Ghost OG (also known as Ghost OG Kush or simply Ghost) is a classic indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain, widely regarded as a legendary phenotype or cut of the iconic OG Kush lineage.
Key characteristics:
- Genetics: Typically a cross of OG Kush × Afghani (or a refined clone selection from OG Kush origins). It’s often described as 70% indica / 30% sativa, though some sources note it leans heavily indica in effects and structure.
- THC content: Commonly ranges from 18-26%, with many batches testing 20-25% and some premium or well-grown samples reaching 27-30%. CBD is usually negligible (under 0.5-1%).
- Aroma and flavor: Classic OG profile—strong, pungent diesel/fuel/gas notes upfront, layered with citrus (lemon/pine), earthy musk, and sometimes subtle vanilla, pine, or spice. Terpenes are dominated by myrcene (earthy/sedating), limonene (citrusy), caryophyllene (peppery/spicy), with supporting notes like pinene, humulene, and linalool.
- Appearance: Dense, compact buds with heavy trichome coverage (frosty/white resin), often showing dark green to deep purple hues in cooler grows, orange pistils, and a sticky texture.
- Effects: Starts with a euphoric, uplifting cerebral buzz that promotes happiness, calm, and mental clarity, then transitions into deep body relaxation, muscle soothing, and potential sedation. Users frequently report it as balanced—not overwhelmingly couch-locking for most, but potent enough for evening or wind-down use. The high is often described as long-lasting and smooth.
This strain is a favorite for recreational relaxation and commonly sought for potential relief from stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, or mood issues, though experiences vary by individual tolerance, dosage, and method
