Where does Ghost Dawg come from?

One strain database and Grow Diaries both give the cross as Ghost OG and Chemdawg. Both are secondary listings, not breeder records, and the breeder is not named anywhere I found.

The name fits: Ghost from the OG parent and Dawg from the Chemdog family. It also goes by Ghost Dog and Ghostdawg, and several unrelated strains share Dawg in the name, so check the spelling.

One strain database lists it as about 60% indica.

What does Ghost Dawg smell and taste like?

Descriptions combine a skunky, earthy base with sour citrus and tropical fruit. One strain database's flavour tags read more chemical, with apricot and ammonia, which fits the Chemdawg side.

One strain database names limonene as the leading terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. That is one source, so a given batch may differ.

Ghost Dawg effects: what people report

Reviewers most often describe it as sleepy, relaxed and hungry, with a happy body feel. One strain database calls it an evening strain, and one reviewer describes it hitting in two waves.

These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth, paranoia and anxiety also come up in one strain database's reviews, especially at higher amounts.

How strong is Ghost Dawg?

Ghost Dawg is listed as a high-THC strain. One strain database shows 28% THC and 0% CBD, while another database gives 28% as the top of an average range of 14% to 28%.

The label on your own package matters more than any listing. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains it.

Ghost Dawg vs Ghost OG

Ghost OG is one of the two parents. It is usually described with a cleaner citrus, pine and earth smell, while Ghost Dawg adds the fuel and skunk of Chemdawg and is listed with higher THC. Both get called relaxed and often sleepy. If you like a cleaner citrus profile, start with Ghost OG. If you want more funk, try Ghost Dawg.

Spliff vs joint vs blunt: the difference (and how to roll each)A joint is cannabis rolled in thin paper, a spliff is a joint that also has tobacco mixed in, and a blunt is cannabis rolled in cigar paper or tobacco leaf. The wrapper and the tobacco are what separate them, and both change what you are actually smoking.What does weed smell like? Aromas and terpenesWeed smells earthy, sweet, citrusy or piney, and often a bit skunky. Across 1,756 strain guides on WeedDB, sweet and earthy are the most common aromas, and the lead terpenes are usually caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene.The cannabis leaf: fan leaves, sugar leaves and what the shape meansA cannabis leaf is palmately compound: several narrow, serrated leaflets fan out from one point, usually five to seven but anywhere from three to nine or more. Big fan leaves do the photosynthesis, small sugar leaves sit inside the bud, and leaf shape alone does not reliably tell you whether a strain is an indica or a sativa.
