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.
