Crippled Rhino
Also known as: Crippit
Overview
Crippled Rhino is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) that represents a unique love story in cannabis breeding. Created by crossing a selected White Rhino female with a Crippler male, this strain was developed as part of an intimate breeding project where the cross was made on the same day the breeders shared their first kiss. The strain combines the speed and size characteristics of White Rhino with the deep earthy and exotic taste profile of the rare Crippler, which has its origins in Chocolate Thai genetics from Seattle in the late 1970s.
Crippled Rhino produces small, rounded forest green buds with thick orange hairs and a heavy coating of tiny bright amber crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its distinctive spicy, flowery flavor profile with rich peppery and earthy aromas. Users report that this strain delivers exceptional pain-killing effects, making it particularly valuable for evening medicinal use. The strain's genetic background traces to Afghanistan, Brazil, and India through its parent strains, creating a complex lineage that contributes to its unique characteristics and potent therapeutic properties.

Growing Information
Crippled Rhino is considered moderately difficult to grow and best suited for intermediate growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 6 weeks, making it notably fast-finishing. Plants can grow quite tall, reportedly reaching up to 7 feet with dense cola formations as long as an arm. The strain prefers warm temperatures between 70-85°F and responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor yields can be substantial, while outdoor plants benefit from full sunlight and consistent warm temperatures. The strain demonstrates good resistance to common pests and diseases, though it requires careful attention to humidity levels to prevent mold in the dense buds.
