Those are some of the sweetest autos I have ever seen. The commercial seed people always tout photos like this but it gives me hope that I too can follow in the steps of skilled growers as yourself.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates, we've still been working flat out though.

Here's the F1 grow out of a new automatic in the making - It's our 24 carat (based on sour boggle from BOG) crossed with BOG's Sour Strawberry Kush - SSK x 24 carat.

Today is day 48 from sprout/ Day 33 of 12/12 - They're still essentially photoperiods until the F2 generation.

50 were started in 1.5 liter pots, they were transplanted up into 5 liter pots and put into flower on day 15 from sprout. Then at day 25 the best 16 were transplanted again up into 12 liter pots.

I've selected and pollinated the best 2 tonight.

To me these are coming along beautifully, even if i do say so myself.
Very oily, Aromas of candy strawberry dankness, pink hues are starting to appear within the flowers. Squat, fast, lovely and indica, should make great meds. Just another 3 generations to work through. Should be available in late 2017/early 2018 if everything goes smoothly.

Cheers!

Thanks Mitch @Mephisto what an awesome thread, best thing I've read in years !!!

I'm new to the auto flowering section so I missed these postings through the years but spent this past weekend reading all and its hard to believe this thread isn't a sticky here as its by far the most intresting and influential stories + tutorials I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing anywhere. Its encouraged me to wanna give Auto's a try !


Wishing you and crew the best

Give them a try, the Alien v Triangle is a great introduction, super potent with a decent yield.

I've grown out around 10 Mephisto strains, and not one has disappointed. Some are small, some are big, but always fire. I've also tried a few other brands that don't come close, lackluster by comparison. These guys do the work, and are good at it. They have so many strains it's hard to keep up. More set to drop soon.

I posted my comment in Roasty's thread, but it should have been posted here. I didn't feel that my Fast buds even my Nirvana autos turned out as good as Roasty's, Autos don't give you the margin for error that photo plants do in recovery from Fox farm fuck ups. I grabbed a pay pal account and perused their web site. Some stock was out but picked out my 3 strains to try next grow season. Their shipping was excellent on this side of the Atlantic, and I like the stickers too. Freebies will be included with the Sour Bubbly, Triangle Kush and Deep Blue C. thanks guys.

Cool! Yes for sure, there's a learning curve with autos, and recovery time can be non-existent depending on the situation, but.. saying that, once you're dialed in with your method and products after a couple of runs, it's pretty much plain sailing, rinse and repeat in order to get some nice nugs in a quick time frame.
All the best with them,
Cheers Mitch
