Rainbow Candy Auto turns the grow room into a candy shop. Growers Choice crossed Dosidos with Zkittlez, and the aroma during growth shifts away from typical cannabis smell toward sweet, fruity candy, which makes it an unusual plant to share a tent with.
Genetically it is strongly Indica-dominant at 80% Indica / 20% Sativa, yet the breeder notes a surprisingly uplifting character. With 24–26% THC, it carries plenty of weight behind the sweetness.
Plants stay compact at 70–110 cm (28–43 in) indoors and 90–110 cm (35–43 in) outdoors. Growers Choice lists indoor yields of 650–750 g/m² (2.13–2.46 oz/ft²) and outdoor yields of 100–200 g (3.5–7.1 oz) per plant.
Flavor and Effects of Rainbow Candy Auto
Zkittlez drives the flavor with a burst of fruity, sugary candy, while Dosidos adds a smoother, slightly earthy and floral base. The fruit notes stay fresh rather than cloying.
Each pull tastes like a handful of mixed fruit chews: sweet up front, tangy in the middle and soft on the finish.
Despite the heavy Indica percentage, the high begins with an uplifting, mood-brightening lift. The Dosidos side then settles in with a calm, comfortable body feel, giving a well-rounded experience that works for relaxed afternoons or easy evenings.
The buds themselves are compact and sugar-coated, carrying the Dosidos frost that makes them sparkle under the lights. Expect the candy aroma to intensify in the final weeks of flower, so plan airflow and odor control accordingly.
Growing Rainbow Candy Auto Indoors and Outdoors
Rainbow Candy Auto flowers automatically, so keep lights on 18/6 or 20/4 from germination to harvest. Growers Choice lists about 10 weeks indoors for the full cycle, which makes it one of the faster autos in the catalog.
Its compact Indica frame suits small tents and grow boxes. Use light LST in weeks two to four to open the canopy and encourage even bud sites, and avoid topping on such a short cycle. Outdoors, it handles warm and cold climates and has high mold resistance. Because the candy aroma is strong, a carbon filter is worth having indoors.
Indoors, a few plants per square meter under strong LED light can reach the listed 650–750 g/m² (2.13–2.46 oz/ft²), and the quick turnaround makes it easy to run back-to-back harvests. Outdoors, plants stay at 90–110 cm (35–43 in), which keeps them discreet on a balcony or patio. Sow in late spring for a summer harvest, or run a second crop if the climate allows. Dry the buds slowly to keep the candy terpenes vivid.
