2 24 Carat

Genetic Heritage: Sour Boggle (BOG Seeds) x Breeding Auto Purple Indica Seed Type: F7 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Our most Afghan derived automatic! 24 Carat holds a special place in our hearts -she was the first ever Mephisto Genetics completed project. Designed to be our new high quality Autoflower Sea of Green strain the result is a great yield potential and fast turn-arounds of really nice quality meds. 24 Carat has a high flower to leaf ratio, as well a high yield relative to the plant size. We selected a beautiful example of Sour Boggle from the F2’s we made: hard buds, and waxy green leaves the size of dinner plates that will purple under cooler temperatures. Ultra frosty, and hard nuggets, with an indica/highly medicinal effect, it is now nicely stable at F6 and has been used to create many auto to auto hybrids and a new Artisanal strain in development.

Strain behavior and structure:

Bushy, thick, and a squat structure which results in a plant 40-60cm tall. Responds well to light stress training and leaf tucking early on. The fan leaves can be so big it is worth removing a few to encourage lower shoots. Internodes are tight. 24 Carat is an easy plant to grow, that doesn’t want for much, she just gets on with it. Maintain a low humidity in mid-late flower, and ensure good ventilation to prevent mould. Better suited to indoor unless you have a very arid outdoor climate. Indica/Sativa: 100% Indica She is a great little hash-plant for the extract lovers out there; she is super easy to process and the trim is well worth Cycle Time: 65 - 70 days from sprout Size: 40 - 60cm+ (Under HPS) utilising. Yield: 60 to 90 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield:: 20 per 1.2m x 1.2m Related: sq in 12 Liter pots. Ripley’s OG Aroma and flavour: Sour coffee to fruity with hints of bubblegum. Effect: Narcotic, couchlock, medicinal. Best Grown: Indoor Flower Density: 9.5/10 Cannabinoids: 15% THC

3 Alien Vs. Triangle F2

Genetic Heritage: Ripley’s OG x Triangle Seed Type: F2 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Our highest tested potency auto strain now made F2. Originally made as a one-off limited edition, but after such good reviews and customer demand, we have had to make this strain an F2 for our main catalogue. Being the combination of two of our original OG based strains: Alien OG from Cali Connection and the Triangle OGK cut as part of her heritage it’s hard to go wrong.

Strain behavior and structure:

Alien Vs. Triangle is an incredible all-rounder, ticking so many boxes: Potency? - Check! - Our highest tested ever @ 25.5% THC Size and Yield? - Check! - She loves to grow big and wide, producing multiple colas of super nice quality herb. Speed? - Check! - It is ripe around 75 days from sprout, which for the size is amazing.

If you have ever been sceptical about autos, please give this lady a try -she is truly a game changer. As a single plant it routinely finishes between 90-120cm in height, and will spread wide if allowed. Otherwise, she will push those branches Indica/Sativa: 40/60 up for multiple colas. A great option for heavy training, super-cropping, scrogging, and LST. A good option for outdoors, Cycle Time: 75 - 80 days from sprout Size: 90 - 120cm+ (Under HPS) as her more open structure allows for good airflow around the flowers and proves decent protection against mould and Yield: 120 to 150 grams as a single plant mildew. Given a big container or straight into the ground in prepared soil it can become a hefty plant. Best Method for overall high yield: 6 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 18 Liter pots. Related: Aroma and flavour: Spicy Skunky High-Grade aroma with a fruity Ripley’s OG zesty to piney taste. Effect: Very Strong, balanced, highly medicinal. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 9.0/10 Cannabinoids: 25.5% THC

4 Chemdogging

Genetic Heritage: ChemD IBL (Rez) x Old School Sativa Breeding Auto Seed Type: F6 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

The definition of connoisseur quality automatics! After years of intense research and trials, we have released our inter- pretation of Chemdawg turned automatic! Chemdogging was one of the first conceptions to creating new lines of elite auto flowering strains. It is a cross of a larger sativa dominant Auto and a choice Chemdawg D IBL parent selected from seed inbred to F6. Chemdogging took two generations more of breeding, and trials in order to find the perfect male, and female phenotypes at every stage -finally bringing the resulting strain to market. As with all of our strains the priority is carefully selecting the photoperiod parent traits.

Strain behavior and structure:

Chemdogging is a medium to large sized variety, forming a nice bushy christmas tree structure after an average vege- tattive/stretch stage. She isn’t lanky , with medium sized inter-nodes. Being medium in size, the cycle time is also one in the medium range. The potency is on another level, hard hitting and long lasting. Customer tests have come back at 22.5% THC. With a heavy influence of the legendary qualities, chemdawg in photo-period format is known across the globe. Chemdogging is a suitable candidate for training and also can be grown indoors or outdoors with relative ease. Indica/Sativa: 65-35 Cycle Time: 75 - 80 days from sprout Related: Size: 70 - 90cm+ (Under HPS) Yield: 90 to 120 grams as a single plant Creme de la Chem Best Method for overall high yield: 9 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 15 Liter pots. Aroma and flavour: Peppery, Skunky, Rank Effect: Very Potent, but balanced high. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 8.0/10 Cannabinoids: 22.5% THC

5 Fantasmo Express

Genetic Heritage: OG Ghost Train haze #1 (Rare Dankness) x Breeding Auto WW1 Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Fantasmo Express is one of our most sativa dominant automatics, and was a long awaited and now much loved addition to the Mephisto catalogue. After trialing several variants of the OG Ghost Train Haze series from Rare Dankness, in 2012 we settled on using a lovely male from the #1 line to begin our project. The OG GTH was paired to a very white and spicy hybrid balanced indica/ sativa automatic and the progress went from there. Our work with her has since continued, being a staple parent for many of our Illuminautos over the years, and also a parent to our Artisanal strain ‘Northern Cheese Haze.’

Strain behavior and structure:

Fantasmo Express begins her auto grow journey expressing both a squat indica appearance and OG reminiscent leaves, but when preflower hits she reveals her sativa side creating many branches and long colas. She will often more than quadruple in size during the stretch phase. As flowering progresses every branch, going up the stem pokes out also wanting to become it’s own mini cola. Given her sativa heritage, flowers aren’t the most dense but she produces a lot of them and they are covered in very nice heady resin. Her larger more open structure and lower bud density makes Fantasmo Express a great candidate for outdoor and greenhouse growing and for indoor really suitable to train and tweak to produce a multi-cola high yielding bush or scrogged plant. Fantasmo is certainly a unique automatic and definitely one to tick off in your auto quest. Indica/Sativa: 35/65 Cycle Time: 65 to 75 days from sprout Related: Size: 70 - 100cm+ (Under HPS) Yield: 75 to 100 grams as a single plant Northern Cheese Haze Ghost Toof Best Method for overall high yield: 9 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 15 Liter pots. Aroma and flavour: Hazey, lemony Effect: Euphoric and energetic. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 6.0/10 Cannabinoids: 15% THC

6 Hubbabubbasmelloscope

Genetic Heritage: Serious Seeds 90’s bubblegum cut x Breeding Auto WC1 Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

One of our first Mephisto Projects to come to fruition; developed from a 1990’s cut of bubblegum from Serious Seeds. Bubblegum was the first high grade weed we sampled in Amsterdam decades ago. It holds a personal memory to us, and was one of the first strains we had in mind to turn automatic from scratch. The cutting we used as a parent is in- credible and formed the perfect pairing to begin the breeding work. We truly created a monster with the Hubbabubbas- melloscope she just loves to grow. Under the right conditions she grows very large and yields heavily; each time you pay a visit to her you can’t help but touch her flowers and smell the sweetness.

Strain behavior and structure:

Hubbabubbasmelloscope is a thin sativa plant that grows fast with great vigour. This fast growth means she can be delicate as her fine branches pack on yield, and often needs support late in flower to keep the colas up and in place. She responds very well to training and basically accepts anything you want to do: Super Cropping, LST, Topping. Hubba- bubbasmelloscope doesn’t spare too many trichomes for fan leaves but she totally encrusts her flowers in lovely sweet Indica/Sativa: 40/60 resin. Flowers indoor are compact and easy to trim producing a high grade final product.Warning: she can grow very Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout large, Hubbabubba wanted to outgrow our 6ft polytunnels in height, we had to supercrop the main stem to reign her in. Size: 80 - 120cm+ (Under HPS) Her large open X-mas tree like structure makes it an ideal strain for outdoors. Yield: 120 to 210 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield: 4 per 1.2m x 1.2m Related: sq in 20 Litre pots. Hubbabubbahaze Aroma and flavour: Sweet, sweet bubblegum. Effect: Euphoric and creative. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 7.0/10 Cannabinoids: 15% THC

7 Ripley’s OG

Genetic Heritage: Alien OG (Cali Connection) x Breeding Auto OSS Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

After trialing many OG varieties that we had been amassing in our stable of photo-period genetics we settled on just a few to utilise for our Mephisto projects, one of which was an Alien OG cut selected from Cali Connection seed stock.The Alien OG was small, slow to veg and not incredibly stretchy for an OG cultivar but the cut was truly distinct and lovely in it’s own right. Just oozing quality: thick with white resin, which was a stark and beautiful contrast to the leaves that showed deep purple colouration. Turned automatic over the next generations of inbreeding Ripley’s took on a larger structure and has lovely thick glue-like resin and chunky funky flowers.

