Ghost Ship Strain

Colorado Seeds brings together Purple Kush and Gupta Kush into powerful Indica strain – Ghost Ship. It boasts a strong Kush profile that indicates the upcoming heavy-limbed high. And, indeed, it does deliver a powerful body buzz that could potentially lock users to the couch. In moderation, however, it provides excellent comfort to the stressed-out mind and body.

Medicinal users will find that it is an impressive source of reprieve against mental and physical afflictions. For instance, it could be used to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Meanwhile, its soothing bodily effects release tension from the muscles and relieve it of aches and pains.

Of course, nothing short is expected from the offspring of a pure Indica and another that leans toward that spectrum. Both deliver a lasting relaxation with notable medicinal benefits. Not only that, both perform well in the grow room.

Effects

Beginning from the temples, a tingling sensation later creeps in through the back of the neck before moving to the lower extremities. It plants a soothing heaviness in the limbs that does not weigh the body during the first 30 minutes to an hour. Instead, what greets users at the onset is a gentle euphoria that improves the mood.

Users often feel pensive and enlightened especially as it continues to uplift the spirits. Encouraging an innate sense of happiness, it cradles users in a protective cloud of positivity. At the same time, it prepares users for the upcoming physical buzz.

At the comedown, the heaviness from the beginning intensifies. It soothes the body, kneading it free of tension. In all likelihood, the newfound freedom from physical discomfort will undo the stress accumulated throughout the day.

Moderation is a must though. It boasts up to 20% THC which could be too overwhelming for beginners. Seasoned enthusiasts, who are accustomed to its immense psychoactive compounds, will find that it is a good end-of-day treat.

Fragrance

Ghost Ship is quite pungent. In fact, growers may need to install carbon filters during the flowering period to keep its strong skunk overtones from spreading to the neighbors. Its dried and cured buds, however, keep a distinct but lowkey profile of earth.

Flavors

Strong flavors of Kush are immediately noticeable in a single toke of Ghost Ship. It could induce some coughing since it tends to be very scratchy, but it does not last for long. The smoke counteracts it with a rich earthy after with small hints of skunk.

Adverse reactions

The usual red, irritated eyes and cottonmouth are a common accompaniment to Ghost Ship use. Other offshoots such as dizziness and paranoia are quite rare but will develop when one consumes too much of the strain. Most of the time, however, users only experience a headache that simply goes away on its own. To be on the safe side, start with small dosages and increase by small increments to prevent the potent bud from becoming too overwhelming.

Medical

Ghost Ships comes with many benefits despite potentially being classified as a recreational strain. The same uplifting high that it delivers at the onset provides comfort to patients experiencing chronic stress, psychological distress, and emotional sorrows by managing its symptoms. For instance, it clears the mind of negativity, melts away worries, and reduces the overwhelming dread that many overworked users feel. In this way, it provides temporary but effective management.

It also has impressive analgesic and muscle-relaxing properties. It relieves different types of aches and pains while soothing the muscles, so it does not contract. Because of this, it could be of great use against arthritis, joint pains, and cramps. Meanwhile, its subtle invigoration removes the tiredness and fatigue of the day.

After 40 minutes to an hour, a drowsiness makes the eyes droop with a deep-seated heaviness. Its sedating properties enhance the quality and quantity of sleep so patients with insomnia can rest in peace. Moreover, compared to OTC medicine, its effects do not come with adverse reactions.

Growing

Ghost Ship is an impressive strain. It has a sturdy frame characterized by a thick stalk that is not easily fazed by the elements However, this does not guarantee an easy grow. For it to develop into a beautiful plant, it must first be given proper care and attention.

One thing to remember about Ghost Ship is that its roots take time to develop during the initial or seedling. Thus, growers must be careful when it comes to watering or feeding. A little over excess could drown the young plant and kill it. A way to avoid this is by dipping a small stick into the soil and determining the water levels through the amount of moisture left on it.

With regard feeding and nutrition, there is little to no deviance with the recommended practices, but it must be slow. Introducing too many nutrients could overwhelm or cause harm to the plant such nutrient burn. However, once it begins to develop a better root system. It is likely that the plant will be able to withstand such accidents.

Growers may then apply advanced growing techniques such as the Sea of Green to enhance yields.
