Silver Ghost

Yes, Silver Ghost is reasonably well suited to short season outdoor cannabis growing provided you plant early, choose sheltered sites and use fast-rooting techniques.

Plant transplants after the last major frost and when night temperatures are consistently above 10°C, typically late May to early June in coastal Wales.

Erect physical windbreaks or screens upwind and rinse foliage occasionally to reduce salt build-up that can burn leaves and reduce yield.

Use a balanced vegetative feed then switch to bloom nutrients higher in phosphorus and potassium during flowering, while monitoring EC and pH closely.

Light selective defoliation helps reduce moisture pockets and increases light penetration, but avoid heavy defoliation in strong coastal winds.

Use topping and low-stress training early in veg to limit stretch and strengthen branches before flowering begins.

Harvest when trichomes show a mix of cloudy and some amber heads and when pistils have mostly darkened; aim to finish before sustained wet autumn weather arrives.

You can, but feminized seeds reduce the risk of male plants and are generally recommended for most growers.

Aphids, thrips and spider mites can appear; regular inspection and biological controls help manage outbreaks without heavy chemicals.

Dry in a cool, dark, well-ventilated space with low humidity and then cure in jars for several weeks to preserve terpene complexity and smoothness.
