It definitely dosent tolerate much water when young unless it can dry out fast, but will become much thirstier when established. It’s a rather finicky plant in general but she def needs less water then normal.

I had to cull mine at 5 weeks of flower due to a first ever experience with the borg imported on a different clone I got from someone else. I still have the moms but they are not exactly pesticide and fungicide free so to speak. New moms cloned soon. I found my Bubba plant was the first and most pronounced one that had PW as well. Dont know PW came in on the bubba clone or the one with the mites from another source. Ghost had a few mites on it so that was why she got culled and the long held GG4 showed PM as well. Anyone else have any PM issue with the Bubba or Ghost ? I think it all rode in on the same clone from another now banned vendor of a totally different strain I got.

I saw PM very briefly on a few plants. Did two treatment with powdered sulfur and haven’t seen it since.

There both very prone to it in general , if it’s in the area they will often be the first to catch it. Partially due to the fact that they are very old cuttings and have not evolved to combat the more modern strains of PM. When plants make seeds they can form small resistances to what ever vectors were attacking them and threw out each generation keep evolving to match the changing diseases etc. when you clone for 20+ years the plant has not been able to do this leaving it vulnerable to the more modern pests and disease because its defenses are based on what was circulating back then not now.
These are all the issues with the og that keep people from growing it, finicky about water and nutrients requiring you to constantly monitor and almost predict its needs, low tolerance to bugs or disease, low yield unless you do sea of green or major training before flower. If not grown under ideal conditions she will realy tell you by under performing and coming out kinda bland , I’ve watched the same cutting grow straight sour gas and also out of almost flavorless smoke . She must be kept happy all the way threw flower and takes a little longer to finish then some are willing to deal with in commercial settings.It’s realy a bitchy little plant so unless you realy like the terpene profile it’s kind of a pain to keep around . In the mid to late nineties when everybody was smoking brick weed or couch lock indica’s it was real unique , we have so many strains now a days it’s more of a breeding tool and historic novelty to have.

Training her like a vine
Just turned 3 main tops into 9+ And made her about 8” shorter without cutting a branch

looking great! this is from a certain strainly vender…? Would love to pick this cut up myself someday.
No this cut comes from one of the people to have it before it was called ghost og although I’m pretty sure there is one vender with it on strainly or who was , love the plant but she can’t hold her self up so I topped her multiple times and am now training the new growth onto and around a tomato cage . This would be a horrible training method with most other strains if you could even get them to bend like this but with the ghost and how she stretches it makes for a slightly more compact and way better producing plant. Normally people top her and use the grid method with a sea of green but I’m bored and limited by plant counts.

The three-fingered leaves are supposed to be, like, a tell-tale marker of legit Ghost/Skywalker/OG-in-general etc etc, right?
I’ve actually seen a few “elites”/strains with the three finger leaves, at least on the younger clones.

Maple ridge rockstar throws many 3 prong leaves on smaller clones

I seen fitandfriendlyfarmer on ig who has the og Hindu and og skywalker that if your og doesn’t throw fat and 5-7 blades/fingers then your og cut ain’t happy. He’s a self proclaimed prolific og kush breeder

They all do throw more 3s then most but they definitely grow 5s and 7s also

@WVMountainGhost I’m not quite sure I understand the question , ghost og is very stretchy in general and the whole plants tends to want to fall over . I take healthy tops when cloning I know some prefer bottoms and others don’t have a preference. I was saying the og lines tend to grow more 3s then other strains but that they still grow plenty of normal 5s and 7s also, esp the 92 aka ogks, but that one is not very floppy at all
When you say floppy it makes me think of the sfv og which is a very floppy and more bushy structured plant that is a s1 from the ghost cut.

Yeah you can top her multiple times and still see threw her more then most plants and as soon as you stop training they try to go straight up to the light.
Once you figure out what she wants and she is happy her growth in veg is almost frustrating for those trying to keep moms

That’s not a bad thing in my case, the tight quarters that they’re living in kinda trains them all to go straight up (packed in like sardines 
). But I need to watch node spacing. repeated chopping still gains height on the main structure, since there always has to be a growth node left behind. Just means I need to make sure to start a new mom of her sooner than other plants. Not a bad insurance to keep her around anyway.

Yep the abc’s always be cloning. Once I have a good new cut rooted I’ll aggressively top the mom down and it’s not to long before it’s bushing right back up again

I’ve also noticed she dosent root as fast or easy as some strains so it’s good to make sure you have a backup and not count on unrooted clones , I’ve had them root super fast and I’ve had them all fail , when happy and healthy no issues but the slightest amount of stress and she cops a major attitude
