Ghost Train Power
Also known as: Ghost Train Power OG, GTP
Ghost Train Power Strain Overview
Ghost Train Power is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two notable parent strains: Ghost Train Haze and Power Plant. This combination creates a strain that inherits the cerebral intensity and energetic qualities of its sativa-dominant Ghost Train Haze parent while incorporating the balanced effects and robust growth characteristics of Power Plant. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a high-THC variety with both recreational appeal and manageable cultivation traits.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. Flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a compact, indica-influenced structure despite the strain's hybrid classification. The visual presentation is often described as striking, with the heavy trichome coverage being particularly notable.
Ghost Train Power has gained recognition primarily for its exceptionally high THC content, which frequently exceeds 25%, placing it among the more potent cannabis varieties available. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and its powerful effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Ghost Train Power has developed a following among experienced cannabis consumers seeking intense psychoactive experiences. Its genetic background combines award-winning lineages, with Ghost Train Haze having won multiple Cannabis Cup awards and Power Plant being a respected South African sativa-dominant hybrid.

Ghost Train Power Strain Growing Information
Ghost Train Power is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are generally above average, with indoor growers reporting 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 600+ grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods indoors. Plants tend to exhibit hybrid growth patterns, reaching medium to tall heights (often 150-200cm outdoors) with good lateral branching. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help manage height and improve yields. The plants are relatively resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high, particularly during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium demands increase.