Strain behavior and structure:

In good conditions Ripley’s OG will grow large with full buds. Encourage branching and you’ll be rewarded with multiple colas in return. She doesn’t have huge inter-nodal gaps and is easily manageable, attaining a high yield. Ripley’s happily layers on frosting to create a sweet auto cake. Aroma is potent with a burnt rubber to meaty intensity. It will purple up under cooler environments like her original mother. Ripley’s OG also returned some of the highest lab results we’ve seen from customer tests. She is very consistent - three different plants submitted for analysis were between 22-23% total cannabinoids. Indica/Sativa: 70/30 Indoor - Large yields are possible per plant, or as an arrangement of multiple plants. Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout Outdoor - She can monster in good conditions and produce 300g per plant. Size: 70 - 90cm (Under HPS) Yield: 129 to 300 grams as a single plant Related: Best Method for overall high yield: 9 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 15 Liter pots. Alien Vs Triangle Aroma and flavour: Earthy chocolate rubber to zesty, high grade very unique. Effect: Hard hitting buzz. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 7.5/10 Cannabinoids: 23.1% THC

8 S.O.D.K

Genetic Heritage: (Sour Orange Diesel - Lady Sativa Genetics x Breeding Auto OD1) X Triangle F1 Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

A very unique polyhybrid to come out of our Mephisto projects, now at F6.The SOD (Sour Orange Diesel) was a lovely East Coast Sour Diesel phenotype with a sativa edge to the structure, but reeking of skunky highgrade orangey aromas. This was mated to our auto triangle project at F1 and bred out as a separate strain for the following generations. The result is the aptly named Sour Orange Diesel Kush: a high yielding, high quality automatic. SODK has been supremely popular and we’ve now collaborated with Indica/Sativa: 30/70 Lady Sativa again, who donated us Seeds of their Cup winning Orange Diesel V3 (thanks guys!) to cross to the SODK for a new Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout Artisanal project and work back to auto for an even more diesely experience. We can’t wait for it to be ready. Size: 70 - 120cm (Under HPS) Yield: 120 to 210 grams as a single plant Strain behavior and structure: Best Method for overall high yield: 4 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 20L pots. Like our other sativa dominant strains, she begins life looking pretty indica and innocent. Once past the seedling stage, she excels Aroma and flavour: A zesty orange peel, soaked in diesel. and explodes in upwards and outwards growth.

9 Sour Crack

Genetic Heritage: (Cecil C Green Crack cut x Breeding auto L2) x 24 Carat Seed Type: F7 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Sour Crack -love or hate the name- is one of our fastest and most popular varieties. We feel she is one of our flagship cultivars, really broke ground and gained traction with the idea of connoisseur automatics. Sour Crack is: a perfect Sea Of Green machine, one of the frostiest varieties in the Mephisto arsenal, and is a very useful strain to have in your auto-toolbox. Sour Crack was used as the parent auto to make one of our top favourite Artisanal strains ‘Sour Stomper’.

Strain behavior and structure:

Sour Crack is a fast strain, and has a short seedling stage. As soon as it is shows its sex there is a small time period of extra veg/ stretch growth before switching hard into flower mode. Frost levels are very high, trichome development is apparent from early Indica/Sativa: 90/10 on and quickly makes chunky dense buds that are dripping in resin. Consequently, Sour Crack makes a beautiful extraction/hash Cycle Time: 55 to 65 days from sprout plant to work with. Commercially it can be taken in as little as 55 days from sprout, but for the connoisseur auto grower and toker, Size: 35 - 55cm (Under HPS) 60-65 days is more accurate depending on the exact effect the grower desires. She’s an auto akin to the reason we love autos! Yield: 30 to 60 grams as a single plant Sour Crack doesn’t want for much, take care of her, watch the amazing daily progression before your eyes and the rewards will Best Method for overall high yield: 25 per 1.2m x 1.2m soon come. Sour Crack works fantastically as an autoflower sea-of-green strain, for really above average yields. Dense buds and sq in 10L pots. being a short stature plant with thick foliage, she’s not best suited for outdoors unless you’re in an arid climate. Aroma and flavour: Sweet, sour, fruity. Effect: Very potent. Related: Best Grown: Indoor Flower Density: 9.0/10 Cannabinoids: 19% THC

10 Toof Decay

Genetic Heritage: Grapefruit x Blueberry a.k.a Sweetooth 1.1 (Chimera Genetics) x Breeding Auto WC1 Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Toof decay is one of the prettiest varieties we hold. Lime green buds, super orange pistils contrasting wonderfully against coloured foliage, and littered with oily resin which extends to stems and big fan leaves. Many many years ago we picked up some GFBB (Grapefruit x Blueberry) seeds from Chimera Genetics. A really stellar cultivar. Great yields of primo gear. We ran at least one grow at half the wattage than another strain that was being trialed at the time and didn’t realise as the yields were so favourable. We made F2’s and set about searching for the perfect momma to a new auto line. Skip on a few years of work and a further reproduc- tion run and here it is: One of our favourite babies, Toof Decay F5.

Strain behavior and structure:

Stocky indica, that makes thick stems and big leaves. Fast flowering with a super sweet smell, she will be in your grow room more than one time -trust us. A medium sized and highly versatile plant: constricted to small pots she’s easy to grow in a sea of green Indica/Sativa: 80/20 or higher plant density, however given a larger container with more room for roots to explore and you can pull some beasts from Cycle Time: 65 to 75 days from sprout Toof Decay. She typically makes a meaty main cola, so training is possible, either LST or leaf tucking will help divert and spread Size: 55 - 75cm (Under HPS) Yield: 60 to 120 grams as a single plant this mass for a better overall yield. Flowers are fat, so during the mid-late flower stage it would be well advised to ensure good ventilation. Best suited to indoors, but it’s possible to run outside with due care and attention and keeping an eye out for mould. Best Method for overall high yield: 16 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 10L pots. Related: Aroma and flavour: Fruit basket, fresh flowers Effect: Giggly, contemplative. Ghost Toof Blue Toof Best Grown: Indoor Flower Density: 8.5/10 Cannabinoids: 17% THC

11 Walter White

Genetic Heritage: Krome’s ‘The White’ cut x Breeding Auto WC1 Seed Type: F6 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Many moons ago, we first caught a glimpse of Krome’s fantastic strain ‘The White.’ We’d never seen plants covered in trichomes like it. One test grow of the cut, and from that moment we knew we had to develop an auto version! After acquiring the cutting we crossed her to a sativa leaning breeding auto and set about making our white dreams come true. Highest quality, lovely aroma and high, one of the best all round autos we’ve ever made or grown. Walter is frequently used as a parent for our hybrid strains as she always crosses wonderfully jazzing up everything she touches, including our beautiful Artisanal Fugue State and Limited Editions Grapey Walter, White Crack and White Chem.

Strain behavior and structure:

Walter White is a character; she can start growing a little slowly and oddly during the first 10 days, but after week 2 from sprout she normalises and goes hell for leather with lots of vigour. She’s a hybrid sitting in the middle of the indica/sativa spectrum. Wal- ter White will grow tall and wide if allowed with decent levels of stretch and multiple main colas. Walter is a versatile strain, and will lend itself to many styles of growing and handle various training techniques without a problem. She takes a little longer to re- ally put on heavy flower mass, and finishing times are at the longer end of the catalogue, but the results are totally worth the wait. She ticks all the boxes for flower density/bag appeal and is supremely photogenic. A sight for sore eyes. The smoke is yummy, a Indica/Sativa: 35/65 unique creamy citrus to hazey taste, the effect is an active one where you can concentrate on tasks and remain functional despite Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout being thoroughly high. She performs well in all scenarios, indoor or outdoor, balcony, deck or greenhouse. Size: 90 - 120cm+ (Under HPS) Yield: 120 to 150 grams as a single plant Related: Best Method for overall high yield: 9 per 1.2m x 1.2m sq in 15 Liter pots. Fugue State White Chem Aroma and flavour: Hazey, Lemon, Citrus Effect: Powerful, heady, creative. Best Grown: Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse Flower Density: 6.0/10 Cannabinoids: 19.75% THC

13 Double Grape Genetic Heritage: Sour Stomper x Grape Crinkle Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Part of our 2nd Illuminauto drop, now advanced into a new Limited Edition strain. Here’s what we said then: ‘Another clash of the Artisanal titans in the form of the two strains of grape heritage. Sour Stomper (Sour crack - Grape Pheno x Grape Stomper OG) x Grape Crinkle (Canadian Crinkle x Supernatural x Ripley’s OG)

From the offset of our F3 Artisanal run in winter 2016 we had this cross pegged and written on our project board as a MUST DO! Insanely frosty and bursting with flavour, ideal strain for extraction!’ This was the first Illuminauto strain to sell out from the 2nd drop, we received such good feedback we just had to continue the line and make her available again.

