Feel the Rainbow

Feel the Rainbow – James Loud Seeds

Feel the Rainbow by James Loud is a balanced hybrid cross between RS11 (Rainbow Sherbet #11) and ZBX that combines sweet candy aromas with fresh citrus notes and an exceptionally diverse floral aroma profile. The mother line, RS11, originates from laboratory-propagated tissue culture and brings its vigorous plant structure and complex aroma profile to this cross. With ZBX, a second parent line is introduced, known for its pronounced sweet, fruity and lemony notes. The result is a distinctive hybrid with a complex scent ranging from sweet fruit candies and cherry blossoms to zesty lime and lemonade, as well as creamy vanilla gelato.

Feel the Rainbow typically develops compact, vigorous plants with a relatively short stature. According to James Loud, the flowering time is approximately 63 days, meaning the strain completes its flowering phase after around nine weeks. The breeder recommends indoor cultivation as the preferred growing environment, with the plants being particularly suitable for smaller growing spaces thanks to their compact structure. Outdoor cultivation is also generally possible. Depending on the phenotype, attractive, colorful flowers may develop, reflecting the genetic influences of both parent lines.

Characteristic is the interplay of sweet candy notes, delicate cherry blossoms and fresh citrus aromas, complemented by floral nuances and creamy vanilla. The aroma profile is sometimes reminiscent of lemon-lime soda, ice-cold lime slushies and sweet vanilla gelato. By combining RS11 and ZBX, James Loud brings together two parent lines with distinctive aroma profiles to create a unique hybrid strain.

James Loud: Cannabis Genetics, Selection and Tissue Culture

James Loud takes a comprehensive approach to cannabis breeding, from developing and selecting new genetics to propagation and quality control in an in-house laboratory environment. According to the company, the team has more than 25 years of experience working with plants. Its priorities include clean starting material, diverse terpene profiles and new cultivars whose traits are assessed before release.

Quick facts
Experience: more than 25 years working with plants (company statement)
Genetic library: over 1,000 cultivars
Specialties: breeding, selection, tissue culture and pathogen screening
Quality approach: in-house screening and additional third-party testing
Goal: clean, diverse genetics with well-assessed traits

A central part of this approach is the tissue culture program. According to the company, plant material is incorporated into its in-house tissue culture and pathogen screening processes. New cultivars are also tested in different production environments to better understand their potential. James Loud thus combines conventional breeding with laboratory-based quality control.
