White Rhino: A Beautiful Beast of a Strain
White Rhino seeds produce one of the coolest and most unique looking plants known to man. The plant, leaves and tricombs are covered in white resin from top to bottom. The resin is what makes the plant look white when it is actually very green with dark amber hairs. When clipped, dried and harvested these buds are thick and dense and heavy. They appear mostly orange due to the hairs covering the green backdrop. Breaking these buds open will fill your space with a skunky aroma that is mouth-watering. Winner of multiple awards the White Rhino strain has taken home some major hardware. These awards include second place at the 1996 High Times Cannabis Cup and first place at the 2005 Champions Cup. Requiring a bit of patience and an intermediate level of experience, growing this strain can be difficult for first-timers.
