Rainbow Sherbert #11

A collaborative project by cannabis brand Doja Pak, Rainbow Sherbert #11 is an indica-dominant hybrid that exudes cherry and berry flavors alongside hints of pine and earth. Also known as RS11 or RS-11, this strain is a favorite among medicinal users for its deep body stone and subtle waves of cerebral stimulation. Strain History of Rainbow Sherbert #11RS11 was originally released by Doja Pak, a modern cannabis brand started by Ryan Bartholomew.

The Californian local has been quietly building cult-brand status since the state first legalized cannabis for adult use. In the case of RS11, the strain was a partnership launched via the Doja Pak brand, but bred by Deep East and grown by Wizard Trees. Much of the hype for RS11 stems from Doja’s commitment to genetic development and pheno-hunting—both crucial factors in producing cutting-edge cultivars.

At the same time, Doja prides himself on keeping the marketing of strains simple, with minimalist designs and packaging. So, when RS11 started gaining traction, it wasn’t the result of influencer hype or extensive marketing campaigns. Genetic Lineage of Rainbow Sherbert #11The spectrum of fruity flavors that accompany hits of RS11 are the direct result of its parent strains: Pink Guava and OZK.

First up is Pink Guava, a highly potent hybrid that strikes a perfect balance between indica and sativa genetics. While the strain's original parents are unknown, it’s believed to be a combination of fruity hybrids. Aside from its 28–30% THC level, Pink Guava is most commonly known for its sweet and fruity flavor profile.

The result of crossing Zkittlez and OZ Kush strains, OZK is another cultivar known for its high levels of THC (22–26%), and has a similar flavor profile to that of Pink Guava. However, rather than being dominated by tropical citrus fruits, OZK’s taste is more balanced, with sweet and sour grapefruit notes running alongside spicy grapes and hints of earthy diesel. Physical Characteristics of Rainbow Sherbert #11Rainbow Sherbert #11 takes a blend of physical characteristics from its parent strains, developing large, fat, indica-reminiscent leaves but still standing tall and strong like a traditional sativa.

And rather than focusing energy on one central cola, the plant produces multiple smaller buds, much like those of OZK. While it’s not uncommon for growers to see hints of purple and blue, most buds are light green with a generous covering of electric orange pistils. Resin production is also respectable, which only helps to strengthen the strain's room-filling aroma.

Properties and Effects of Rainbow Sherbert #11RS11 presents lower THC levels than its parents (15–20%) alongside approximately 2% CBD. Fortunately, its uplifting, euphoric, and relaxing effect can last a long while without losing its intensity. Despite the lower levels of THC, beginners should still take care with Rainbow Sherbert #11 and consume it in small doses.

Uses of Rainbow Sherbert #11One of Rainbow Sherbert #11’s strengths is its versatility. Its moderate THC levels and balanced high make it ideal for both recreational and medicinal cannabis users. If your focus isn’t on maximizing the soothing aspects of RS11, then vaping dried flowers is an excellent way to capture the strain’s full spectrum of flavors.

Consider adjusting your usual temperature profile to 190–205°C. Although, by modern standards, the concentration of THC inside RS11 is on the lower end, it can still provide a powerful experience. Cultivation and Production of Rainbow Sherbert #11Encouragingly, Rainbow Sherbert #11 is easy to grow, with a flowering period of roughly 8–9 weeks indoors, which will please beginners and experts alike.

However, while the strain excels in flavor and bud density, some growers find the yield potential to be less than ideal. In a classic cultivation setting, it can yield up to 350–450g/m² indoors and 400–600g/plant outdoors. However, to obtain up to 20% higher yields, growers are recommended to use low-stress training during the vegetative stage.

The LST technique helps to flatten the canopy and optimize the development of the lower buds. This approach is especially useful as RS11 tends to produce multiple smaller bud sites rather than one central cola. Rainbow Sherbert #11: A Cult Classic That’s Reaching the MainstreamEarning cult status among celebrities and influencers, RS11 has made a name for itself without extensive marketing or outlandish claims.

Instead, the strain is favored for its balanced high, moderate THC levels, ease of growth, and diverse flavor profile. As long as you maximize the canopy’s exposure to light, even beginner growers should find it easy to produce more than enough bud for personal consumption. Regardless of the plant’s yield, interest in the cultivar remains high, and with Doja’s reputation for sourcing the best phenotypes around, it's likely RS11 will continue to attract the respect and admiration of cultivators across the US.
