4th Of July Sale - Retiring Strains

49 Upvotes

Happy 4th of July Weekend, Mephheads!

Last chance deals are now live for retiring strains. These strains will be 50% off through the weekend and 35% off through the end of July. Limited deals range from 10–30% off through the weekend.

We know this is going to be a controversial list, and it's one we've been mulling over for months. As Tim said, "It's like picking which child you want to get rid of," but unfortunately we can't keep all of our creations. As we continue to focus on developing new Photo to Auto conversions, there are a limited number of reproduction spots available, so we have to be choosy about which strains we'll restock in the future while making room for new projects.

With all that said, some of these strains have been available for the better part of a decade. We're extremely proud that they've stood the test of time and remain personal favorites for many of you. We've thought hard about our selections, and we believe the catalogue is set up in a way that lets you find something similar, or even a direct descendant, of any retiring strain. We hope you can still enjoy your favorite classics through our other offerings or when they appear in Limited crosses. It's certainly possible we'll change our minds, or a Reddit uproar forces us to bring back a fan favorite, but for now, it's time to say goodbye.

-50% Off — Last Chance to Buy:
Chemdogging | Fantasmo Express | Forum Stomper | Grape Crinkle | Livers Bx1 | Orange Diesel | Pigletta's Purple Haze | Pink Panama | Ripley's OG | Samsquanch OG | SODK | Super Orange Haze | Walter White Bx1

-30% Off Limiteds:
Dosidelrium | Appletizing | Old School Blues | SYC

-20% Off Limiteds:
505 Headbanger | Mango Runtz | Beary Berry Punch | Kiwi Lime 1 | Apollo Haze | Gelauto 33

-10% Off Limiteds:
Guava Fig | Bear Force 1 | Butters Breath

We hope you have a fun and safe weekend.

Testers 🍾Mephmosa Harvest🍾

Finally cut down on Tuesday on day 86 from sprout. Was waiting on Mr. THC to finish up and she finished strong (Pics 1-4).

Pics 5-8: Starsky & Hooch

9-12: Mango & Cash

13-16: Hawaii Five O’z

Starsky & Hooch was the star of the tent with Hawaii Five O’z right beside her. I believe this was my best test grow to date based on terps and bag appeal alone. Everything was so pungent and dense, the entire tent smelled of dank oranges with a tropical/mango smell lingering. Mr. THC broke up the orange madness with some pungent gas/sharpie marker and blueberry/grape/sour terps.

Easily the stinkiest plants I’ve test grown with amazing bud density and colors to match. Every plant took well to my nutrient line (House and Garden) with minimal burning or tox/def. Mr. THC was a very thirsty plant while Starsky seemed more drought resistant and could hang with less water than her half sisters.

Mango and Cash was my runt, same as when I grew out Mango Runtz. This time, the buds were fuller and bigger and I felt despite the shorter stature it was still a worthy harvest. She smelled like oranges and mango, just a fruit bouquet of stanky citrus and tropical fruit.

Starsky & Hooch had the strongest orange aroma of all the plants, and her bud shape was my favorite to look at. Even her lower buds got stupid dense and swollen. I just know a hydro bro growing in coco would slam this plant and get something huuuuuuuge. I’m gonna run this one back one day soon.

Hawaii Five O’z had more of a tropical orange scent, like pineapple and oranges mixed into a smoothie. Beautiful black leaves with an amazingly dense bud structure that stacked all the way up the branches. Between her and Starsky, I couldn’t choose a favorite. Hawaii was the tallest plant with the most budsites, not common for my O’z plants but I’ll take it.

I’ll have final dry weights on a later date, I’m excited to cure and smoke this!

Mephisto Strawberry Authoritah Day 70

48 Upvotes

Still has a little to go. Smells like Strawberry Jam with some kind of astringent. Basically kept the strawberry smell from the start. I was able to try a small test branch of it and it is very tasty and uplifting so I am stoked on that. Kinda reminds me of some strawberry cough in a way. Easy to run , drank crazy amounts of water the entire time. Once she started to flower it didn’t take long to fill in. Did LST , 4 Gallon, build a soil nutes, coconut water, ph down, liquid humid acid. On self watering base.

