Cataract OG X Afghan Ghost

Cataract OG X Afghan Ghost: An Indica-Leaning Evening Hybrid

Cataract OG X Afghan Ghost is a 70% indica / 30% sativa hybrid that pairs a relaxed, sleepy body effect with a bright, uplifted and euphoric mood. With THC between 18% and 22% and only trace CBD (about 0.1%), it is a Type I chemovar, meaning THC drives the experience. Its flavor profile stands out: reviewers repeatedly describe a coffee note running through earthy, piney and citrus flavors.

The strain is also listed under the aliases Space Cowboy, Space Cowgirl and Ctr, and it is reported as commonly available.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

As the name says, this strain crosses Cataract OG with Afghan Ghost. One source credits the breeding to Exclusive Seeds, distributed through the Exclusive Seeds Bank. No year or decade of origin is documented. The 70/30 indica lean helps explain why sources consistently describe it as relaxing and sleepy, with an uplifted mood on top.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

Sources name four terpenes. These are anecdotal reports with no lab percentages:

• Myrcene (dominant): earthy and herbal. It is commonly linked to the sedating, body-first relaxation this strain is known for.
• Limonene: a citrus brightness associated with the uplifted, happy mood reports.
• Pinene: the source of the forest-pine note. It is often associated with alertness, which may explain why some users call it focused.
• Caryophyllene: peppery and woody. It is the only common terpene known to interact with CB2 receptors, which is why it comes up in discussions of body comfort.

The aroma is described as:

• Earthy: the base layer, consistent with myrcene dominance
• Pine: sharp and resinous
• Citrus: a zesty top note
• Pungent and woody: a dense, lingering funk
• Coffee: an unusual roasted note that sets this cross apart

👅 Flavor Experience

On the inhale, you'll notice earthy and woody tones. A distinctive coffee flavor follows, roasty and slightly bitter in a pleasant way. Citrus brightens the middle of the draw, and a cool pine finish lingers on the exhale.

🎯 Effects & Experience

Reported effects include:

• Relaxed and calm: the most consistent report across sources
• Uplifted, euphoric and happy: a cheerful mental lift
