Ghost Face
Ghost OG × Face Off OG
Ghost Face is a hybrid cultivar that emerged in the 2010s, recognized for its potent OG lineage and distinct lemon-fuel aroma. It offers a balanced experience, providing both relaxation and euphoria, making it a popular choice for evening use.
Appearance
Ghost Face flowers typically present in olive to forest green hues, accented by amber or orange pistils. They are densely coated in bulbous, milky trichomes, indicative of high resin content. The nug structure often resembles classic OG forms, such as spears and golf balls, with tightly packed calyxes and minimal leaf material. Well-cultivated specimens display prominent, glistening resin heads.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Ghost Face is characterized by a layered citrus-kush bouquet, commonly featuring lemon zest over notes of pine sap and earthy spice. Some batches include a musky undertone with a hint of fuel. Upon breaking apart the buds, the scent intensifies, revealing lemon peel, peppery warmth, and an earthy, herbal base. Flavors often mirror the aroma, with prominent lemon, candy, and diesel notes, complemented by earthy, floral, and herbal undertones.
Effects
Ghost Face is known to induce a sense of calm and euphoria, often beginning with an initial uplift to the head followed by a gradual body melt. The experience can be both ethereal and profoundly relaxing, with effects varying depending on the dosage. It is considered a dependable, high-octane hybrid suitable for evening consumption when deeper relief is desired.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 20-26%, with CBD content below 1%. Common terpene profiles often feature Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene in significant ratios, potentially contributing to its distinct aroma and effects. Trace amounts of Ocimene and Eucalyptol may also be present, adding subtle aromatic nuances. Total terpene content often exceeds 2% by dry weight in well-bred examples.
Origins & Lineage
Ghost Face is a modern hybrid derived from the OG family, often a conceptual pairing of Ghost OG and Face Off OG lines. Ghost OG contributes lemon, pine, and euphoric calm, while Face Off OG is known for its heavy sedation and potent resin. While specific breeder lineage can vary, these two parent strains form the foundation of most verified Ghost Face genetics, resulting in consistent OG structure and modern resin production.
Growing
Plants generally reach a medium stature with moderate stretch during the initial weeks of flowering. Balanced internodes support various cultivation methods like SCROG and SOG, though topping and trellising are often recommended. Ghost-leaning phenotypes may exhibit looser spears, while Face-leaning types tend to produce denser colas. Both benefit from canopy management to prevent humidity issues. Growers often focus on maximizing resin output and terpene retention, with flowering times typically around 8-10 weeks.