Strain behavior and structure:

Indica/Sativa: 60/40 Double Grape is an all-round pleasure to grow. She’s easy to grow and manicure and all too easy to consume! One of our frostiest, Cycle Time: 65 to 70 days from sprout oiliest varieties ever and Double Grape packs a punch too. She has very nice vigour and grows relatively open, bushes naturally with Size: 55 - 80cm some leaf tucking but also will adapt very nicely to LST and other forms of training when performed correctly. The cycle time is medium Yield: 90 to 140 grams at 65-70 days to bring her to fruition in ideal conditions and is definitely one of the most pleasurable strains to grow from any of our Aroma and flavour: Strong complex aroma, collections. blending sweet and sour, grapes and gas.

14 Forgotten Cookies Genetic Heritage: Forum Stomper (Girl Scout Cookies x Sour Stomper) x Fugue State (Amnesia Haze BX1 x Walter White) Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Forgotten Cookies: Dude, where’s my cookies??

When producing the latest round of Artisanal strains we get the opportunity to comb through a lot of plants; and running 4 strains together really helps to assess the full qualities, similarities and differences between them. Two strains we thought would blend exceptional- ly well and be highly complementary to each other were Forum Stomper (Girl Scout Cookies x Sour Stomper) and Fugue State (Amnesia Haze BX1 x Walter White). Forum Stomper grows in a bushy freestyle manner, whilst Fugue State is more traditional and regimented in its shape. The effects of each are also very different, the Fugue State has a traditional sativa up, electric and soaring high whilst Forum Stomper is certainly more stoney but highly pleasurable. The end result is a lovely blend between sativa/indica growth patterns and end effect. She’s not a chore to grow and delivers an exceptionally high product! Definitely one to give a go, we recommend her highly.

Strain behavior and structure: Indica/Sativa: 45/55 Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout Forgotten Cookies is a pretty easy autoflower to grow, she has a nice vigor and growth rate and with some simple leaf tucking between Size: 60 - 90cm weeks 2-4, you can easily convince her to bush out nicely for you and get an even canopy. When she gets into her stride and goes Yield: 90 to 160 grams through the pre-flower/stretch stage, she will turn those branches into tall vertical colas.

15 Gold Glue Genetic Heritage: 24 Carat x 4 Assed Monkey Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Gold Glue: The Midas Touch!

Gold Glue was a strain we released as part of the 2017 Illuminautos, and both ourselves here at MG, and our customers fell in love with this lady! She is a combination of two really stellar strains from the Mephisto Catalogue; our oldest and most sentimental strain 24 Carat, and one of our newest and fun strains 4 Assed Monkey. Being a blend of old school genetics in the form of the Afghani 24 Carat and the newer school of Gorilla Glue, she is a fantastic strain to behold. The two strains have combined to create a stupendously nice amalgamation of complex, delicious flavours as part of a powerful stout plant that’s great fun to grow.

Strain behavior and structure:

Gold Glue is a small to medium sized plant very much on the indica side of the spectrum. She has a bushy structure, thick green leaves Indica/Sativa: 75/25 and stout stems, but given ample rootspace, good environment and capable hands she can become surprisingly big. She’s also pretty Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout versatile in that if you restrict her pot size she can be run as part of an Autoflower Sea Of Green arrangement, due to being a more Size: 45 - 70cm compact plant that can then also yield really well in smaller spaces.

16 Grapewalker Kush Genetic Heritage: Grape Crinkle x Skywalker Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Summed up beautifully by our co-founder Tim: “What’s not to like? It’s grapey, it’s kushy. Fair enough, it doesn’t walk anywhere. But you can’t ask for more, really.”

Grape Walker Kush is the most recent graduate from our Illuminautos program of 2017, now finally available again. She combines two of our favourite strains from past and present, Grape Crinkle and Skywalker. The final product is simply outstanding, in flavor, effect, it’s grapey, it’s kushy it’s exactly what you want. If anyone’s looking for an ultra-frosty, ultra-potent variety, doused in flavour, beautiful to grow and toke then look no further.

Strain behavior and structure:

Grape Walker Kush has a nice balance of sativa in her, and the structure reflects that. She grows quite openly, with not too much foliage Indica/Sativa: 65/35 and takes well to training. As a minimum we would recommend paying attention to leaf tucking in order to expose the shoots below and Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout aid their growth. She can quite easily become a multi-cola’d plant. She’s pretty stress free to grow just treat her well and she’ll reward Size: 60 - 90cm you handsomely. The quality of the flowers really is next level, we can’t stress enough how much of a nice combination this hybrid is. Yield: 90 to 120 grams Flowers are totally encrusted in a sticky white resin.

17 Grapey Walter Genetic Heritage: Grape Crinkle x Walter White Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Grapey Walter: MG Weather Forecast - Predicted front of high terps with a frost factor of 10!

Grapey Walter was initially released as part of our second line up of Illuminautos in 2016, she sold out pretty quickly, so we couldn’t resist bringing her back as a Limited Edition to give more people a chance to grow and love her! Grapey Walter is a combination of two of our frostiest strains ever, our Grape Crinkle Artisanal (now extinct) and one of our favourite Original strains, Walter White. Let’s get it straight from the off, she doesn’t disappoint. Grape Crinkle was a strange little character of a plant, sometimes displaying slightly freaky deeky growth patterns and flower formations, however, she oozes frost like no other and is super rich in terpenes to match. By mating her with Walter White, a lot of these oddities have been smoothed out, just retaining those delectable, powerful aromas and ridiculous resin content. This is a super nice strain and no doubt will bring a lot of amazement and fun to your autoflower garden. Make sure not to overlook this offering, you won’t regret it! 60/40 Indica/Sativa: Strain behavior and structure: Cycle Time: 65 to 75 days from sprout Size: 65 - 95cm Grapey Walter is a medium sized plant, naturally she grows with a dominant and thick main cola with decent satellite branching. Yield: 100 to 180 grams However with a little light manipulation, you can train her so she spreads that weight across those branches. The end result is a very Aroma and flavour: Grapey with hints of spice respectable yield with a high flower/plant ratio. She is a hybrid of mostly indica characteristics with a dash of some sativa traits. She’s on the nose. Spicy, lots of grape, rich wine, exotic on the not a difficult variety to grow and in a good environment will really reward you with some fine fruits. Grapey Walter is an absolutely next tongue. level, quality automatic; some of the whitest, stickiest resin smothering both flowers and fans.

18 White Chem Genetic Heritage: Walter White x Chemdogging Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

White Chem: Rumble in the Jungle!

White Chem is another graduate from our Illuminautos program of 2016, the second release. She again combines two of our most heavy hitting Original line strains, Walter White and Chemdogging. These are both frost monsters and special strains in their own rights, both could be our personal top 5 Mephisto bred strains, however, when brought together they really shine that bit more as White Chem. If anyone’s looking for an ultra-frosty, ultra-potent variety with a phat yield, then look no further.

Strain behavior and structure:

White Chem is a pretty easy strain to grow, she grows with good vigor stacking nodes and putting on size quickly in the first weeks. She’s not too finicky, so when given a good environment her transition into flowering can be outright explosive. We would classify her Indica/Sativa: 60/40 as a medium to large variety, she grows with a more typically Xmas tree structure when left to her own devices. Secondary branches Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout become long towers with tight internodes which result in big colas, however, if you choose to train her you can get a very even canopy Size: 80 - 120cm of more than decent colas. It will reward you to spend some time clearing out undergrowth and any growth that could develop into Yield: 100 to 180 grams potential fluff as there will be foliage that can block penetration of light. White Chem is not the fastest, wrapping up around 70-80 days Aroma and flavour: Powerful sharp lemon to from sprout, but the yield potential as a single plant or low plant density grow is worth the extra time. The flowers are large and dense, raw meaty funk. Taste is very lemon and diesel. and adorned in resin, and she’s very odorific! So please make sure your filtration system is in good order.

19 White Crack Genetic Heritage: Sour Crack x Walter White Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

White Crack: The new special for our favourite crack head - Tyrone.

White Crack was initially just given out as a freebie for European orders during 2016-2017. However we have had such amazing and frantic feedback about her, we just had to reproduce this strain! We definitely knew we should give more people a chance to try her out, we’re just sorry it took this long to have her back! Combining two of our Original strains, Walter White and Sour Crack, two strains we really cherish as part of our catalogue and history of work. White Crack is stupendously nice and a case of the sum being even better than the parts! She has also returned one of the highest cannabinoid analysis test results with one of our customers achieving over 27% THC, at the time we believe that was the highest strength autoflower on the planet! This could be one of the most highly anticipat- ed limiteds of the year. So make sure to grab a pack whilst they’re around.

Strain behavior and structure: Indica/Sativa: 75/25 Cycle Time: 65 to 75 days from sprout White Crack is a winner on a lot of levels. She displays decent vigour, and with a little encouragement via some simple leaf tucking, can Size: 60 - 90cm become a really full bush of flowers. Yield potential is really high too, either she’ll put out some very hench cola’s, or if you’ve helped her Yield: 100 to 180 grams to bush out she’ll make a whole plants worth of compact crystally nugs just spread out between all her branches.

