Green Ghost
Also known as: Ghost OG, Ghost OG Kush
Green Ghost Strain Overview
Green Ghost is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile. The strain is believed to have originated from the crossbreeding of OG Kush with an unknown indica-dominant strain, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to limited documentation from breeders. It first gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene during the early 2000s, where it was prized for its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. The name 'Green Ghost' reportedly comes from the strain's appearance when properly cured, where the dense buds develop a pale green hue with subtle ghostly white trichome coverage.
The strain produces medium-sized, compact buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are covered in a generous layer of crystalline trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage. Green Ghost is known for its dense bud structure and sticky resin production, making it a favorite among extract producers. The plant typically exhibits a bushy growth pattern with broad leaves characteristic of its indica heritage, though it maintains some sativa-like branching structure.
Notable features of Green Ghost include its complex terpene profile that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle undertones of diesel. The strain has gained a reputation among cultivators for its resilience to common molds and pests, making it suitable for growers of various experience levels. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Green Ghost maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities who appreciate its consistent effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Green Ghost Strain Growing Information
Green Ghost is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor growers can expect yields of 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants typically produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C). Plants typically reach a height of 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) indoors and 5-7 feet (150-210 cm) outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering (40-50% RH) to prevent mold, implementing training techniques like topping or LST to manage height and improve light penetration, and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from a 1-2 week flush before harvest.
