Ghost Rider
Also known as: Ghost Rider OG
Ghost Rider Strain Overview
Ghost Rider is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is generally believed to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely as a phenotype selection from existing OG Kush genetics. Breeders sought to create a strain with the powerful effects of classic OG varieties but with enhanced flavor complexity and reliable growth characteristics.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds that are typically dense and conical in structure, with a coating of frosty trichomes that give the flowers a ghostly white appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to sometimes purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the buds. Ghost Rider's name reflects both its pale, trichome-covered appearance and its reputation for delivering a powerful, long-lasting experience that some users describe as an intense ride.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines fuel, citrus, and earthy notes, creating a distinctive aroma that is both pungent and sweet. The strain has gained a following among experienced cannabis consumers who appreciate its balanced yet potent effects and its reliable performance in cultivation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Ghost Rider has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among connoisseur circles.

Ghost Rider Strain Growing Information
Ghost Rider is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-180 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may require support during late flowering. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