21 3 Bears OG Genetic Heritage: Bear OG A.K.A Karma’s OG (Karma Genetics) Cut x Triangle F3 Seed Type: F6 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

In 2013 whilst we were still setting up our farm, we were blessed with a visit from Karma, who being the experienced guru of growing and fine genetics, as well as being a stand-up guy, resulted in us being passed some of his personal selections to tinker with, along with a heap of good advice. One of which included the then labelled Karma’s OG, now named Bear OG. We know Karma put his heart and soul into the creation of his Bear OG, so we wanted to do it true justice in auto form and mirror that with our own work. Bear OG was very impressive as an OG, she wasn’t too finicky, or viney, she was adaptable, and very easy to grow, a single topping created a very even canopy of thick juicy nugs. We trialled her inside and out over several seasons, in non ideal conditions too and her quality always shone through. She had a great vigour, exploding when put in flower and responded extremely well to training, vegging beautifully and cloning well. Something that made her a mainstay crop with that headstash quality, so to put it simply, she ticked all of our boxes.

Her flowers are hard as boulders and yielding greatly, even when mistreated, blew us away. We already have several projects involving various OG Kushes, but felt our Triangle was an ideal match and shared a lot of common traits to be paired with the Bear OG. We grew Bear OG from seed alongside Karma’s own selection, which we often do when starting a project to make sure we’ve really made the best choice and have the best candidates to work with. After all, it would be silly not to, as we know we’ll be investing at least a couple of years Indica/Sativa: 70/30 to bring a project to term. We found some gems in the seeds, but Karma’s personal cut took the cake. The F1 generation when grown Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout out was very uniform, and remarkably similar to the photoperiod Bear’s we’d grown previously. Topping once pre putting them into 12/12 Size: 50 - 80cm created a lovely even multi-topped bush with all the prized nuggets residing in the canopy. The majority showed nice colouration, and fully Yield: 70 to 90 grams frosted nugs. The F2 threw out a number of phenotypes, but it was easy to spot the flower formation and aromas we loved so much from Aroma and flavour: Watermelons & straight OG verging the F1s. offensive smelling, and Lemon Sour on the tongue. Effect: Happy, Stress relieving. Strain behavior and structure: Medicinal Effects: Helps against insomnia & provides great appetite stimulation. 3 Bears OG is without a doubt a cornerstone to our Artisanal collection; solid auto stock twice outcrossed to OG’s of impeccable qualities, Extract: You wont be disappointed! we now have true OG quality flowers in automatic format. We’ve managed to blend the best of the fabled OG with a compact and control- Cannabinoids: TBA lable growth pattern. A mini-me OG. It becomes evident from early on that the 3 Bears OG just stacks and plumps up flowers like there’s no tomorrow. For a compact plant, the yields can be spectacular with no sacrifice in quality or speed. She’s a stocky build and will benefit from a little leaf tucking between days 20-30 to make lovely thick secondary colas. The inter-nodal gaps are just right, and it’s possible to easily end up with zero pop-corn on these girls. Aromas and frost take awhile to really kick in, being subtle at first but once engaged and into gear they take you on a journey to funky town, mouth watering watermelon with hints of powerful lemon OG funk. Yummy. She colours up very easily too, from Deep Purple to Black in the foliage and sugar leaves. Because of the thickness and density of colas it is well worth making sure that airflow is optimised during the last two weeks of the cycle.

22 4 Assed Monkey Genetic Heritage: Gorilla Glue #4 x Grape Crinkle Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

‘4 Assed Monkey’ - those familiar with Mephisto know we don’t just use a name to sell seeds, to jump on the hype train, or to piggy back off of someone else’s hard work. It’s not our style. In fact, to create a new auto strain that really bears a significant resemblance to the photoperiod strain you start with takes a lot of dedication, even more so than the usual high levels of work and time that we put in. In our opinion and experience it can take 3 outcrosses to your desired photoperiod to really lock traits down and to feel comfortable to put that little word, ‘auto’ before or after a famous strain name. To do that work could easily take 5-6 years. This single cross of Gorilla Glue #4 to our Grape Crinkle, working it over 4 generations to become fully auto and testing time, has taken over 2 years alone. Initially we made a cross of GG#4 x Ripleys OG and also the GG#4 to Grape Crinkle for evaluation, but after the F1 grow out, we settled on the GG#4 and Grape Crinkle cross being the one to develop. We’re happy to say that we’re stoked with the outcome, and by calling it 4 Assed Monkey, that pays homage to it being related to Gorilla Glue #4, and also to our company namesake, Dr. Mephisto, who made his 5 assed mon- keys in his lab. We’re on our crazy farm developing 4 assed monkeys, so to us, 4 Assed Monkey seems quite poetic. This girl is a quick one, sparkly with frost, high in terps and has become something unique which we’re super proud of.

Strain behavior and structure:

4 Assed Monkey is a speedy auto indeed, putting on flowers and putting out her sparkly oils from early in life. We would classify her as being on the smaller side of medium. When given room to spread out and a good environment she will yield well, but is aptly suited to smaller spaces or to be grown in higher plant densities. We would recommend some leaf tucking and gentle manipulation to aid her on her journey, but with limited veg time for the most part she isn’t best suited to heavy manipulation and harsh training techniques. Aromas range Indica/Sativa: 50/50 from earthy with hints of sour initially that develop into a fruity tropical blend that is ultra tasty and salivating. Flowers have tight formation Cycle Time: 60 to 65 days from sprout encrusted in resin. Bag appeal is top notch on this lady.

23 Cosmic Queen Genetic Heritage: Spacedawg (Subcool TGA) x 24 Carat Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

The genesis for Cosmic Queen came in 2012, after my first experience with TGA Subcool’s “Space Dawg” thanks to a kind friend we’ll call Phil. He was more of a friend to my older brother, but we were all working for the same company, just in different states, and we all shared a passion for potent cannabis. Anytime we crossed paths joints were passed and stories were shared. On one such occasion he started telling me about Space Dawg, a cut he had received from the original TGA release some years prior, and mentioned a few terms that piqued my interest; ceilingless high and green out. He packed a bowl and we were off to the races! She hit right behind the eyes, causing my visual focus to sharpen, then waves of energy and euphoria, a sense of mental acuity that made you want to socialize but was encumbered by the lazy tongue effect, then ending with a severe case of the giggles and munchies. It’s not often that I tap out of a smoke session, but she had me down for the count. I knew after those first tokes that I wanted to breed her into my preferred flowering format, autoflower.

For the next 3 years every time I saw Phil I would drop subtle (and not so subltle) hints that I would love to breed with her, but he was just not down with autos at the time, and rightfully so. He had never experienced the Mephisto difference! I took it upon myself to find that same pheno, purchasing four packs of Space Dawg and doing quick runs looking for her. I found some killer phenos in those beans, but not “the” pheno. In the meantime the cut was gifted to my brother, another photoperiod purist, and in turn the flower often made it’s way to me. There were days when he was out of town for an extended period so I would be tasked with caring for her. This gave me the opportunity to get intimately acquainted with her, leading to even greater adoration of the Phil cut. Her branchy and bush like structure, early trichome production, and sweet terps all drew me in, but most importantly was the high. If I was a man of lower moral character I could have easily taken a cut without permission, but that isn’t the way we operate. I had full faith that in due time Phil would come around to the idea of allowing me a shot to breed with her.

Fast forward to 2015 when I had to opportunity to present Phil with some of our Ripley’s OG, Toof Decay, Walter White, Fantasmo Express, Triangle, and Sour Orange Diesel Kush. I’m Indica/Sativa: 30/70 not sure if it was one particular strain that put him over the top, or if it was the total package, but when he finished smoking them his mind was changed on autoflowers forever. After a Cycle Time: 65 to 70 days from sprout few discussions about the Mephisto breeding program and the effort we put forth to ensure quality and proper representation of the parental photoperiod genetics, he decided to bless me with a cut. Since I had previously taken care of her I had already known what she was all about, and it was go time! She vegged for a month and then hit the flip, getting pollinated Size: 60 - 100cm by our Chemdogging and our Sour Bubbly on my first and only personal run with her. I knew she was good, but wanted to make sure the boys on the team were all on the same page, Yield: 60 to 120 grams so I sent both the Space Dawg x Sour Bubbly and Space Dawg x Chemdogging F1 beans across the pond to the one and only Mitch Connor for his stamp of approval. Here are a few Aroma and flavour: Honeysuckle, candy necklaces, sun words about those F1’s from the legend himself: screen lotion, with a subtle gas behind the scenes. ‘It’s always hard to tell the mysteries of what lies in side an innocent looking baggy of beans but I always trust GBD’s work and judgement. MAN ALIVE! Sometimes it’s easy to get Effect: A sativa dominant potent euphoric beginning, leading to a caught up in what surrounds you or the projects you have your head in but the Spacedawg auto crosses were really a breath of fresh air. The smoke took me back to my first sativa narcotic finish. experience in Amsterdam tickling hitting all the pleasure zones. No anxiety, just all the good stuff. This cross actually acted as an inspiration to get a whole load of new sativa projects rolling, so extra thanks to GBD.’ Medicinal Effects: Great for mood enhancement, appetite stimulation and soothing tired joints. Upon receiving the Mitch stamp of approval I knew the project was everything that I had anticipated it to be, and the F2’s were set to germ immediately. The phenotypic variety was Extract: A golden goddess, emanating those sweet floral candy strong in the F2’s, and out of 47 plants only one auto female had all the Space Dawg traits that I had fallen in love with years earlier, but with a seemingly additional layer of frost! She was pollinated by an auto male from that lot with the same branchy structure and candy stem terps that I had known from the cut. At F3 she was extremely uniform, thanks to the atten- terps in any form of extraction tion to detail during the male and female matchmaking of previous generations, putting out three phenos. Two phenos shared the same early onset trich coverage and terp profile and varied only in the density of flower formation, the third had a notably different structure, obviously more Chemdogging dominant with terps that weren’t familiar to either parental strain. The plants of that third phenotype were all removed from the breeding program to help isolate only the traits that represented the original clone.

