Ghost Butter
Also known as: Ghost Butter OG
Ghost Butter Strain Overview
Ghost Butter is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain appears to have gained initial popularity in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States before spreading to other legal markets. Breeders developed Ghost Butter by crossing two notable parent strains, creating a balanced hybrid that combines characteristics from both indica and sativa lineages.
The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its distinctive appearance. Ghost Butter plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that are pale green to almost white in color, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that gives them a ghostly, frosted appearance. The 'butter' portion of the name likely refers to the strain's smooth, creamy smoke and rich flavor profile. The buds often display vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the pale background, creating a visually striking presentation.
Ghost Butter is known for its complex terpene profile that produces a unique combination of aromas and flavors. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and versatile applications, though it remains less common than many mainstream commercial strains. Its moderate to high THC content makes it suitable for experienced users, while its balanced nature provides a middle ground between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.

Ghost Butter Strain Growing Information
Ghost Butter is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as they become heavy with resinous flowers. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
