Has anyone grown mephisto genetics?
Due to covid my seeds haven’t come in and won’t in a timely fashion so I traded some photo periods from Barney’s farm and Humboldt seeds for four mephisto seeds.
It’s sorta exciting for me I hear it’s great genetics maybe some of the be the autoflower genetics in the market right now.
So I’ve grown a couple other larger names in order of preference for autoflowers.
Fast buds
Sensi seeds
Crop king
Barney’s farm
Royal Queen seeds
But mephisto genetics are expensive and sell out fast so this is a good sample for me.
To boot the local guy who traded me has a customer that grows organic so we are going to trade maybe a zip for a zip once we are both cured and done to see if we prefer one way over the other. Since he’s growing the double grape strain.
I got some freebies from with a Mephisto order, Forgotten Cookies x Forum Stomper. Probably about 12-14 inches tall, fat dense cola type buds. Fantastic smoke! I have some 3 Bears OG and some 4 Assed Monkey that I’m going to grow very soon.
I also have several strains from Night Owl that I’m chompin’ at the bit to get started!
Short plants then eh, I will have to go low on the lighting and make sure I get decent node spacing out of them when in veg. Sometimes I really crank it up even in early veg so that I can control the height.
Mephisto is considered by most to be the best autoflower breeder out there. They spend years perfecting a strain before releasing it, and their potency is unsurpassed in many of their strains. You can find a whole section dedicated to them over at the autoflower network.
Once you factor in the generous amounts of freebies they throw in, you will find that their price per seed is actually lower than most companies out there. In the last release, someone calculated it to be something like $5 or $6 a seed.
There are several seed banks that carry them, so even if you aren’t able to purchase directly from them during a release, most of those seed banks will have them in stock for a while afterward.
As with all autoflowers, the key to maximum yield is to push them hard during the vegetative stage. But remember - you can always grow multiple small plants as well.
In addition to the above, if you want taller plants, use a Metal Halide bulb during the vegetative state instead of LED. If you download their catalog you will also find individualized grow tips for many of their strains.
I want to check them out but all their sites seem to be down (until somewhere in september) and seedsman and seed city are out of stock of EVERYTHING from them oh well I’ve been eyeballing blackskull( decent genetics but super low price), sweet seeds( for their devil series), and heavyweight seeds( for their high yeild autos)
They pretty much keep the websites offline except for when the store is open. Sign up for their newsletter and you will be notified when sales are happening. You can also follow them on Reddit as well as the Mephisto Customer Service thread at the autoflower network. There are also a few “(insert country name here) store re-opening” threads at AFN. I believe they said there is going to be another release in about a month.
These seed banks currently have stock of some of their strains:
Seed Cellar
Harvest Mutual
Tree Stars
I have heard of sweet seeds and heavyweight but havent grown their genetics.
Monster genetics is meant to be huge auto flowers and next I’ll try Their Bruce banner, just covid shipping times messed me up as they are still in transit.
Tag me in your auto grows if you want I’m intrigued in genetics thst are grown by good growers sigh good setups.
Browse night owel seeds he works with mephisto
Will do my msnl order came later then I expected so I’m just doing zkittlez and a jack herer from ilgm but my next grow will probably be msnls lemon og, tangerine,and magnum autos unless I have a sudden need to grow a devil cream (which will probably happen I mean just look at it )
So i have 6/7 different strains and i dont want to ruin the plants lol may i ask what medium you used to grow youre mephistos? I currently use F.F and strawberry fields for my autoflowers.
I have a couple Mephisto strains and a bunch of Night Owl strains in the queue for upcoming grows. Mephisto was considered a premier breeder but from what I’ve heard their quality has dropped off a bit. Night Owl is one of the original partners from Mephisto that went out on his own and he was supposedly the the mastermind behind a lot of Mephisto’s crosses. Gonna probably do Double Grape next run.
You know their seeds are good when they sell out in a few hours after the drop. I’ve had nothing but good grows with Mephisto and Ethos. I grab them from NASC
Mephisto’s quality dropped off a bit? I’m calling bullshit on that one! I just finished up a 4 assed monkey and I have a Mephisto’s Wedding that is very close to done, nothing but fire!. Who or wherever that info came from is sadly mistaken.
