About RS-11

RS-11 (Rainbow Sherbet #11) represents the pinnacle of modern California exotic breeding. Created by Charles of Deo Farms (Deep East Oakland) and propagated through a historic partnership with Doja Exclusive and Wizard Trees, RS-11 crosses the legendary Sunset Sherbet with Pink Guava (an elite selection from the OZ Kush project). The buds are breathtakingly vibrant: dense, triangular clusters in rich royal magenta and neon lime, completely encased in a shimmering frost of resin with amber-tipped trichomes. Its aroma is an intoxicating bouquet of tart tropical guava, sugary citrus sherbet, sweet candied cherries, and a pungent, peppery chem-gas backend. Inhaling RS-11 delivers an immediate, blissful mental clarity and buoyant euphoria that sparks animated conversation before gently descending into a profoundly relaxing, weightless physical ease.
