41 Ghosts by Green Rose Seeds
Gelato 41 × Ghost OG × Ruderalis
41 Ghosts is a hybrid cultivar developed by Green Rose Seeds, notable for its autoflowering traits derived from a ruderalis heritage. It combines aspects of indica and sativa genetics, aiming to provide complex flavors and reliable harvests.
Appearance and Morphology
41 Ghosts typically grows into a compact to medium-height autoflower, usually between 60 and 100 centimeters indoors. Early growth features thick petioles and moderately broad leaves, suggesting an indica influence. The plant exhibits symmetrical branching, suitable for SCROG training, with nodes that tighten under high light intensity. Flower formation begins around weeks three to four from germination, often presenting a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Mature buds are medium-dense to dense, with pointed bracts and potentially pseudopurple coloration if exposed to cooler temperatures late in flower. Trichome coverage is significant, with dense glandular heads on sugar leaves and larger fan leaves.
The buds, post-drying, usually display a green or lime base color, sometimes with lavender flecks from cooler finishing temperatures. Calyxes remain tight, and trimming is efficient due to low leaf content. Average dry weight shrinkage is typical for dense, terpene-rich autoflowers.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of 41 Ghosts is described as a blend of dessert and OG characteristics, featuring notes of sweet cream and confectionary scents mixed with pine, citrus peel, and a subtle diesel undertone. Initial grinding may release an ice cream-like aroma that evolves into lemon zest and cracked black pepper. Secondary notes include damp earth, juniper, and a faint fuel scent. The flavor profile on inhale is smooth, offering sweet cream, vanilla wafer, and hints of berry or stone fruit, depending on the phenotype. A citrus oil flavor, akin to lemon curd, emerges mid-palate, followed by a lingering pine-gas finish.
Aroma intensity is considered medium-high to high, making carbon filtration advisable in enclosed grow spaces. The bouquet is described as both welcoming and assertive, appealing to those who enjoy dessert profiles with an evergreen and gas foundation.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, the hybrid heritage suggests a balanced experience. The indica and sativa influences likely contribute to both physical relaxation and mental stimulation. As an autoflower with ruderalis genetics, effects may be more nuanced and potentially less intense than photoperiod counterparts, with a focus on balanced, accessible effects suitable for various times of day.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The THC content for 41 Ghosts is reported to be between 15% and 25%, with CBD levels below 1%. Dominant terpenes are hypothesized to include limonene and beta-caryophyllene, contributing citrus and peppery notes, respectively. Myrcene and linalool are likely present as supporting terpenes, adding complexity and floral-candy nuances. In phenotypes leaning towards OG genetics, alpha-pinene and terpinolene may contribute pine and gassy aromas. Total terpene content in modern autoflowers commonly ranges from 1.0% to 2.5% by dry weight.
Growing Characteristics
41 Ghosts is designed as a reliable autoflower for growers with limited space or those seeking quick harvests, typically maturing in 70 to 90 days from seed. The ruderalis genetics provide photoperiod independence and contribute to a shorter life cycle, along with increased tolerance to cooler temperatures. Indica and sativa genetics influence bud density, plant structure, and resin production. The strain is suitable for indoor cultivation, finishing between 60 and 100 cm without training, and its symmetrical branching makes it amenable to SCROG setups. It is also noted for good resin density and efficient trimming yields.
Origins and Lineage
41 Ghosts was developed by Green Rose Seeds, a breeder known for combining modern dessert genetics with high-performance ruderalis lines. Its heritage is a three-part mix of ruderalis, indica, and sativa, indicating an autoflowering hybrid. While Green Rose Seeds has not officially disclosed the parent strains to protect proprietary genetics, the name strongly suggests a lineage involving Gelato 41 and Ghost OG, stabilized with a vigorous ruderalis donor. This breeding strategy aims to integrate the speed and reliability of autoflowers with the complex terpene profiles and desirable traits of photoperiod strains.
