At long last I have now managed to complete my three manors.

I have included a garden with each and a greenhouse at Heljarchen. I have planted a Creep Cluster plant in each circle of earth in the gardens, (11 per garden), in the large rectangular planters in the greenhouse, and also in the pots. In total I have planted probably about 53 Creep Clusters.

I inspect their progress everytime I return to each manor and they show apparent growth.

Can anyone tell me exactly how long it takes before I can harvest?

Also, how many Creep Cluster is harvested per plant?

I decided to do this on the basis of some information that the Creep Cluster respawns more quickly in the cultivated environments, (gardens and greenhouses), than it does inthe "natural environments". What is the difference in respawn times?

Second query - I threw some Slaughterfish Eggs into the fish hatchery with a view to making it easier to obtain Slaughterfish Scales which seem quite rare in the open world.

Thing is, the artificially created Slaughterfish are "friendly" and won't chase you into the shallows where you can swipe at them with a weapon.

So how the hell do you harvest them?

Also similarly, with respect to Creep Cluster, you can only throw one egg in the pond, so does that mean one fish? If so it seems hardly worth the effort.

ok. plants grow in 2 (maybe3) days in your garden and after harvest they regrow after same amount of time (2-3 days)
i think from 2 to 5 but i have long since i harvested
normal plants and most things respawn in either 10 days or 30
to kill the ass biter use arrows or you could try some lightning spells or spell cloaks
also in fish hatchery you get 3-5 fishes per item put in and maybe they respawn but i am not sure about respawn

You get 5 Creep Cluster per plant. (Also 5 Scaly Pholiota and 3 Mora Tapinella).

Still waiting for some maturing creep cluster. Not happened yet - still only just showing above ground.

Good news on the slaughterfish though. I managed to kill 2 in my hatchery and claim the scales.

Only two seem to have materialised - is that normal?

If I want some more what do I do? I have tried to add more eggs but the message I'm getting is that I can't add any more of the same type, which suggests that it is already populated.

Mine have never respawned after I killed the first two or three. Id love to know its not bugged out and they'll respawn but its been..well....years in game time and RL too.

Ive always meant to try staying away from the manor for a loooooong time to see if that did anything but Inventory management and loot dispersal always drags me home.heheh.
Everthing else respawns. Garden etc....although after I turned all the attacking bandits to ash ive never seem em again come to think about it...hmmm.

I've established that only the creep cluster planted in the pots and planters in the house with the greenhouse can be harvested. It also readily respawns here too.

Forget the other locations, even where you picked it in the first place, because it seems you can't really avoid returning to those areas which effectively prevents the respawn.

Off each respawn/harvest in the greenhouse you get 5 for the price of 1 any way so happy days. It saves all that effort.

I planted wheat where creep cluster wouldn't work, but I'm overwhelmed now with the stuff. Can any one suggest a rare ingredient that I can perhaps replace it with?

i just plant whatever ingredient i have low(ish) (less than 100 at last time i plant, now it would be if less than 200) but now i am pretty done with alchemy (made it legendary ~70 times) and since i don't use poisons (don't need to), and don't even use potions now (or use like once in a real month or two) so i not even harvesting now.

You are obviously at a high level. I am still crawling at around level 67 and boy is it slow going now!

I'm still on my very first playthrough. I have owned this game for around 4 years but only just started playing it having bought the PS4 Legendary Special Edition.

I am aiming for 100 and as high as possible in each skill perks and all. Then I want a rest! Perhaps play a bit of golf or Assassin's Creed if it's raining!

That may come sooner than expected unfortunately as I am now experiencing a bug in the game which hampers free movement of my character. I fear this may be catastrophic eventually and will prevent me progressing further. I had this sort of problem with Oblivion, (the A Bomb Bug) and it was so bad I ended up abandoning the PS3 version, which I had spent upwards of 900 hours playing, and resolved to play the PC version, which the player has a little more control over.

I haven't heard of anyone else having problems as such. I was assured that the Playstation 3 and 4 versions were solid and stable, but I'm finding out different the hard way. It really [&@%!] me off because I know Bethesda don't give a [&@%!]. At least with the PC version, the ability to utilise the console commands and the help of the playing community, you have more confidence.

I'd be interested if anyone else has had similar experiences.
