Mind Reaper
Also known as: Mind Reaper OG
Mind Reaper Strain Overview
Mind Reaper is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two legendary parent strains: Ghost OG and Headband. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the powerful cerebral effects of Headband with the balanced physical relaxation of Ghost OG. The resulting hybrid has gained recognition among experienced cannabis consumers for its strong psychoactive properties and complex terpene profile.
Visually, Mind Reaper typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica-dominant Ghost OG parent. The flowers often display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave through the dense calyxes. The strain's name references its reputation for delivering intense cerebral effects that some users describe as mentally immersive or 'mind-altering'.
Notable characteristics include its pungent aroma that combines fuel-like notes with sweet undertones, and its reputation for producing long-lasting effects. While popular in certain cannabis communities, Mind Reaper remains less widely available than its parent strains, with most cultivation occurring in small batches by specialty growers. The strain's potency requires careful consumption, particularly for those with lower tolerance levels.

Mind Reaper Strain Growing Information
Mind Reaper is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