Strain behavior and structure:

Cosmic Queen is a medium to larger statured auto that’s an absolute joy to grow. She has a bushy structure, providing lots of side branches for floral clusters to do their thing, which also makes her an ideal candidate for training. With some light leaf tucking her satellite colas can grow damn near as big as her main. While her branches are stout, they do tend to spread out as flower mass increases, so some light support is advisable under certain conditions. She has a typical to slightly increased node spacing. Nothing outrageous, but at the same time a nice nod to the sativa side of her. She has thin leaves that start to accumulate frost early and heavy, providing excellent source material for extraction. Even her stems trich over! Related: 24 Carat

24 Creme de la Chem Genetic Heritage: Stardawg Illuminati Cut x Chemdogging Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Chemdogging was released in early 2015 as one of our Mephisto Originals and has remained a firm favourite in it’s pure form, but you know us, we just had to use it as a basis to create some fresh automatics! So aside from the obvious similarities in genetics, why use Chemdogging as the auto parent? She’s stable, she’s potent - testing consistently high for THC levels above 22% and she puts out in- tense aromas. Combine all those factors and she’s just an overall Decent with a capital D auto to work from. We love her that much we’ve also used her as the auto parent to another Artisanal strain: Cosmic Queen.

From the offset, when planning the project we wanted to outcross again to a photoperiod of exceptional quality with a shared lineage. After some trials and tribulations searching, our stars aligned and we happened upon a cut of Top Dawg Seeds Stardawg, specifically the Illuminati cut. Us Meph_heads are equivalent to magpies and shiny things but for frost. The Stardawg produced real nuggets adorned with lashings of frost, in combination with super intense aromas it was a no brainer to utilise.

Creme de la chem is really a delight, both surprising and surpassing our expectations, she puts on a thick coat of sticky white almost furry frost, which contrasts beautifully against the cooler autumnal colours she puts out through her flowering phase as she gets her fade on. As well as visual appeal, she ticks all the boxes in the smell department too. (Read: Odour control warning!) Smells emerge initially as quite sweet to floral, with hints of incense and spice. However as the flowers build the intensity of the aromas do very much so. We’d definitely recommend CDLC as an entry point strain into Mephisto, she’s deserving of a space in every garden and for us personally she’s a strain we’re going to put on repeat.

25 Forum Stomper Genetic Heritage: Girl Scout Cookies Forum Cut x Sour Stomper F4 Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Forum Stomper: We’ve been baking away!

Girl Scout Cookies has been at the top of the scene for some years now, with no end in sight yet. And whilst there’s been several auto cookies variants available for awhile now too, we wanted to make ‘THE’ auto cookies. We acquired both cuts and seeds to work through back in 2015 and settled on the Forum cut as the one to utilise. We made a couple of crosses to her using different auto parents, and we found the sour stomper cross to be the most complimentary. The resulting strain is a real grease monkey, perhaps, dare we say it, the stickiest frostiest Mephisto variety to date?! Whilst it will definitely take a backcrossing and further four generations of breeding to really lock the original strain traits down in auto format, we’re really pleased with the colouration, flower formations, aromas, effects and growth patterns in our GSC version, the quality is also next level. She’s a super sassy gal and a really unique autoflower. It’s hard to pick which Artisanal strain is our favourite but, if you’re new to Mephisto, this strain is definitely worth putting in your garden!

Strain behavior and structure:

This phenotype is substantially larger with a stretchier more ‘OG’ like growth pattern, however, it’s totally manageable. This Cannabinoids: TBA girl grows a plateau of multiple frosty tops, if you land one of these you’re in for a real treat too. It will however be towards the slower end of the spectrum, pushing towards 75 days from sprout in our environment. Both phenotypes present very unique flowers that have had several visits from Jack Frost. She is also a true stinker, a sassy, dirty, dank girl with a rich potent nose that contains traces of mint and deep exotic stanky aromas. She has an average veg time before entering the flowering cycle, frost development comes on pretty early and stacks from there. She has an average finish time in the spectrum of our catalogue, around 65-70 days from sprout. Related: Sour Stomper

26 Fugue State Genetic Heritage: Amnesia Haze Bx1 (Archive Seeds) x Walter White F5 Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Fugue State: A Mephisto Twist on a modern classic.

Amnesia is a strain that’s been held in very high regard for a long time, and with good reason too! Great growth, high yielding, a strong effect, which equals a high grade headstash with commercial applications. She has a lot of positives to say the least. Although nearly everyone offers an amnesia or amnesia haze in their line up, take a look at ours :) We acquired several packs of Amnesia Haze BX1 from Archive seeds back in 2015-2016 and without much delay got to popping them to see what we uncovered. We did this simultaneously against several amnesia cuts we’d ran, from elite versions to the local cut, we made seeds with all using our Walter White as the pollen donor. When growing out the F1’s the most consistent and quality plants were emerging from the Archive cross, we made our selection and continued on from there.

Another reason for this project was that we felt our catalogue was in need of more sativa options and we wanted to make an ultra high quality sativa strain to work with more in the future. Walter White has been a firm favourite in the Mephisto house for a long time, it also has a distinct aroma and Indica/Sativa: 35/65 flavour profile that shared similarities with amnesia so we felt they would be a match made in heaven and we weren’t wrong!

We’re really happy how she’s transferred into an autoflowering variety, she will veg/pre-flower and stretch to around day 35-40 from sprout but then transitions hard into flower. The flowers she produces are size-able, with a compact density and adorned with white frost. Basically she’s a lovely automatic spectacle to grow and witness developing on a daily basis. She grows with a sativa structure and medium sized inter-nodal gaps, devoid of much foliage her sparse leaves allow light to penetrate down and fill out lower flowers. Fugue state is an adaptable plant that lends well to different training methods, however there’s not always the need to go to crazy, and some light prun- ing of lower branches and lower fluff in combination with a few sessions of leaf tucking really spreads her bud mass across her full structure very nicely indeed. Generally we’ve seen good mould and pest resistance, however if she grows a really dominant thick main cola, please take steps to ensure really good airflow and lower humidity as mould could be an issue in a really thick and dense main cola. Fugue State progresses very quickly over the last few weeks, she will transition from a lot of white pistils on the flowers where you might be wondering how much longer she will go, to done! Quickly. Fugue State *may* also need support in these later stages. Overall Fugue State is a really nice variety, not difficult to grow, productive, high class flowers that satisfy the full spectrum of growers, she gives com- mercial yields of a connoisseur headstash, just like the amnesia we started with.

27 Hubbabubbahaze Genetic Heritage: G13/Haze (Mr. Nice Seeds) x Hubbabubbasmelloscope F5 Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Hubbabubbahaze is a true delight for the old school heads. Our intention for the project was to bring two classic building blocks of modern cannabis together with a new twist.

We wanted a strain to compliment the sativa side of the Hubbabubbasmelloscope which was made with a very special cut of Serious Seeds Bubblegum from the 90’s still preserved and being passed around today, whilst adding more potency, quality and yet more sativa heritage to one of the first and favourite Mephisto Originals strains.

At Mephisto we’ve been fans of the genetics first developed and then preserved by the team at Mr. Nice Seedbank for a long time, when we were looking for classic yet still amazing and relevant cultivars to work into automatic form our search stopped there.

Throughout the 4 generations of breeding work on the journey to make Hubbabubbahaze, we continually selected plants with the nicest sativa structure, highest resin production and the most nicely balanced combination of aromas and terpenes from both parents.

If you’re looking to spice up your garden with some hard hitting yet highly enjoyable sativa goodness this strain is the one!

Strain behavior and structure: Hubbabubbahaze we would say is a really well balanced strain from a growers perspective, she grows with really nice vigor from the off and develops rapidly at each Indica/Sativa: 20/80 stage of the autoflower cycle. Cycle Time: 75 to 85 days from sprout Size: 70-100cm tall / 60-80cm wide Left untouched she will grow in a typical xmas tree shape, producing long bottom branches, growing tall with lots of colas protruding from top to bottom. Yield: 120 to 200 grams Structure: Xmas tree style, slightly delicate long branches. Be She’s a very versatile strain and will flourish with training from LST to Scrogs, should you wish to go that route you can turn a productive plant into a very productive one. prepared to support from mid to late flower. Aroma and flavour: Mild sweetly scented with hints of hon- Hubbabubbahaze doesn’t produce outrightly monstrous flowers and cola formations, but don’t be fooled she puts compact flowers EVERYWHERE, which results in an ey, pine and bubblegum.

