Ghosthawg OG Kush by Riot Seeds
OG Kush × Landrace Genetics
Ghosthawg OG Kush is an indica-dominant strain meticulously developed by Riot Seeds, drawing inspiration from the classic OG Kush lineage. It is recognized for its complex aromatic profile and potent effects, stemming from a rigorous breeding process.
Appearance
Ghosthawg OG Kush presents dense, tightly packed buds that often appear glossy and coated in resin. The coloration features deep greens, sometimes with purple and blue undertones, especially in cooler temperatures. A thick layer of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, accented by small orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is a complex blend, initially offering strong notes of pine and diesel, layered with earthy and skunky undertones. As the buds are handled or heated, sweet floral scents emerge, complementing the citrus notes. The flavor mirrors this complexity, starting with a diesel kick that transitions into a sweet, earthy taste with a slightly spicy finish.
Effects
This strain is reported to induce a sense of calm. Its indica-dominant nature suggests a relaxing experience, often associated with deep tranquility.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates THC levels typically ranging between 20% and 25%. While specific terpene profiles can vary, limonene has been identified, contributing to the citrus notes. The high resin production suggests a rich terpene content overall.
Growing
Ghosthawg OG Kush is noted for its genetic stability and resilience, showing a lower incidence of mold compared to other strains under humid conditions. Early cultivation trials indicated consistent resin production and promising yields, with indoor yields reported up to 550 grams per square meter.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Riot Seeds over several years, Ghosthawg OG Kush builds upon the legacy of OG Kush. Approximately 70% of its genetic makeup is derived from OG Kush, with the remaining 30% coming from resilient landrace genetics. This careful crossbreeding aimed to balance potency and flavor.
