Also known as: Ghost Cherry
Ghost Cherries Strain Overview
Ghost Cherries is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Ghost OG and Cherry Pie. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid with the potent effects of Ghost OG and the distinctive flavor profile of Cherry Pie. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, particularly in North America, though it remains less common than its parent strains.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a range of colors from deep forest green to purple hues, accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, ghost-like appearance. The name 'Ghost Cherries' reflects both its genetic lineage and its visual characteristics, with 'Ghost' referencing the heavy trichome coverage and 'Cherries' indicating its Cherry Pie heritage.
Ghost Cherries is noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has become known among cannabis enthusiasts for its ability to provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Ghost Cherries has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its particular combination of effects and flavors.

Ghost Cherries Strain Growing Information
Ghost Cherries is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better control of environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, making them manageable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Ghost Cherries prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Some training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
