Fake or actual lack of supply doesn't make them any better than others.

I'll stick with breeders that don't make you feel like you have to win a contest to grow some of their product.

I don't get all the hype over strains. So much of the stuff these days is so similar just different names. Chucking this with that and charging insane prices for seeds. But as long as people act as if each new strain is the best thing since sliced bread there will be a market for overpriced, overhyped, cannabis strains. But they won't be getting any of my money. I make my own crosses. It's not that hard.

Over 16,000 posts in this thread. Lots of people making crosses as good or better than all these hyped up brands out there.

Chuckers paradise......

crosses you have made,or things you want to make..... I'll start with a few...of the things I work.. And mad respect,to the folks that have grown these.. Yoga flame (fire alien kush x plat.bubba/jo og) Candy grape og(Candydrop x stomper og) Antidote kush(rp's og x force og) Dessert breath...

The fact people are scrambling for those expensive ass drops blows my mind. The fact they do it for autos just doesn't compute at all. Sounds like a bunch of big plant haters. Little plant lovers? Idk you pick.

Plenty out there that you don't have to jump through hoops to get. To each their own.

Mephisto has done a great job with their genetics and have popped up as one of the top auto companies. Part of it is because of the hype they and everyone else create around drops. They could easily release enough for everyone with these limited releases. Just saying I'm not ok with that. All good. Like to see some of their stuff you finish. :weed:

i hear ya
ive grown their stuff for a few years now used to be easier to get and cheaper once they opened up a canada distribution site. its def crazy now. i agree. they hype it up and make it a whole thing to get their seeds which sucks but their genetics are really nice. so im more willing to jump through a few hoops to get my hands on some. plus they give nice freebies and generally you order 3 seeds you get 4 or 5
at least my experiences before.

lol. youve never grown mephisto autos
i generally have one or 2 in my mom room. so at least its producing something from all that power usage. its the only breeder ill grow autos from.
expensive? thats kinda relative to your wallet
i paid 150 for 9 seeds.
ill prob get 12-15
and 7 freebies
so really 150 for 20 seeds isnt all that bad
again this thread wasnt asking people why they hate autos. lol
i used to grow autos when the joint dr first brought them into the mainstream growing strains like the chronic, ogre, lowryder etc
they were alot of dissapointment with some diamonds in the rough. then after i 'gave up' on autos a buddy gave me 3 seeds of ghost toof and gold glue. and i was sold on mephisto.
i dont go out of my way to grow autos or do auto runs. just one or two making some nice buds in the mom room.

No I haven't. I just don't see the point. I understand it could be good but you have no control over the plants lifespan. If you have any kind of probs you will be setback in yield and nothing you can do when it decides to flower.

I spent a lot of money on seeds to have my own bank. I haven't spent one dollar on autos but I do see a lot of strains I would buy it they weren't autos. Sure they look appetizing but it doesn't fit my mold. $150 for 9 advertised seeds is a lot. When you add in freebies and potential overfill of course it looks like a great deal on paper but your main money was spent on the original pack/s. I'd rather have more of what I ordered than extra stuff that is given away. Especially if those are tester strains and not part of their own line up for sale. Not that they might be bad but I'd rather have a proven product so to speak.

$100 for 8, 10, or 12 seeds fem or reg is the max for me. The most I ever paid was 150 for 6 fems and that I wouldn't ever do again no matter the strain. Usually I pay about 50-75 a pack for 10-12 fems or 10-20 regs. Those also usually come with an overage and freebies.

hey i hear ya but to each their own. i like growing autos because they are fun and its like a game for me to see if i can really make them produce. im not counting on them to smoke or anything. more just filling some space and making some bud to hold me over if i need it. or just something a little diff to smoke/grow

ive cloned autos and had the clones produce an ounce each as well as the main plant 6oz
always testin shit and pushin boundries. its how you learn to be a better more verstile grower.

personally. id pay 250 for 12 seeds from certain old school breeders like dj short.
theres a reason everyone begs me for clones come spring time. its all about good genetics and generally you pay for it.

Well they surely aren't more closely related to large tho. I guess you could say average to smallish.

i run shorty gorilla tents. basment is low ceiling so i cant really grow monsters anyways. i can yeild the same off an auto as i do a photo. all depends on strain and how well you did vegging it etc

I wouldn't say yield but just size. Yield is a lot more dependent on strain as well.

let us turn you in the ways of the auto.
lol. ill post a journal on one for ya maybe change your mind. i know ive seen a few pics from 28 3 5 that would put many photos to shame. i was on the same page as you before with autos. run a few from a good breeder and it may just change your mind.
also great outdoors as they are ready far earlier than the crop hunters.
there are also 'xl' autos with a 'built in veg time'

As someone who has done both I can’t imagine I would be that impressed. There’s some great auto growers on here with great looking plants. So I’ve seen them.

Plus I’m not waiting for a “drop” this guy is sitting on a ton of seeds making bank off these “drops”

I don’t hate the player I hate the game.
