Mephisto Genetics

The CDLC is just an all around great strain. The Chem traits are very satisfying. It's a great medical as well as recreational cultivar. I've got 1 that I just transplanted as well as a Ripley's OG which is another great Indica dominant strain. That KS5000 is plenty of light for 6 autoflowers. I am on a tight budget and I've been running a Szhlux 400w Bar Style for 2 years. It's only got LM281B diodes, but, it has good light spread using 9 bars. I have regularly run 6 autos. Right now i have 6 3g pots of flowering autos plus a couple smaller pots with photo clones going under this light. You should have no problems. Just make sure you have a good fan. Good luck!

6 autos and clones at the same time is pretty impressive. do you run photos to flower between autos? i'm always curious about the kind of strategies people use with space and budget limitations. i definitely want to run photos eventually and doing both with the same light is interesting.

It’s pretty simple actually. If you have two tents (1 veg and 1 flower), throw a couple autos in the veg tent and let them go. Autos are way easier to grow great smoke vs the work required to find the pheno you want from a pack of 15 regular seeds.

It's easy to run 6 in 3 gallon pots. If I had 4 in 5 gallon buckets I would probably run 1 or 2 in 3 gallons squeezed in there. I dont have a huge space so i like to run what i can. The clones are from some Blueberry Hashplants I'm flowering in a 3x3 under my 2 old 100w Quantum Boards. I plan on getting a better light when i get the money. This light was only $129 with $20 off 2 years ago. 500w would be perfect in a 3x3 tent. I'm running the 400w light in an old shower that's basically 2x4 and I have run photos before there. I just vegged those photos in there. You can get away with less wattage running autos though because the DLI is still up there with 18-20 hrs of light.

ok this is great. you're really using the space you have. if i get another space or tent going for veg or clones i don't need too much to get going. thanks for posting your setup, it gives me some ideas already.

I agree with @s4cruiser on running a couple autos in your Veg space. I have done this and it gives you some smoke fast and wastes no space. I plan on doing that exact setup on my next run. I'll go ahead and start some photos in solo cups a couple weeks before the autos are done and get a jump on things. If I don't have the new light yet, I'll switch lighting at the flip. The great thing about growing cannabis is that there's no 1 way to do it. Have fun! It's a great hobby.

Does Mephisto have any "skunky" strains?

I had 1 freebie of Northern Cheese Haze x Livers BX1 that had a fairly skunky smell in the jar. TBH, I haven't had any auto strains that really had that down in the grunge funk like the old Skunk and Christmas Tree photos from years ago. Hell, I haven't had very many funky ass photos either in years. Mephisto has several strains with good 'Kush' flavor and I got a Fairy Cake last run that smelled like a Pine tree. But, the rest smelled like freaking candy like most newer strains I've grown. I wonder if breeders are purposefully toning down the funk on weed because of people wanting stealth grows. So many autos have weak smell. Dude if you find a good auto Skunk, let us know.

Not Mephisto but Sweet cream by expert seeds was the skunkiest auto I’ve grown. Smelt like a dead skunk mixed with hot ass!

I keep waiting on Daz from Night Owl to do a collaboration with someone like Humboldt CSI. There are some old school strains from them that could use an auto version. Mitch and Tim at Mephisto should bust out an old school line. They just dropped a Purple Haze cross so they are messing with some old school genes. Let's start a write in ," We want the Funk" campaign. I'm gonna get on their Reddit page and put a bug in Phil's ear.
