Luke's Ghost
Also known as: Luke's Ghost OG
Luke's Ghost Strain Overview
Luke's Ghost is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, likely in California or Oregon, during the early 2010s. The name references both its purported creator (Luke) and its ghostly appearance, characterized by a heavy coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty, spectral quality.
The strain exhibits dense, chunky buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance, though its effects are more balanced. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense floral clusters. The most distinctive visual feature is the exceptional trichome coverage that gives the buds a shimmering, almost white appearance under proper lighting. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy base notes with citrus and pine undertones.
Luke's Ghost has remained somewhat elusive in mainstream cannabis markets, primarily circulating among boutique growers and specialty dispensaries. Its rarity contributes to its mystique, with some enthusiasts considering it a 'hidden gem' among hybrid strains. The strain's effects are noted for their balanced nature, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage.

Luke's Ghost Strain Growing Information
Luke's Ghost is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
