About Double Rainbow
Double Rainbow is a sativa-dominant hybrid (Blue Dream x Northern Lights) selected for balanced effects, clear cerebral lift and dependable growth. It suits growers who want a plant that responds well to training, performs indoors or outdoors in a mild southern growing climate and delivers citrus and berry aromas over an earthy base.
Double Rainbow is a sativa-dominant hybrid that favours cerebral clarity with a steady physical calm. The variety shows vigour and reliable branching for multiple colas.
THC typically measures between 18% and 22% in tested samples, giving clear potency without being overwhelming. Select phenotypes can reach the mid-20s under disciplined feeding and light.
CBD levels are low, generally under one percent, so this strain is not used for CBD-specific therapy. Those seeking CBD benefits should combine it with CBD-rich varieties.
The genetics are Blue Dream x Northern Lights, combining sativa drive with indica stability. The cross produces predictable growth patterns and balanced cannabinoid expression.
Seeds are commonly sold feminised to ensure a crop of female plants and reduce the risk of males. Even with feminised seed, growers should monitor for hermaphrodites under stress.
Growing Double Rainbow is moderately demanding and benefits from proactive training and good airflow in a mild southern growing climate. Regular pruning and support reduce problems with damp and improve bud density.
Flowering completes typically between eight and ten weeks with most phenotypes finishing by week ten. Keep a close eye on trichome development around week nine to time harvest.
Yield is medium to high when light, nutrients and ventilation are consistent throughout the cycle. Outdoor crops can match indoor yields given a dry late summer and attentive care.
Plants reach roughly 1.2 to 2.0 m and form an open, branchy structure suited to SCROG or low-stress training. The canopy produces several evenly spaced colas rather than a single dominant leader.
Indoors Double Rainbow responds well to controlled environments and screen training in Staffordshire. Outdoors in Staffordshire it prefers a sheltered position away from persistent wind and heavy rain.
Growing Double Rainbow in Staffordshire suits the plant when you have a mild southern growing climate with good drainage and afternoon sun. Protect the crop from prolonged wet spells and provide ventilation to reduce mould risk in a mild southern growing climate.
The high starts bright and uplifting with a focused mental lift and then eases into a relaxed, sociable body feeling. It tends to remain functional rather than overly sedating for most users.
Aroma mixes bright citrus and sweet berry over an earthy, herbal base. The smoke leaves a clean citrus tang with a warm, spicy finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Double Rainbow tolerates moderate humidity but needs strong airflow and canopy management to prevent mould and bud rot.
Start with a balanced vegetative feed and shift to a bloom formula in week four of flowering, reducing nitrogen and increasing phosphorus and potassium.
Many growers perform a light flush in the final 7-10 days to improve smoothness, but monitor trichomes for optimal timing.
Use good spacing, selective defoliation, and plastic covers or shelters outdoors to limit wetting; indoors keep RH below 50% in late flower.
Yes, it performs well with organic soil and compost teas if nutrient levels are monitored and pests are managed proactively.
Yes, topping, low-stress training and SCROG increase yields by evening out the canopy and improving light penetration.
Aphids, spider mites and fungal pathogens are the main threats; regular inspections and biological controls keep populations in check.
Cooler nights can slow maturation and deepen terpene expression, but avoid prolonged cold which stresses the plant and reduces yields.
Yes, a ventilated greenhouse gives the benefits of outdoor light with added protection, though dehumidification may be required during wet spells.
For humid climate cannabis growing, focus on airflow, canopy openness and using resistant phenotypes; external shelters and careful timing of outdoor flushes are essential.
