced and euphoric with a long-lasting, happy high. The strain was released as part of Compound Genetics' early 2020s lineup and the Rainbow Belts 3.0 version became the definitive expression.

History
Compound Genetics released Rainbow Belts as part of their early 2020s seed lineup and it quickly became one of their most popular cultivars. The Rainbow Belts 3.0 version was widely considered the peak expression of the genetics. The strain's candy-forward terpene profile was extremely influential, pushing the boundaries of how sweet and fruit-forward cannabis could taste. Rainbow Belts was widely imitated by other breeders and its genetics were used in numerous subsequent crosses. The strain remains one of Compound Genetics' flagship offerings.
