White Rhino strain

Description

White Rhino is a classic, powerful indica-dominant hybrid (roughly 80% indica / 20% sativa) known for its heavy-hitting effects, dense frosty buds, and legendary resin production. Originally bred in the Netherlands and later popularized in North America, this strain delivers a strong body stone with a mild euphoric head lift — making it a go-to for deep relaxation, pain relief, and sleep support.

The name “White Rhino” comes from the thick, white layer of trichomes that covers the buds, giving them a rhino-horn-like frosty appearance. It remains a timeless favorite among indica lovers and concentrate producers.
