White Phantom is an indica-dominant strain developed by the Oregon Microgrowers Guild, known for its potent effects and visually appealing buds. It resulted from a deliberate breeding program focused on indica characteristics, quickly gaining popularity among cannabis enthusiasts.
Appearance
White Phantom buds are visually striking, characterized by a dense, frosty layer of trichomes that give them a shimmering, almost ghostly appearance. Their compact structure, typical of indica heritage, is complemented by visible pistils. The plant features robust, dark green fan leaves contrasting with the lighter, silver-coated buds, which often measure 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter and are covered in trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of White Phantom is a complex blend of earthy and woody notes, accented by subtle hints of sweet citrus, lemon, and orange.
