Blue Rhino
Also known as: Blue Rhino 420, BlueRino
Overview
Blue Rhino is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing White Rhino and DJ Short's Blueberry, two legendary strains with distinguished cannabis cup wins. This strain was developed through careful selective breeding, particularly by European breeders including Positronics, a pioneering seed bank known for innovative breeding techniques. The strain exhibits a distinctive bluish tint in its buds, especially when grown in cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering, with colors ranging from light blue to hints of royal purple and magenta. Blue Rhino is characterized by its dense, resinous buds covered in frosty trichomes that resemble the horn of a rhino, hence the name. The plant typically grows with a large central cola and limited side branching, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation. Blue Rhino has gained recognition in various cannabis competitions and has developed a loyal following among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Blue Rhino is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 60 days (8-9 weeks) when grown indoors. Indoor yields range from 550-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-900 grams per plant. The plant grows to medium-short height indoors (0-4 feet) and taller outdoors (5-8 feet, up to 2 meters). Blue Rhino thrives in temperate climates and prefers full sun exposure when grown outdoors. The strain develops a large central cola with limited side branching and requires adequate space for root development. For optimal blue coloration and enhanced terpene expression, growers should lower temperatures during the final two weeks of flowering. The plant has higher nitrogen and magnesium demands during early flowering stages.
