Rainbow Melon is a feminised cross that pairs a melon line kept by Fast Buds with the Rainbow Chip selection from Exotic Genetix, producing a balanced plant that is half sativa and half indica. Growers can expect a flowering period of roughly eight to nine weeks, with a medium-height frame and dense, resinous colas. The scent carries the bold, distinctive character of its Rainbow Chip parent, lifted by a sweet, citrusy melon note. Once smoked, the taste is sugary and fruit-jelly like, with a lingering finish that hints at nostalgic sweets. THC is stated at 25 to 30 percent. Indoor yields are quoted at 500 to 600 grams per square metre, and outdoor plants at around 1100 grams each. Moderate climates suit this variety best, so outdoor gardeners should keep a close eye on temperature and humidity. Indoors, gentle training methods are the favoured approach to make the most of its growth potential.
