Thanks mate, we've designated a lot of samples for spannabis, so will check the thread and think on it, cheers
Cheers aridbud,
We're trying to arrange getting all of the 2014 catalogue fully analysed there by alpha-cat, including the original AF parents and comparisons between phenotypes, Should be very interesting.
Peace!

Amazing work mitch! Beautiful pictures and plants!

Thanks man,
We are probably looking at mid-late spring for the first release, of the first part of our new catalogue, hopefully just in time for the outdoor season, and then we should have a subsequent release again in Autumn time.
All the best, Mitch

Just read through this entire thread. This is hands down the best thing I've read on the forum ever, and I've done a lot of reading. Your tale is an inspiring one. I think what you are doing is something every grower should embrace. I do not grow AF ( I have grown LR2 and have had photoperiods with AF hidden deep in there genetics) but feel when your wares are available i am going to start. Your passion is extremely apparent and I wish you more than the best of luck.
Cheers to you Mitch and Tim who are living the dream.

Springtime is finally here, so in an attempt to tame my ghostly whiteness away and blend in a bit better, i've had a couple of days shirt free!
here's some random dry and live bud shots:
Steel city blues Auto (purple pheno)
Some sour bubbly dry (bubblegum pheno)
And some sour c dry, super high density this strain
cheers all. mitch!

Hey guys,
We recently submitted our new strains for analysis. It was during Spannabis and we met a very helpful company called alpha-cat, if you would like to know more information please see their website. http://www.alpha-cat.org/
They do a very easy home testing kit, which we will be trying out soon. However the guys themselves did all the testing for us. They ran a competition and held a cup over the Spannabis weekend, where people, private or seedbanks were invited to have their gear tested.
We neglected to be entered into the cup, as although we had high hopes for the new strains, we were anxious. (we should have been braver)
Needless to say these are good, very professional people and should testing be something your interested in, don't hesistate to get in touch with them.
To give you an idea, there were 50 entrants for the cup, and the top 3 looked something like this for flowers:
1st place - 1º Philosopher Seeds SSSDH – 25,5% THC
2º DNA Genetics – Skywalker OG – 22,5% THC
3º DNA Genetics – Top Secret – 20,5% THC and many more were tied at 3rd place at this percentage. (I don't want to reveal anything yet, but we do have a project that they tested at 20.5%, it's in it's early development stages.
Some factors to bare in mind about the results of our strains. We pollinated all the best plants from each strain, so the most resinous, strongest plants were out of the equation. The ones we submitted were unpollinated and just harvested when ripe as any 'normal' grower would.
Bare in mind also this is only one test, and we plan to continue testing multiple times throughout the course of our projects.
We also decided to test different phenotypes of plants to see if there was a marked difference. Specifically between Green and Purple phenotypes. To me I always thought they were of the same quality, but Tim is not a coloured bud fan, so it was to settle a private dispute , as well as be informative for everyone else.
We also had the original auto parents tested, so we could see what kind of improvements had actually been made.
Mephisto Strains now at F4 for release soon:
Chem City Blues (Green phenotype) - 19.5% thc
Chem City Blues (Purple phenotype) - 18.5% thc
Sour Bubbly - 19.5% thc
Sour Crack - 19.5% thc
Steel City Blues (Green phenotype) - 17.5% thc
Steel City Blues (Purple phenotype) - 16.5% thc
24 Carat - 15% thc
(sadly during all the pre-spannabis commotion we forgot to submit Hubbabubbasmelloscope)
.................................................. ..................
Mephisto Auto parent results (our autos we used for breeding to photoperiods for current projects):
Our current projects range anything from 1-3 years in development.
P.I - Purple indica - 7% thc
W.W - White walker - 6.5% thc
G.W.W - Giant White walker - 10% thc
O.D - orange diesel - 18.5% thc
O.S.S - old skool sativa - 6% thc
O.D and G.W.W where used in any auto work last summer.
.................................................. ...............
We also had some F1 af x non-af projects tested.
Toof Decay - 18.5%
Triangle - 14.5%
For the above F1 projects, they were lightly seeded in order to continue on the projects @f2, any buds that didn't contain seeds were mixed together, but could have come from a seeded plant. These plants also went well past maturity to ensure the seeds were as ripe as possible.
.................................................. .............
Interestingly as well, I was expecting some CBD , but all strains had less than 1%.
As I say, it's one test from one round, but it's a good basis to work from.
but all in all, we are very happy boys here on the farm.
Cheers, Mitch

Yeowza, mitch!!
I'll look into that. Never had our strains tested. Either too much bother, too much $$$.
Maybe now w/ alpha...it's doable!!
Nice tshirt, btw. There's a classifieds section here....I haven't gotten any inquiries from IT'S LEGAL IN COLORADO tee's....but maybe you'll sell a few!!
Nice looking Mephisto Genetic buds!!!

Thanks mate,
We will give the tests a try as soon as we have a moment (maybe end of summer!)
The guys are setting up a lab in Spain too so I'm told. (Not much use for you chaps across the pond, but)
Those T-shirts were 'custom' made by us. We had a small order of T-shirts we had professionally printed go MIA in the mail.
If there's enough interest in T-shirts, I'll get a larger batch made.
Hope everything is good with you, the season is nearly upon us, have a productive one
