Medical Light Ghost
Also known as: Ghost Light, Medical Ghost
Medical Light Ghost Strain Overview
Medical Light Ghost is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed specifically for therapeutic applications, with particular attention to providing functional relief with reduced psychoactive intensity compared to many modern high-THC varieties. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from a collaboration between medical cannabis breeders seeking to create a consistent, reliable option for patients requiring daytime symptom management without excessive intoxication. Its development focused on stabilizing a moderate THC content while maintaining a diverse terpene profile and consistent CBD presence.
The strain's name reflects its intended purpose and characteristics: 'Medical' denotes its therapeutic orientation, 'Light' references its moderate psychoactive effects, and 'Ghost' alludes to its subtle, lingering presence and pale trichome coverage. Plants typically display a balanced structure with sativa-like branching and indica-like bud density, featuring light green foliage with occasional purple hues in cooler conditions. The buds are moderately dense with a generous coating of crystalline trichomes that give them a frosted appearance, complemented by vibrant orange pistils.
Medical Light Ghost is noted for its predictable effects and consistent chemical profile, making it a preferred choice among medical cannabis programs and patients seeking reliable symptom management. The strain represents a deliberate departure from the high-THC trend in recreational cannabis, instead prioritizing therapeutic balance and functional relief. While not as widely available as commercial recreational strains, it maintains a dedicated following in medical cannabis communities and among cultivators specializing in therapeutic varieties.

Medical Light Ghost Strain Growing Information
Medical Light Ghost is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if given space. Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing proper nutrient management to avoid nutrient burn. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
