Ghost OG is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from Trainwreck. As an established cultivar in the industry, it is widely credited to the legacy of OG lineages within California, known for its consistent genetic expression. Growers can cultivate this strain in both indoor and outdoor environments, where it reaches maturity after a 70-day flowering period. With a moderate difficulty level, the plant is recognized for producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Ghost OG is led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, linalool, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, terpinolene, ocimene, borneol, camphene, and geraniol. This complex array of terpenes defines the aromatic and sensory experience of the flower, offering a nuanced composition that reflects its specific chemical signature.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, the primary effects associated with Ghost OG are characterized by a sense of relaxation, calm, and focus. These physiological results make the strain a common choice for managing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. The genetic contribution of this strain has been significant, as it appears in the lineage of numerous offspring, including Elusive Giraffe, Tanuki Suit #1, Greased Monkey, Brunch with Margot, Ghost Of Boneyard, Blue Cherries, Lanky Nibbs, Alien Graveyard, Arcata Ghost, Boo Dream, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Bubba OG.
