Who wants to join in a grow this winter?

Honestly I've never really understood the hype. Don't get me wrong I love some of their work but their original strains are about all. I think almost every breeder has some gems.
Im not bashing as ive not yet been let down, never denied an order, lost money or any bad beans. Im just saying caution is needed now with them cause all the signs of "top must fall first" are happening with them.

Man Bear Alien Pig is 3 bears og x 4 assed monkey. They're getting lazy imo with random free stuff. Why give out f1s of 3 bog x strain that is crossed with 3 bog? Much variety there? I want established strains not guesswork. Makes me wonder why no posts for 2 months untill recently on AFN just to quiet the storm. Wonder did they have a lost genetics issue. After all out of nowhere they did say some originals were beimg retired. So sketchy and lazy. Also Sour Bubbly is like a strain from 15-16. I wonder if those are possibly old seeds they took out as a last resort.
You're such a pessimist... XD Seriously though,if/when they come back and their shit is better than ever,you can pay with a cc and all that,will you be around??? The only places that have anything close to the genetics are night owl,magic,and binary...

I completely agree with what you are saying... But in the end, they were free seeds, so I guess ya can't complain right? I don't know if I will be ordering from them again this year. I already have more seeds than I know what to do with... And I still need to buy my new light. Not sure if I'm getting the fluence... Gavita, or roi-e680.... I ordered some led bulbs for a sunblaze 28 t5 light I already have. I may use it for some seed breeding projects in a separate tent. Idk... But I'll have the light if I need it.

Ha. Slowwwww down there. Night owl only has 3 just released strains and Magic 2 both using Mephisto in their genes. Try not to ride too hard too fast on the hype train.

I don't want to jump on the bashing train yet, but their lack of a response to my 2 emails on their Contact Us page about my 1/3 germ rate on Fugue State and the one surviving plant being the runt of my whole auto grow have gone unanswered (for over 2 weeks on the most recent), which I find tremendously disappointing. Reached out to them on IG yesterday, so I'll see if they get back to me. The runt Fugue State made it and is in early flower now, but so far it's still lagging way behind everything else and looks like it's only going to have about 5 bud sites, compared to the rest of my autos that are peppered with them all over. Same training, environment, soil, etc. on all plants and the lone Mephisto is the only one having these issues. I would like to receive some kind of response from them, even if it's just "Tough shit, bro. Luck of the draw." I have also combed their IG for any recent posts showing Fugue State and they don't seem to have any. I'm wondering if there are known issues with that cross that they have chosen not to acknowledge.

I agree communication has been shitty for me the past couple months from Mephisto. But I’m a sucker for a sale and free stuff lol. I haven’t been disappointed yet either. Worst I’ve had from them were 2/6 not germing. Probably won’t be ordering again anytime soon as I also have more than I know what to do with

Truth is germ rates have been showing up quite abit on AFN on different strains. They just have come back down to earth is all im saying. I maen shit we didn't even het a 4/20 sale. That's nuts to be a seed company and not have that day worked out. They been slacking for sure and only popped in AFN when there was like 7-9 pages of grumbling. I've got mad strains of theirs, about 35 ish if o really had to count so I'm happy from early last year to October last year really. Once this year came it has been a shell of a good company IMO.

Yeah that 420 sale is disappointing AF been looking forward to their new strains for awhile. Let’s see how this plays out I guess. They could be behind the scenes busting their asses or maybe they’re back there trying to get their shit together and stay afloat. Who knows. Yet.

Man ive seen people growing magic seeds and they have all been awsome!!! @Dabber68 grew a Bubba Trouble that was humongous on afn... That's what I like about them,they use Mephisto genetics to make their seeds so you know you're going to get something good as far as growth goes...1565005182235520148101590144465.jpg

So I decided to go with the ROI-e680 instead... It has more intensity ... I can dim it down and keep the light 6 inches off the plants if they are short or I can crank up the power and still get some penetration on plants that are a little taller. View attachment 4374691
If your into a little diy for the frame I’ve got some HLG saber strips that are only a couple months old. 8 bars 960w for about the same price as that. If you haven’t already bought it. You could flower up to a 4x8! And in a 4x4 it would be way more efficient than that roi-e680

I appreciate the offer but I don't really want that powerful of a light... And 4x4 is as big as I really want to go..

No worries just thought I’d ask. You could always dim it but yeah that would be a lot of extra power for nothin.

I’ve got 3 sets of four bars @Frank Nitty! I’ll probably have them in my closet awhile since I’m done selling on eBay. They charge a couple fingers in fees for nothin!

DIY is half the fun in led to me. I've saved a ton of money building my own.
I just want a light that will legit flower a 4x4... Be easy on the electric bill...
And a good spectrum that will produce high quality. Since I hardly ever smoke, quantity doesn't mean as much to me... But I'll admit that I want as much as I can get without making too many sacrifices.