The second and other extracts potential. point to take note of is that her branching is pretty delicate, and once she starts plumping her flowers in the mid-late stage of flower it’s likely she’ll need added support, either with standard canes or yo-yo’s. Cannabinoids: TBA To re-cap if you’re looking for high yields, potentially monster sized plants of high quality nuggetry that’s relatively easy to grow, Hubbabubbahaze could be your #1 lady.

28 Mango Smile Genetic Heritage: Mango Haze (Mr. Nice Seeds) x Toof Decay F5 Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Mango Haze is one of 4 new sativa based strains that we’ve developing over the last couple of years. These projects were conceptualised as we’re huge sativa lovers at Mephisto, and we know a lot of you guys are also. So consider these the ying to the yang of the ever expanding MG catalogue.

Like with our other new sativa strain ‘Hubbabubbahaze’, we sourced the seeds to work this project from Mr. Nice Seeds, we’ve been fans of the genetics first de- veloped and then preserved by the team at Mr. Nice Seedbank for a long time, when we were looking for classic yet still amazing and relevant cultivars to work into automatic form our search stopped there. We had been dying to base a new Artisanal project off our Original line strain ‘Toof Decay’, Toof Decay is heavy on the indica side of the spectrum but has one of the nicest most palatable tastes in our catalogue, and produces frankly oodles of resin, so it seemed like an ideal candidate to splice with a heavy sativa and bring a new exciting hybrid to the autoflower table.

The result is a veritable beast of a strain, the most sativa/hazey specimen from these new offerings. This strain is not for novices however, it should be respected and treated as a sativa in automatic format.

However, that said the rewards from growing this strain are plentiful.

Strain behavior and structure:

Indica/Sativa: 15/85 Mango Smile can be assessed as quite unusual in behaviour and structure, she starts off with pretty unique leaf shapes, soft but definitely showing her sativa genetics. Cycle Time: 75 to 90 days from sprout Size: 90-120cm The seedling and vegetative stage is quite undramatic, she just gets on with it, fairly open structured plants from the off, however once she sexes and hits the Yield: 100 to 150 grams pre-flower stage all hell breaks loose. Following our MG grow method for breeding of 18 female plants per 4x8ft space, every time we’ve grown Mango Smile, they’ve Structure: Sativa madness, wild and branchy. outgrown the 7ft ceiling height, requiring a heavy supercrop of the main stem to bring them into line. We would definitely recommend growing the Mango Smile at less plant densities. We would recommend a big pot, and actively training them from early on, be it as minor as leaf tucking, to LST, to HST and scrogging, they can be Aroma and flavour: Spicy, fruity, strong old school high- manipulated heavily without slowing them down too much. grade delight.

Extract: High oil production ideal for extracts. Depending how you shape the Mango Smile, you can either get a big monster cola and satellite flowers, or multi-topped plants with slimmer flowers. The flowers are Cannabinoids: TBA generally compact for a heavy sativa strain, and the calyxes can stack, but when grown correctly the flowers are heavily encrusted in thick white resin. Like photoperi- od sativas, this strain will be sensitive to the environment, when dialed in you can expect BIG yields of really fire product, and again as with the Hubbabubbahaze less can be more when it comes to nitrogen and what you fuel her with.

The aromas from this strain are really delectable! When putting our noses in it transports us back to our visits to the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam back in the day.

For us, this is one of the most exciting projects to come to fruition, and to make available to you guys. It isn’t an autoflower for the novices, but with some research and care she is well tamable.

She can run on the longer side of the spectrum, in our environment up to 85 days, but for a sativa strain and the size possible once she starts flowering she can finish remarkably fast for a haze based strain. Related: Toof Decay

29 Northern Cheese Haze Genetic Heritage: Exodus Cheese x Northern Lights #5/Haze F2 (cutting) x Fantasmo Express F4 Regular Auto Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Back in 2008, long before Mephisto was born, we were adding to our seed collection like crazy and came across some very interesting freebies on the site Seedbay. These were made by a community member ‘hazeseeker’ and (before the exodus cheese was blowing up and being hyped) the genetics involved were the exodus cheese cut as the mother, and Northern Lights #5/haze from sensi seeds as the pollen donor. The resulting cross was aptly named ‘Northern Cheese Haze’. We stored away the actual seeds we’d first wanted to try in favour of immediately running the N.C.H beans. We ran them 12/12 from seed and were impressed enough to make F2’s to tuck away for a rainy day in the future.

Fast forward to 2012 when we began experimenting and growing out too many strains to list en masse to see what diamonds we might uncover, and the NCH was ran again. She was an absolute beast, really verging on the line between what’s comfortable to run inside - She would run 13-14 weeks in flower, which indeed is longer than most people like to venture into. But the trade-off (as with a lot of sativas) is that the yield was astronomical. Multiple, big, long donkey dicks, with little to no training, but the indica side to her parentage ensured tight compact flowers, just on exceptionally long colas. We selected our favourite lady from these F2 plants to keep a cut to work with. She was also trialled outside, and being a sativa hybrid (similar to amnesia in this respect) they kick into flower noticeably later, by several weeks in comparison to the indica and OG varieties being run at the same time. This actually meant whilst everything around it was battling the late summer/early autumn storms, the NCH was unphased, and again produced massive, tall plants packed with yield.

Indica/Sativa: 45/55 We wanted to start exploring and adding more sativa based autos to the Mephisto Catalogue, and decided to pair our most sativa auto; Fantasmo Express to our fa- vourite sativa leaning photoperiod: Northern Cheese Haze. And thus began the process to turn the NCH auto. Over the resulting generations of breeding we witnessed Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout all sorts of phenotypes emerging, larger structures familiar to the Fantasmo and hazey elements but with looser flower structures. We shied away from utilsing those, in Size: 60 - 90cm favour of more cheese-like compact but musky frosty buds. As with all Mephisto strains we prefer to breed for overall quality and then unique traits over outright size Yield: 110 to 160 grams and yield: After all, who wants a plant rammed of flowers if the flowers aren’t up to par? The outcome may not be the most hazey affair, but overall we’re very satisfied Aroma and flavour: Musky, spicy cheesey fragrances. with the resulting creation and delighted to introduce her as one of our new Artisanal collection strains for 2017. She’s also already been put to use for breeding work Effect: Effects range day-dreamy to social to eventual couchlock. in a future project involving a Super Sativa Seed Club relic from Holland: ‘Old School Haze’. Medicinal Effects: Good painkilling and muscle relaxant properties Strain behavior and structure: Extract: If using full flowers, good levels of terpenes. Overall we’d classify the NCH as a medium sized strain, with potential to monster at a fast rate. Seedling growth is pretty rampant, and expresses fair sized internodal Cannabinoids: 21.07% gaps. She doesn’t put out much foliage, meaning light penetrates through her well, which can result in a nice multi-branched plant without too much effort at all. There’s a few phenotypes within the line; some bring about fatter shorter nugs, and others with more stretch but the end result is a very similar yield and they both have in common a very compact structure resulting in firm buds and a sublime end product. She doesn’t afford too many trichomes on the fans but the flowers get quickly enveloped in a generous coating and the odor during growth is relatively low unless you set about touching and exploring a little too adventurously. The flowers build solidly but can also make some small compact foxtails, which is something to note. When harvested though, even immediately if you get your nose in there you are welcomed by a beautifully spicy, musky, cheesy aroma. Our Northern Cheese Haze automatic was tested by Canna at an expo earlier in 2017 and a random bag bud came in at 21.07% Cannabinoid content, and this was from a breeding reject with no special treatment or harvest preparations, or even a ripeness check. So we think with a nice hand this variety could produce some very stellar results. The smoke is as you would expect, powerful. A blend of day-dreamy to couchlocking goodness and packed with unique flavours. If you want a solid strain to grow that ticks many a boxes, this has to be one to put on your grow-bucket list.

30 Orange Diesel Genetic Heritage: Orange Diesel V3.0 (Lady Sativa Genetics) x S.O.D.K (Sour Orange Diesel Kush) Seed Type: F5 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Orange Diesel: An orangey, diesely affair.

S.O.D.K (Sour Orange Diesel Kush) is one of first Mephisto Originals strains, and to this day one of our favourites to grow. S.O.D.K is Sour Orange Diesel from Lady Sativa Genetics mated to our Triangle Kush during the photo to auto process and then taken to fruition as a full automatic project. We wanted to refine the strain further and use it as a parent for a brand new Artisanal strain. We thought it a grand idea to search out a diesel or orange strain to outcross to again in order to make an improved and stable strain with common heritage. We reached out to the lads at Lady Sativa and they very graciously offered us a few packs of their award winning strain ODV3 to work with. So we’ll say an extra thanks for that, and if anyone’s looking for some photoperiod fire for their garden you shouldn’t hesitate and check them out.

