White Rhino: A Potent Indica-Dominant Hybrid
An award-winning indica hybrid with an alluring bud structure and heady effects, White Rhino summons up the power of its namesake animal. The strain exhibits a sultry scent characterised by notes of earth, wood, and skunk, and the plants are robust and extremely productive. With genetic influences stemming from various locations around the world, White Rhino has managed to stand the test of time, even as many new hybrids have entered the modern market.
Genetic Background of White Rhino: Diverse Influences
White Rhino was created in the mid-90s by Green House Seeds, a popular seed bank located in Amsterdam. This indica-dominant hybrid is believed to be a cross between the spectacular White Widow and North American Indica. As a result, White Rhino exhibits a diverse range of genetic influences. While its “Rhino” moniker accurately describes the strength of its high, the name is actually based on the rhinoceros horn-like shape of the topmost cola on White Rhino plants.
White Widow
Believed to be created in the late 80s, though ultimately released in the Netherlands in the 90s, White Widow is a classic hybrid strain renowned for its balanced high and unique flavour profile. One of the most famous strains in the world, White Widow is a cross between a Brazilian sativa and a South Indian indica, and it’s named after its thick covering of resinous crystals.
North American Indica
North American Indica is a landrace strain hailing from the United States and Canada. It is thought to be a descendant of Afghani and Mexican landrace strains, though nobody knows its true roots. North American Indica is popular for its soothing effects and good potency, which make it a top choice for holistic cannabis users.
Aroma and Flavour of White Rhino: Skunky and Earthy
White Rhino has a skunky aroma and taste with hints of earth, sweetness, wood, and pine. This flavour profile is ultimately down to several aromatic chemicals in cannabis, including volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) and terpenes—particularly the following:
- Myrcene
- Pinene
- Terpinolene
Potency and Effects of White Rhino: Euphoria Meets Relaxation
Recognised for its potent, long-lasting high, White Rhino typically clocks in with a THC content of 18–22%. Despite its power, White Rhino isn’t incapacitating when used in small amounts. Still, it’s perhaps not particularly suited for individuals seeking an especially mellow experience. Some users report a strong sense of bliss and creativity after smoking this strain, and others make note of a soothing, almost numbing quality.
Also, it’s worth noting that some sources claim that White Rhino’s high takes a few minutes to set in—so don’t be too quick to take another toke if you’re not feeling much.
Recreational Uses
White Rhino is highly regarded by recreational users for its twofold cerebral and physical effect. Users can look forward to an initial euphoric lift before a pleasant soothing physical effect takes hold. Although it can potentially be enjoyed during the daytime, it’s advised to take small amounts, as too many hits during the daytime could leave you more sleepy than upbeat.
Side Effects
White Rhino’s side effects may include:
- Dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Dizziness
- Paranoia
- Anxiety (especially for new users or those who use too much of the strain)
Growing White Rhino: Outstandingly Productive
White Rhino is a pretty easy strain to grow—though there are easier—which makes it a good choice for novices and intermediate growers alike. It is pretty resistant to pests and disease and, like most strains, can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
Indoor Growing Tips
White Rhino strain is known for its high yields, with some growers reporting up to 900g/m² after a short flowering stage of around 60–65 days. Of course, the actual yield will vary depending on environmental conditions, the plant’s genetics, and grower experience. Indoors and out, plants grow to be bushy and stout, and don’t reach exceptional heights. They are also said to handle slightly higher humidity quite well, though it’s not advised to push levels outside of the desired range.
Outdoor Growing Tips
Growing White Rhino outdoors is equally abundant, or even more so, than doing so indoors. When exposed to plenty of direct sunlight and airflow, plants will flourish and produce massive yields of up to 1200g/plant in early or mid-October.
Should You Try White Rhino?
Whether you’re a recreational cannabis user seeking a potent mind-body high, a medical user seeking relief from physical and mental tension, or a grower seeking massive yields from stout plants, White Rhino has a lot to offer.
For Growers
Despite being created almost three decades ago, White Rhino is one of the heavier-yielding strains on the modern market. While results will vary, growers seeking an abundance of nugs to get them through the months ahead will find White Rhino to be an exceptional partner. Not only that, but it displays good resistance to diseases and pests, and it handles inclement weather rather well too. Although it might not be as easy to grow as an autoflower, for example, White Rhino is not known to be particularly difficult either.
For Recreational Users
Can’t decide between a euphoric high and a physical stone? Why not enjoy both, courtesy of White Rhino. Whether you’re looking to indulge alone or with friends, you’ll find that White Rhino inspires creative thinking while keeping the body grounded and relaxed.
White Rhino: Power and Abundance, Personified
Deriving from legendary genetics and boasting exceptional yields, White Rhino packs a lot of power into its dense nugs. As one of Amsterdam’s finest creations, White Rhino carries on White Widow’s name with pride and productivity.