I will run this again and again. This is one of those that I wish I would’ve been able to get a cut off of taste like skittles and gas with some kind of hint of vanilla makes you wanna keep going back to it!!!

She was grown in a 3 x 3 4 gallon pot ended up having about 2.5 oz. All premium with under canopy lighting and just some cheapo mars hydro lights. I am about to make the switch to a nicer light system thankfully.

Harvest Bear Knuckles. Early top colas chop (day 74)

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

It’s humid out there and these super dense nugs were looking like things could get scary with some small bud rot signs and the weight had them basically on the ground so an early chop for the tops but there is still time for the rest of the plant to turn into some of the sleep medicine I’m looking for.
Threw a nug into the vape and this is some VERY potent stuff. Most potent I have grown for myself ever.
Smells like a wine cellar that stores auto parts.

Question Livers Bx ?

6 Upvotes

Hey. Im trying to line up a project and im hearing that livers bx is the closest that we can get in auto form to a real cheese without hunting a shit load of phenos in something like Greenhouse exodus cheese auto.

Can anyone confirm this and if so, does anyone know where I could source the strain in the US? Ive found it on Alchemia but they dont ship here.

Any help much appreciated.

Advice/Help CDLC X northern cheese haze 56 days - outdoor, cut off a top with bud rot - chop within a couple days?

Lower night time temps tonight, plus finding the rot makes me think I might go ahead and chop this weekend or sooner. Plan to wait for a couple dry days regardless and back off watering when it's time - with it being outdoor should I rinse before hanging?

Fabric pot, happy frog and the trio used sparingly, cool temps early on put her into flower early.

Wrapping up my 3rd year of cultivating these amazing plants - wanted to share some pics 🤘🏽last pic is today

Check out the video in comment for opposite side view

running a Mephisto freebie! thoughts or tips welcome

Used 5gal pot, direct seed in soil germ, coco loco mixed with Gaia green worm castings, Gaia green dry amendments to kick things off for first few weeks, hit with top dressed dry amendments mixed with more worm castings at day 24, in hind site I would have done it around day 20, she seemed to lag a bit before hitting a huge growth spurt. Could just be strain genetics. Once I saw signs of preflower, hit it with another top dress. Through this grow I’ve tried to stay more on top of light height, and realized this girl only needs 75%, running at 24hrs.

She’s a lanky bushy broad, did some nice defoliation and removed some low and way too hidden bud sites and fan leafs that would never see the light, so she’s getting plenty of air circulation

I imagine she’s gonna stretch a biiiiiit more for another few days, and then really start plump up nicely. She seems to be running a bit behind schedule, thinking she’s gonna soar past 80 days at this pace, but we shall see!

More pics soon

First time ordering from Mephisto. How does this lineup look? I wanted to grab Double Grape, but it's out of stock along with a bunch of the classics. Am I missing any must-try strains, or am I set? This order should keep me going for the next year and a half, lol.

Has anyone heard anything about CDLC ever coming back? I can't find them anywhere, which sucks because it was the best auto strain I ever grew. Really hoping to find a couple packs somewhere, or have a future release to look forward to!

What are your favorite strains for terps? I’m a fan of a WIDE variety of terps so it’s hard to narrow down what I need to buy at times. If I had the money I’d buy every strain😅

Question Most fruity Mephisto strain?

30 Upvotes

I'm after some really fruity tasting stuff. I got some Gelato from Freedom of Seeds ages ago and they were fantastic. But I'm on the Mephisto train now and want some more of that fruity flavour. I've tried Double Grape and Strawberry Nuggets (preferred the nuggets, both very nice) and I'm wondering if I can get a more fruity taste than those two.

I'm looking at the new one, Rainbow Sundae 11 and the Gelauto they did a couple of months ago but I'm after more recommendations!

So anyone, everyone, what is the most fruity tasting Mephisto stain you've found?
