Ghost OG by Connected California is an Indica-dominant hybrid with legendary OG Kush genetics, known for its potent effects and unique flavor profile. I picked up an eighth of this strain from The Artist Tree West Hollywood and was eager to see if it lived up to the Connected California reputation. Read on for the full review!
First impressions: 8.5/10
This batch of Ghost OG delivered some stunning visuals. The lime-green nugs are speckled with darker green accents and vibrant orange hairs, creating a beautiful contrast. The trichome coverage is solid, giving the buds a frosted appearance. While the cure was definitely overdone, and this strain is dry for a top shelf jar. Testing as follows:
Package Date: 11/15/24
Total THC: 36.10%
Smell/taste: 8.6/10
The aroma opens with classic OG notes of earth and herbs, followed by a spicy pepper kick. What sets Ghost OG apart is its subtle but delightful lemon twist, reminiscent of fresh lemonade. The taste mirrors the smell, with a smooth herbal base complemented by hints of sugar cane sweetness. The peppery finish is slightly muted, making it more accessible for those who aren’t fans of overly spicy strains. The flavor overall is not the strongest, probably because of the overcure.
Effects: 9.0/10
Ghost OG delivers a strong, fast-acting head high that feels like a surge of creative energy. While its Indica lineage might suggest a more sedative effect, this strain is surprisingly uplifting and energizing. It’s great for brainstorming sessions or activities that require a spark of inspiration, but it still retains a calming undertone that prevents overstimulation.
Overall: 8.7/10
Alien Labs’ Ghost OG is a standout example of a modern OG strain with a unique twist. Its gorgeous appearance, complex flavor profile, and balanced effects make it a versatile option for daytime or evening use. Whether you're an OG connoisseur or just looking for something to fuel your creativity, Ghost OG is worth a try.
