About White Rhino
White Rhino is an indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 80% indica / 20% sativa) bred by crossing White Widow with an Afghani-North Indian indica. The result is a compact, stocky plant with extremely thick, heavy buds that are absolutely caked in milky white trichomes. The aroma is pungent and earthy with deep woody notes, sweet pine, spicy pepper, and a hint of floral sweetness. The flavor profile includes sweet earth, pine, licorice, and woody hash. The effects are powerfully sedative and body-heavy, producing couch-lock at higher doses. White Rhino won multiple Cannabis Cups in the late 1990s and early 2000s and was among the strongest indicas available at the time of its release.

History
White Rhino was created by Green House Seeds as a follow-up to the phenomenal success of White Widow. By crossing White Widow with a potent North Indian indica, breeder Arjan added significant body effects and potency to the White family's signature resin production. White Rhino won first prize in the Bio category at the 1996 High Times Cannabis Cup and continued to win awards in subsequent years. The strain was especially popular among medical users seeking strong pain relief and sleep aid. It also became known for its extremely white, trichome-laden appearance, taking the White name quite literally. White Rhino was one of the defining 'super indicas' of the 1990s and helped establish Green House Seeds as a global leader in cannabis breeding.
