About Rainbow Sherbet
Rainbow Sherbet is a selected phenotype from the Sunset Sherbet family (GSC x Pink Panties), stabilized for its exceptional bag appeal — the buds display a stunning array of purple, blue, green, and orange hues — and its complex sweet, fruity, creamy terpene profile. The #11 phenotype (Rainbow Sherbet #11) was selected by Doja and Powerzzzup Genetics and became the foundation for RS-11, one of the most sought-after strains of the 2020s. Rainbow Sherbet effects are euphoric and relaxing with a balanced hybrid profile. The strain's colorful appearance and complex flavor profile helped set the standard for 'exotic' bag appeal in the modern era.