The ODV3’s when grown out to make the F1’s and F2’s were all very uniform; tight, silver, greasy buds with the distinct diesel aroma we know and love, with a dousing of orange peel. The plants were consistently deep green with a beautiful sheen. Orange Diesel at both F3 Indica/Sativa: 60/40 and F4 have been also consistently awesome! The plants produce tight and solid aromatic nugs of the finest quality with a split diesel and Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout orange citrus aroma, they aren’t the fastest, but the ease of growth and end product are absolutely worth the wait. So don’t sleep on this Size: 70 - 80cm strain!. . Yield: 65 to 100 grams Aroma and flavour: Pungent, strong diesel aroma with a Strain behavior and structure: citrus twist.

With a good environment and pain. seeing good growth she’s a good candidate to train, however even if left untouched the bud to plant ratio is very good. Overall we would Extract: Rich in terps. classify her as a medium sized variety. Orange Diesel has a very special aroma which develops and shifts throughout the life cycle, from Cannabinoids: TBA early on you can pick out sweet citrus hints and as flowers progress they have a much more stinky diesel twist. She does start flowering quite slowly, however she keeps adding to her frame putting on size stretching, and in the final few weeks she packs on a lot of mass creating high density flowers. Harvesting and trimming is an easy process, fans don’t get too sticky so they can be pulled leaving the bare frame and solid resinous buds that are simple to remove and manicure. End bag appeal is really nice and you’re left with a super tasty stinky product to reward you for your care. Orange Diesel is a strain we’d highly recommend; decent sized, good yielding, consistent through and through, and beautiful quality.

31 Pink Panama Genetic Heritage: Panama/Deepchunk (Ace/Cannabiogen x Pink Sativa breeding Auto circa 2011) Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Pink Panama was a hybrid photo to auto cross first made some many moons before Mephisto was born as a company. Over the years we’ve made many project crosses with genetics that peak our interest, however that often leads to a problem of having too many projects and not enough time or space to develop them further, however they’re always kept in the archive ready to pick up with again. This strain is one example of that. At the time it was created, other projects took precedent. However, when we knew we had a couple of sativa projects on the table, we raided the archive to see which others would complement a sativa release and by gum we’re glad we had this cross tucked away.

This strain is VERY unique, firstly the photoperiod Panama Chunk created by Ace Seeds/Cannabiogen is a dream combination of very special examples of a heavy indica and heavy sativa from very different parts of the world.

In photoperiod form it’s one of THE most resinous cultivars we’ve come across in our time growing. We knew we wanted to further the sativa in the project and we were passed autoseeds we worked for several generations that displayed pink coloration in the flowers even in a warm to hot environ- ment, growing with nice vigor and displaying above average resistance to mould and pests.

Through the next generations, the phenotypes we prioritised were having a large, long main cola dominant structure, hints of colour contrasting a thick Indica/Sativa: 40/60 coating of resin. Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout Size: 60-80cm Pink Panama is the fastest strain from these 4 sativa release strains, she can finish very rapidly, in certain cases even less than a 60 day from sprout Yield: 90 to 120 grams time frame.

Cannabinoids: TBA She’s also a strain that can be more easily triggered into flowering, and flowering hard when given less room.

In our breeding conditions the majority have been tall, very main cola dominant, however with tight internodes and satellite colas that surround the main stem. The flower formations are not outright beefy but provide a nice dense cluster that tightens well after drying to create a very nice end product. There are a few phenotypes and the differences are mostly expressed within the flowers as opposed to the overall

plant structure. Buds can see colours creeping in from early flowering, or be predominantly silver with frost and the pink purple hues express them- selves more strongly in the final phase as the flowers bulk and swell and nutrients are expended within the plant.

Frost is pretty abundant on the Pink Panama, but for us the real magic with this plant is the super unique aromas and flavours to be found! There’s nothing else in our catalogue quite like it!

32 Samsquanch OG Genetic Heritage: Yeti OG (Loompafarms) x 3 Bears OG Seed Type: F6 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Samsquanch OG was a project created and now crafted into automatic format to keep on our journey of continually trying to refine what we deem is our take on the ultimate autoflowering version of the legendary OG Kush. The seeds were sourced directly from Loompa of Loompafarms when we met at Spannabis in 2015, I think perhaps he was a little skeptical about autos, especially being chatted at by two stoned lads at a fair, however we said at the time, give us a few years and we’ll have something nice to show, and here we are today! This is essentially an auto outcrossed 3 times to plants of OG Kush heritage, the first was our auto Triangle Kush (Triangle OGK cut x an old stock breeding auto), at F4 this was crossed to Bear OG from Karma Genetics. That was bred to F4 to be fully auto and named 3 Bears OG, then the 3 Bears OG (Bear OG x Auto Triangle) was crossed to Loompa’s Yeti and inbred again until fully auto. In brief the resulting strain Samsquanch OG; a dank, productive strain, high in quality that is an explosion of taste and flavour. We’d never blow our own trum- pets, but we’re humbly very satisfied with the outcome. .

Strain behavior and structure:

Samsquanch is a vigorous strain that produces very well in the correct environment. She branches very well indeed, making multiple colas that are stacked with flowers. Flowers grow compactly but your bush will be positively loaded with them. If allowed space she will grow tall and wide, we’d classify her as the large side of medium to the small side of large. She is adaptable and lends well to training and would definitely benefit from canopy maintenance and clearing out any inner or lower flowering sites that won’t receive much light. With the extra size development she does take in the region of 70-75 days from sprout to complete her cycle, the results however are well worth the Indica/Sativa: 60/40 extra days wait. To us personally we consider her one of the tastiest available, especially if you’re into your OG funk. Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout Size: 70 - 90cm Related: Yield: 100 to 150 grams 3 Bears OG Aroma and flavour: Typical OG markers of taste and smell: earthy, heavy, pungent, sour, skunky. Effect: Relaxing and sedative can induce a pleasant dreamy state. Medicinal Effects: Super, super tasty strain for any ex- traction work. Extract: Rich in terps ideal for rosin, live resin and bubble hash. Cannabinoids: TBA

33 Skywalker Genetic Heritage: Skywalker Kush Cut (DNA seeds) x Triangle F3 Seed Type: F7 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

The Skywalker auto project was something which in a sense we stumbled into, growing from feminised seeds, as breeders, is a practise we tend to shy away from, unless they have been produced by us. Of course, we know they can be produced in a decent, stable way, as we do and there can most definitely be fire lurking within. It’s just wherever possible we like to have the option to see the boys too and get our teeth stuck into the genetics. So just prior to our first outdoor season after moving countries, 4 years ago now, having little to no stability we were faced with a situation of needing to go balls to the wall and fully exploit what could possibly have been our only chance at a true summer outdoor in a good climate. I guess you could say it was our own take on freedom 35, (anyone not familiar with freedom 35, open another tab and google it please.) We raided our extensive seed collection, years and years in the making, Yes, we’re hoarders and seed addicts too, in which, amongst others, we had 5x 6 fem seed packs of DNA Genetics Reserva Privada range ‘Skywalker Kush’. We also started in excess of 50 other strains at that point in time for general and outdoor evaluation.

Skip forward past the summer season which we survived, some varities stood tall and stood the test, others fell, but out of it we’d found an absolute gem of a Sky- walker Kush mother. We hit upon an indica dominant phenotype, not too stretchy, responded well to high stress training, thick stout branches were difficult to tie down, not typical of the others we played with, but untypical is what we’re all about. She was early into flower outside, bushy as you like, and inside one of the highest quality all-round photoperiods we’ve grown. In total we ran her outdoors for 2 seasons, and successively inside, denoted by an INTENSE OG aroma, sedative, mind-meld- ing, face-melting effect, good yield for an OG derivative, hard flowers and very manageable growth pattern for an OGK, it was a no-brainer to set about making an autoflowering version. In 2014 the F1 cross was made using pollen from our Auto Triangle Kush F4. We felt the lineages involved and similarities therein would be Indica/Sativa: 90/10 highly complimentary and the aim was to further intensify the already high quality of our triangle kush with a strain we just couldn’t put down. And well worthy for the inception of the Mephisto Artisanal Automatics line. The Skywalker Kush was memorable to all of our friends we shared the flowers with, we still get asked about it Cycle Time: 65 to 70 days from sprout now, frequently. ‘....is... is...is there any Skywalker?’ Only after these few years of work can we finally answer, yes she’s back, in AUTO form. Size: 60 - 90cm Yield: 50 to 90 grams The selections for the F2 cross were made in late 2014, cropped in early 2015, We grew 30 or so of the F1’s out indoors, this was narrowed down to 9 females, Aroma and flavour: Pungent with a Capital P OG, earthy, from these just one was pollinated. When the on-set of flowering begins in the Skywalker, the leaves coming out of each budset appear slightly crinkled to the eye, piney, dash of lemon. Mouth coating blend of earthy, pungent and along with distinctive aroma, and several sessions of rubbing stems, one lady was selected to carry the F2 seeds.

