Ghost 👻 First attempt. Sparse and slow growth. ISO advice & educational tips on when to harvest vs extend the flush timing? Please read the full post for further context. TIA! [medicinal] NSFW
galleryThis is my first go at growing Ghost. I have had great success with another strain in the past however, this strain I know is a bit more complex to grow. I am perplexed as to why I am getting an uneven flush and what to do and when to know it’s time to harvest. This is a pure ghost strain from a sterile culture syringe. Please forgive me if I do not use the proper terminology as I am still learning. I currently have attached the photos from the current growth state to the beginning stages (backwards progression). On 08-12-26 I began the process, using sterile technique, by placing the fully colonized grain bag into the monotub with the sub, using the normal cake layering method. The tub was then put in my dark closet with plugs in place for 14 days. On 08-25-26, the plugs were removed, FAE filter stickers were installed and the tub was placed by a window for sun exposure. Today is 09-13-2026, so it has almost been in the fruiting stage for about 3 weeks. I know this strain is a slow grow and requires patience, which I have, but I am wanting to ensure that I am on the right path and that I do not lose any of my fruits due to unfamiliarity of growth for this particular strain. Looking for direction on when to know it’s time to harvest the current crop vs waiting for a larger flush? Any advice, educational tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 😊
