Rainbows At Night 4
Zkittlez-type × Rainbow Sherbet-type × OG Kush-type × Night Terror OG-type
Rainbows At Night #4 is an indica-leaning hybrid phenotype celebrated for its distinct sensory profile. It balances vibrant candy-fruit top notes with a deeper, more grounded aroma of earth and spice. This strain is recognized for its potent effects and visually appealing appearance.
Appearance
Rainbows At Night #4 typically presents with medium-dense, conical flower structures characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, allowing for clean trimming. The buds often exhibit deep green hues that can transition into shades of plum and violet, particularly under cooler late-flowering temperatures. Prominent orange to auburn pistils weave through a dense coating of white trichomes, creating a striking visual contrast.
A notable feature is its abundant trichome coverage, with mature, bulbous gland heads contributing to a high-resin content. This dense frosting gives the cured buds a glistening, almost lacquered appearance. Even without extreme color variations, the buds maintain a vibrant, appealing look.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Rainbows at Night #4 initially presents with pronounced sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of candy and fruit chews, including hints of berry and citrus. This bright opening is quickly complemented by a more complex base layer of black pepper, resinous pine, and subtle floral undertones, often described as lavender. Upon grinding, these aromatics intensify significantly.
The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, delivering a bright inhale of citrus-candy and berry sherbet. The exhale introduces nuances of pink grapefruit, pine resin, and a distinct peppery spice. Proper curing is essential, as overly dry conditions can diminish the candy-like sweetness and emphasize the spicier, piney notes.
Effects
Rainbows at Night #4 is generally described as providing relaxing effects that are well-suited for evening use. Users often report a sense of calm and a tendency towards couch-lock, indicating a potent, body-focused experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests with THC content ranging from 18-24%, with minimal CBD presence (<1%). The terpene profile is often characterized by a blend that includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, supported by Pinene and Humulene. This combination contributes to its complex aromatic and flavor profile, as well as its reported effects.
Origins & Lineage
Rainbows at Night #4 is a specific phenotype, designated as '#4', selected from a breeding program. While exact parentage is not definitively documented, it is widely believed to be a cross between a candy-forward strain, such as those in the Zkittlez or Rainbow Sherbet family, and a darker, more nocturnal-leaning lineage like OG Kush or Night Terror OG. This hybridization is thought to account for its dual aromatic and flavor characteristics.
The '#4' designation signifies it as a keeper cut chosen for superior qualities like resin density, visual appeal, and a balanced terpene profile. It has circulated primarily as a clone-only offering in connoisseur circles, contributing to its somewhat rare status.
Growing
Cultivators often select the #4 phenotype for its desirable growing traits, including good resin production and a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio. It is generally reported to have a flowering time of approximately 63–67 days indoors. The plant structure is noted to have OG-like stacking characteristics with Z-adjacent aromatic potential.
Growers suggest that cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage can enhance its color expression, leading to vibrant purple and violet hues. Its high trichome saturation makes it suitable for high-quality extraction processes like live rosin and BHO.
