Anyone else tired of waiting for mephisto to open their US store again?

This is a Mephisto Alien vs Triangle at 70 days. A bunch of even colas with no training or topping. I grew 6 or 7 just like this and they were all identical. Each one yielded 4 oz plus of rock hard fruity nugs. The THC (according to Mephisto) was 22%. The reason so many of us geek out over Mephisto is they were a sure thing there for a few years. Dinafem too. I can't think of another auto seed company that came close. I experimented with HSO, RQS, Seedsman, ILGM...all were hit or miss. I'm in the middle of a photo-period grow and it's like 3 1/2 to 4 months from start to finish. Too long... Autos take an average of 10 to 11 weeks and are a no-brainer for a novice grower if you have reliable seeds. My time is valuable and I don't want to waste it experimenting on crap genetics. The Night Owl lineage passes the sniff test. I have some on the way. I'm hoping they are as reliable as Mephisto were. If they are I'll buy 100's of them..

I've grown a handful of night owl and very much liked them, I put them over Meph before they started getting impossible. I am hoping a year later he's even further along.

I got 5 diff packs on the way, very excited to pop them all in a few weeks.

The amount of bad information that gets posted here in the autoflower section drives me f'ing Crazy ! I used to care more and try to help people out on RIU but it gets really frustrating when it gets contradicted so much by guys with no to little auto experience. I've typed out tons of reply's here and just end up deleting them before posting. It's just not worth the trouble.

Don't get so frustrated man... its annoying when trolls spew a bunch of shit... but I'm sure the people you are trying to help appreciate it!

No I have not grown any of that strain.

@Zogs if I'm one of the guys posting bad info, apologies! I've only posted from what I have seen. People with a lot of experience or knowledge should get some stickies around here. I also think that maybe part of the issue is that autos is a somewhat rapidly developing field. There is a lot of old info out there, when I search info on them, lots of 2011-2012 links pop up, which is a huge failing on googles part IMO and leads to a lot of bad info being repeated.

If guys who are on the front lines and really get it, don't help us noobs, then bad info continues to be passed. Maybe a mod would let you do a legit write up and then could clean this section up a bit.

That's a lot to ask for everyone though.

Problem is until a few years ago autos wernt really good for like 20 years so the bad stigmas are stuck to them. More people on this site grow photos so they will spread the bad info and it catches like wildfire. Guys that don't even grow them will make topics in this sectiin and General just to keep the ball rolling. That's why a site dedicated to autos like AFN is a great place. It's growers that know and SHOW the reality of autos. There is no point to really try here cause these photo guys will outnumber and outspew garbage to keep up defending autos. I've started growing in 12' and went to autos in 18'. I'll defend autos like its my life now. I love them and the ones I've grown so far EASILY rival some of the photos I've grown and put some to shame. There is no real room to teach here, only to find a couple of good autos growers and enjoy the company.

First time I've used a tent. Used a closet in the past. 2x4x5 and I've got 4 autos in there. They do so great that I should have stopped at 3. Getting crowded at 5th week. 2 Mephisto Fantasmo Express, a Toothless Alien and a Jack Herer original auto from Fast Buds. I've grown the Fantasmo before and did great. My favorite was Supernatural OG from Mephisto but I've not seen any seed around for a while. I love autos! I've used Floralicious plus and that stuff is something else. Can tell a difference and have a growth spurt a day or two after using the first time.

I'll get some photos when it gets a little bigger. The weird leaves look like cotyledon leaves. I pulled the first few off but decided to leave them alone. About 12 inches tall now, bushy and has about 10/12 of those leaves on it.
I've been lst, just like my others. I've got to pull it all out to switch out hoods and add fan. Never had a heat problem in closet but do in this tent.

Big pic at top is Jack Herer with weird leaves. First 2 are Toofless Alien,same plant, Potted in solo cups same day as JH and transferred to blgger pot a week apart. Not great pics. I usually use my digital camera but battery is dead. Not good with operating phone or tablet. I'm a boomer.lol Toofless was put in solo cup 9/21 so I think it's doing dam good. Pics are bad because that Toofless has buds all over but can't see well here.

My ac infinity fan & filter were delivered today. Hood is way more heavy than the little winged one I had. Cheap folks didn't send me any vents so I'll make a trip to Lowe's tomorrow. I had a little bathroom type cheap fan with 4 inch vents but it wasn't doing enough. 600 hps puts out a lot of heat but I'm staying with it. I've read about LEDs but they seem to have their problems too and hps has always worked well for me and electric bill is not that bad. I'm through spending money except for some organic bloom nutes of some kind. Use super soil on bottom half of pots and I've got a closet full of stuff to make the super soil. Some of it is 3 or 4 years old but must still be good.

Anyone get their meph seeds yesterday? I checked the store around dinner and it was all sold out already.


At this point they aren't worth watching or following IMO.

I am on night shift this week... I checked their site when I woke up for work and it wasn't any different than any other day... so they either didn't have a sale or I completely missed it.

It was noon est. and not even sure how long as 19 minutes in i gave up trying to get 3 seeds since everything was selling oit between the broken web page neesing to be re-freshed and getting the seeds into the cart. The genetics are good, but it is not worth it to buy from them directly just for a few extra seeds. Either find a seed bank that carries them or try someone else.
