What is the Ghost Train Haze strain?
Ghost Train Haze is a modern Haze-family sativa from Colorado breeder Rare Dankness, crossing Ghost OG with Neville’s Wreck. It is famous mostly for potency: it is the strain people name when they ask for the strongest sativa. The sources agree on its genetics and flavour but disagree sharply on THC:
| Source | Type | THC | Top terpenes / flavours | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leafly | Sativa | 19%, 2% CBG | Terpinolene, limonene, myrcene · citrus, sage, lime | 4.5 from 1,286 ratings |
| AllBud | 80% sativa / 20% indica | 27% | Citrus, lemon, sweet | 4.7 from 135 votes |
| Aqualitas (Canadian licensed producer, its own lots) | Sativa-dominant | 22% to 27%, under 1% CBD | Beta-pinene, limonene, myrcene, terpinolene, trans-ocimene | – |
| Mellow Fellow (strain review, Sept 2025) | Sativa-dominant | “Up to 27%”, “commonly tests in the mid-20s” | – | – |
Leafly’s figure is an average across many reports, while the higher numbers come from specific lots or single listings. Neither is wrong; they measure different things. What you actually get depends on the grower and the lot.
Is Ghost Train Haze sativa or indica?
Ghost Train Haze is a sativa. Leafly lists it as a sativa, AllBud as 80% sativa and 20% indica, and the Canadian producer Aqualitas sells its flower as sativa-dominant. Its indica side comes from Ghost OG, an OG Kush cut, which gives it a little more body than a pure Haze.
As with any strain, treat the label as a rough guide. A 2019 genetic study of 30 dispensary strains found samples did not group cleanly by indica, sativa or hybrid, and same-name samples were sometimes genetically different (Schwabe and McGlaughlin, Journal of Cannabis Research, 2019). Our indica vs sativa vs hybrid guide explains why.
Is Ghost Train Haze the strongest strain?
Ghost Train Haze has a reputation as the strongest sativa, but no strain is reliably the strongest. AllBud says High Times named it the “most potent strain on earth” in 2012, and the Mellow Fellow review says it won Best Sativa at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup. We could not confirm either claim in a primary High Times source, so treat them as reported, not verified.
The measurable data is mixed. AllBud lists 27% THC and Aqualitas 22% to 27% for its own jars, but Leafly’s average is 19%, below Super Silver Haze. Here is how it compares with other Haze-family and classic sativas on Leafly’s listed averages:
| Sativa | Leafly THC | Top terpene | Genetics (Leafly) | At Bud Cargo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost Train Haze | 19%, 2% CBG | Terpinolene | Ghost OG × Neville’s Wreck | Boost shatter 1 g $25 |
| Super Silver Haze | 21% | Myrcene | Haze × (Northern Lights #5 × Haze) | Not stocked |
| Mango Haze | 20% | Terpinolene | Haze × Northern Lights #5 (with Skunk) | Ounce $62 |
| Super Lemon Haze | 19% | Terpinolene | Super Silver Haze × Lemon Skunk | CRFT cart $30 · HERA cart $18 |
| Sour Diesel | 19% | Caryophyllene | Chemdawg × Super Skunk (per DNA Genetics) | Ounce $72 |
| Jack Herer | 18%, 1% CBG | Terpinolene | Haze hybrid (exact cross disputed) | So High syringe $30 |
Format matters far more than strain name. Shatter is a concentrate that is often several times stronger per gram than flower; under Schedule 3 of the Cannabis Act, 0.25 g of concentrate counts the same as 1 g of dried cannabis.
What are the parents of Ghost Train Haze?
Ghost Train Haze is a cross of Ghost OG and Neville’s Wreck, bred by Rare Dankness. Leafly describes Ghost OG as “a cut of OG Kush” (19% THC, myrcene-led, 4.5 from 704 ratings) and lists Ghost Train Haze as one of its children, alongside Banana Kush.
Neville’s Wreck is the Haze side. It is named after Neville Schoenmakers, the Dutch seed pioneer whose company popularized the original Haze and Northern Lights lines, and it is generally described as a cerebral sativa. That is the same Haze heritage found in our Mango Haze and Lemon Haze guides. Leafly lists Citradelic Sunset and Alpha Express as offspring of Ghost Train Haze.
What does Haze strain taste like?
Haze strains generally taste citrusy, spicy and earthy with a sharp, almost incense-like finish, and Ghost Train Haze is a good example. Leafly lists citrus, sage and lime flavours; AllBud lists citrus, lemon and sweet, with earthy, floral and pungent aromas.
Leafly’s top terpene is terpinolene, a fresh, piney-floral terpene that is also found in apples, lilacs and nutmeg and runs through much of the Haze family, followed by limonene and myrcene. In shatter, extraction tends to concentrate those terpenes, so the citrus and pine come through sharper than in flower.
How does Ghost Train Haze feel?
Ghost Train Haze is known for a fast, energetic and cerebral high. On Leafly, the most reported feelings are focused, energetic and uplifted, and AllBud lists creative, euphoric, focused, giggly, happy and uplifting.
It is also one of the strains most often flagged as too much for beginners. Leafly’s most reported negatives are feeling anxious, dizzy and dry mouth, and AllBud warns that heavy use can feel almost psychedelic and may cause paranoia. Start with a very small amount, particularly with shatter; Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines recommend favouring lower-THC products and using less often.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ghost Train Haze sativa or indica?
Ghost Train Haze is a sativa. Leafly classifies it as a sativa, AllBud lists it as an 80% sativa, 20% indica hybrid, and Canadian producer Aqualitas sells it as a sativa-dominant flower. Expect an energetic, cerebral profile rather than a body-heavy one.
Which sativa strain is the most powerful?
No sativa is reliably the most powerful, because THC varies more between lots than between strain names. Ghost Train Haze is often named because AllBud lists 27% and Aqualitas lists 22% to 27%, but Leafly’s average is 19%. On Leafly’s averages, Super Silver Haze (21%) and Mango Haze (20%) sit slightly higher.
Is Ghost Train Haze the strongest strain?
It has that reputation, but the data does not support a single strongest strain. AllBud says High Times named it the most potent strain in 2012, and some lots test in the mid-20s for THC. Leafly’s listed average is a more modest 19% THC with 2% CBG.
What does Haze strain taste like?
Haze strains usually taste citrusy, spicy and earthy with a sharp, incense-like finish. Ghost Train Haze fits that pattern: Leafly lists citrus, sage and lime, and AllBud lists citrus, lemon and sweet. Terpinolene, its top terpene on Leafly, is common across the Haze family.
What are the parents of Ghost Train Haze?
Ghost Train Haze is a cross of Ghost OG and Neville’s Wreck, bred by Rare Dankness. Leafly describes Ghost OG as a cut of OG Kush. Neville’s Wreck is a sativa named after Dutch breeder Neville Schoenmakers, the man behind the original Haze and Northern Lights seed lines.
Is Ghost Train Haze good for beginners?
Usually not. AllBud warns it is strong and not well suited to beginners or people prone to anxiety, and Leafly lists feeling anxious as its most reported negative. If you try it, start with a very small amount, especially as shatter, which is far stronger than flower.
Does Bud Cargo sell Ghost Train Haze?
Yes, as a concentrate. As of 29 October 2026 Bud Cargo stocks Boost Shatter Ghost Train Haze, 1 g, at $25. There is no Ghost Train Haze flower in stock; the Mango Haze ounce ($62) and Sour Diesel ounce ($72) are the closest sativa flowers.
