Medicine Man
Medicine Man
Also known as: White Rhino
Overview
Medicine Man is an indica-dominant hybrid strain with an 80:20 indica/sativa ratio originally developed by Mr. Nice Seedbank in Amsterdam. Originally cultivated under the name White Rhino at Green House Seed Company in the mid-1990s, the strain was given a new name when breeders Neville Schoenmakers, Scott Blakey (Shantibaba), and Howard Marks (Mr. Nice) left Green House and brought the genetics with them. Medicine Man is a hybrid of Afghani, Brazilian, and South Indian landrace strains, deriving from the impressive Black Widow strain mixed with old school Afghan genetics. Its heritage lies in Brazilian, Indian, and Afghani strains, and Medicine Man is sometimes mistaken to be its close family member, White Rhino.
The buds of Medicine Man are visually striking, with a range of greens and sometimes purples and yellow and red hairs throughout its dense buds. The ample coverage of glistening trichomes adds a frosty sheen to the surface, hinting at the potent cannabinoids contained within. Lab results show its cannabinoid content can reach and even exceed 23% THC, which is why it was renamed from 'White Rhino' to 'Medicine Man' to indicate its potent effects. A proven medical marvel for those in need of high levels of the most active cannabinoids, Mr. Nice reports high levels of CBD in Medicine Man and recommends the strain for treating terminally ill patients. This medicine has a fruity aroma, with just a slight sour note that isn't quite strong enough to be overwhelming.

Medicine Man is mostly indica and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of approximately 60 days. Mr. Nice Seeds reports that Medicine Man is easy to grow and recommends growing indoors to get the heaviest yields of compact, highly resinous buds, also recommending hydroponics for this strain. Indoor growers can expect about 600g/m² of Medicine Man buds, while outdoors this strain develops around 450-600g/plant. Medicine Man flowers in 56-65 days, with harvest time around October for the Northern Hemisphere or mid-April in the Southern Hemisphere.
