About this release
Zkittlez is one of the biggest names in modern cannabis genetics, wowing smokers the world over with its bold candy aromas and potent high. In this article, we take a closer look at Rainbow Belts, a new hybrid descending directly from the almighty Zkittlez genetic line. Strain History of Rainbow Belts Rainbow Belts is the creation of Archive Seed Bank and a direct descendant of Zkittlez—arguably the US' favorite “candy” strain. Archive Seed Bank was founded by Fletcher "ThaDocta" Watson, who began growing cannabis at the age of 17 and started his career as a breeder in 2008. After collecting seeds for several years, ThaDocta developed a passion for heirloom genetics, many of which he still uses in the creation of his strains today. In 2015, ThaDocta, originally from Virginia, moved to Portland, Oregon to found the Archive Seed Bank and dispensary. The reason was simple—it was the only state where he was allowed to produce, process, and sell his product directly to the public (many US states do not allow individuals or companies to hold multiple cannabis licenses for cultivation, processing, and retail). Thanks to Portland's laws, ThaDocta and his team are able to sell 100% in-house products at their dispensary, from seeds and clones through to dry flower, concentrates, and everything in between. By far, ThaDocta's most famous creation to date is the beloved Dosidos, a strain that has taken the entire North American cannabis market by storm since its creation in 2016. Rainbow Belts is one of Archive's newer creations, and was officially launched in 2022. Genetic Lineage of Rainbow Belts The Archive Seed Bank and Dispensary currently stocks three different varieties of Rainbow Belts: Rainbow Belts 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. The original Rainbow Belts 1.0 is a cross of Zkittlez and Moonbow #75, which also contains Zkittlez genetics. The Archive decided to preserve Rainbow Belts 1.0 thanks to the strain's sexual stability, OG-like potency, and delicious lime candy aromas/flavor