Extract: TBA Cannabinoids: TBA Strain behavior and structure:

Our auto Skywalker is mid-sized, good vigour and growing without too much foliage, by employing an easy strategy of leaf tucking, you can encourage her to shoot branches up with little to zero interference to overall growth. Her open structure allows good penetration and therefore increased yields and minimal popcorn. Inter- nodal length is moderate and she’s very manageable. In the flowering stage she has a very distinctive appearance, Fine leaves eminate from the flowers in an almost spikey fashion and have a tendency to curl upwards, the buds whilst not outrightly singularly large, have incredible density which later become like mini rocks that hit your tray as you trim them. The flowers are very white in apperance. They are spread evenly and give a nice flower/plant size ratio. Odour control is an absolute must whilst growing this variety and if you travel with the finished product, a minimum of double bagging is recommended. Related:

34 Sour Livers Genetic Heritage: The Livers x Sour Crack F5 Seed Type: F6 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

In January of 2015 we set about to create a bx project for our Artisanal collection. To improve the quality of our Auto Blues and to progress locking down more of the traits from our all time favourite strain into automatic form. The main project was to use our Auto Blues as the auto parent to back cross to our Livers cut and work to auto again over at least 4 generations. (That is also due out soon as the pure Auto Livers). At the same time we decided to make two other crosses for the fun of it, also crossing Sour Crack and Chem City Blues to the Livers. Fast forward a little over two years, the work is complete and we’re super stoked to launch something that has developed into an astonishingly nice automatic: Sour Livers.

To those unfamiliar, ‘The Livers’ is an old school cutting that has been kept alive and spread mostly between growers in the North of England since at least the early 90’s, the reason being simple: it’s incredible as both a commercial producer and as a high quality top shelf head-stash variety. Strains come and go over time, but there’s definitely a reason cuttings from this era are still doing the rounds; the Exodus Cheese, Psychosis and Northern lights to name but a few. The only slight downside, if you can even call it that, of the cutting is the intense level of aroma, which is very distinct but deli- cious. The catch 22 is that often it’s impossible to sell any flowers in those areas that aren’t this strain because it’s all people want and love, but due to the aforementioned odor level it has been referred to as ‘prison weed’- but have a good filter and no problemo. It definitely sets the bar for high quality dope. Indica/Sativa: 80/20 Mated to our Sour Crack, we’ve blended two of our very favourite strains together, over each generation we selected for the ‘Livers’ aroma and flower Cycle Time: 60 to 70 days from sprout Size: 45 - 65cm structure and the greasy sticky resin that is produced in abundance by the Sour Crack. Sour Livers is positively loaded with terps, everytime you even get close you want to give the flowers a finger hug, and that aroma sticks on your fingers for hours after. Yes, people may look at you strangely perpet- Yield: 90 to 120 grams ually smelling your fingers. She’s a really unique strain, and is way up there in the top strains we have made.

To cut to the chase, the Sour Livers is not a monster large strain. Given her heritage she is far more inline with the Auto-SOG style of plant. But she is a compact Extract: Rich in terps ideal for rosin, live resin and bubble hash. bushy variety of top notch quality, and for her size she packs a lot of flowers into a small area. Give her a smooth ride in the seedling stage and it’s plain sailing from Cannabinoids: TBA there on out, she’s not over fussy or finicky and once established will handle good levels of feed. She absolutely benefits from some leaf tucking to expose those lat- eral branches she pushes out from early on, and encourage them to grow upwards and you’ll be in for a treat of a mini-multicola’d gal. It’s also worth clearing out fluff on the internal and lower parts of the Sour Livers to ensure all energy gets diverted to the primo sites. A very small amount of work in those areas will result in the best possible results. Variation between phenotypes is minimal, even under HPS which can make plants stretch more the end size difference is minimal. She does respond nicely to some gentle LST if you wish to, but really her natural bushiness makes it unnecessary for the most part.

Sour Livers is a quick strain with a low overall cycle time, she switches from seedling to flower very quickly and then full into bud mode very quickly. The flowers she produces are highly aromatic with an intoxicating scent, she really oozes terps and the resin on her fans sparkles. The flowers are compact with very nice density, and as a result the end product is properly a looker. We definitely recommend to ensure your odor control is fully working, as this is one of our smelliest strains. Don’t chance it without.

35 Sour Stomper Genetic Heritage: Grapestomper OG (Gage Green Genetics) x Sour Crack F5 Seed Type: F7 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Sour Stomper is the first Mephisto variety whereby someone else had a hand in the project, and we’ve been delighted with the results at every stage since. So first and foremost we have to give credit to GBD @Autoflower Network for having the foresight, skill and taste in quality genetics to get this project underway. He made the F1 cross using a Sour Crack female and Grape Stomper OG male, so here’s a word from the man himself:

“Sour Stomper began with a trip to Denver, Colorado to celebrate the legalization of recreational cannabis use on January 1, 2014. After spending two weeks sampling almost one hundred strains there was a clear standout: Grape Stomper. The grape flavours she emits are other-worldly, almost too good to be true! I had been disappointed by grape strains in the past, but after two tokes of her greasy, grapey, sweet, mouth coating smoke, accompanied by an instantaneous rush of full body relief, I knew she was something special. This began the quest to find Grape Stomper genetics and introduce them into the already unbelievably good autoflower genetics created by Mitch and Tim. The search was damn near impossible, taking correspondence relay races, waiting lists, and some asking extra nicely to finally ac- quire the beans. If anyone goes on a successful quest for them today my hat is definitely off to you! Once in hand they were immediately germinated, vegged, cloned and flowered. All of the females were absolute crystal queens, but they all left something to be desired in the way of grapey goodness, however one of the males was a different story. The scent from his tacky stems transported me right back to the flavors of the original Grape Stomper, with a little something extra, slightly offensive in the mix. He was selected to pollinate a super sweet Sour Crack that had strong grape undertones and was caked in resin. From there the offspring were handed off to Mitch and Tim to work their magic on, and to translate the best qualities of Grape Stomper into autoflower format. After seeing the Sour Stomper F3 grown out first hand in Spain last year I can safely say the quest was a complete success.”

On receiving the F1 seeds from GBD, we set about our usual process for F1 runs, starting 30-40 plants, narrowing down to a selection of 9 females. During the F1s we witnessed some of the most complete, thickest trichome coverage we’ve had the pleasure of seeing, out of anything, automatic or photoperiod, ever. We selected two pollination candidates, a thick Sour Crack dominant lady; big, thick, fingered leaves, fantastic resin, with an added injection of a sweet grape scent. The second, a Grape Stomper OG dominant lady with nice branching and more elongated colas. She had thinner leaflets, a positively intoxicating smell and again covered in white- Indica/Sativa: 50/50 ness. The F1 grow was in winter 2014 and the plants quickly turned a deep exotic velvet purple to black with the cooler temperatures. Generally we like to steer away Cycle Time: 60 to 65 days from sprout from the plants at F1 that favour the auto parentage, but with this variety and the other artisanals so far, the already high quality building blocks used to donate the auto trait is making this decision trickier, but we opted to go with the Grape Stomper leaning parent. Actually, in hindsight, I don’t think we could have gone far wrong with Size: 50 - 70cm any of the selections from this cross at F1. The foliage of these F1 females were so triched out, it almost felt like sacrilige to trim them. At F2, we witnessed a more Yield: 120 to 150 grams compact version of the F1s, but a larger version of the Sour Crack, one of our strains we’ve grown and played with relentlessly over the years.

From early to mid-flower a sweet red grape smell is evident, this develops throughout flowering becoming more intense and complex with a more raw meatier edge coming through as the flowers build. The flower to plant ratio is extremely Cannabinoids: TBA high, meaning although the outright size of the plants aren’t large, this is a small-medium sized variety, the yield is impressive. There isn’t a big swing in the pheno- types Sour Stomper puts out; we found two thirds will display colouration under cooler temps, but the flower structures and aromas are very similar throughout. She is a delight to trim and manicure, and is an ideal candidate for extraction work. Performs very well in an autoflower sea-of-green configuration. We pollinated just two candidates to make Sour Stomper F4s, one we’ve labelled simply as ‘the delicious pheno’ the other is branded ‘whiter than white’. Related: Sour Crack

36 Strawberry Nuggets Genetic Heritage: Sour Strawberry Kush (Bog Seeds) x 24 Carat F3 - Pink Pheno Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

Sour Strawberry Kush: An ode to BOG and Elite Automatics

This is a project that’s been a long time in the making; we wanted to make a new strain from scratch using 24 Carat as the autoflower parent. 24 Carat was the first Mephisto project that we completed way back in 2012/2013 so we hold it very close to our hearts. Usually it takes a lot of deliberation, combing through the internet and grow journals, as well as testing and growing out many strains to find our breeding project candidates, but this time we instantly knew where to go for some fire genetics. BOG. For anyone that hasn’t grown out any BOG gear, some classic trademarks are dense, dense flowers always coated in sticky white frost with unique aromas to boot. Sour Strawberry Kush stood out immediately as the girl to look to, after all who dislikes strawberries?! Who dislikes Kush? Who dislikes sours? It sounded perfect. When we first developed 24 Carat, whilst still in the regular stage there were 3 distinct phenotypes split by colour, a green (which later became the mainstay for 24 Carat) pink, and purple. The pink pheno held a delicate balance between potency and having an exotic edge to it, so we delved through our MG breeding stock to resurrect the pink regs to use to cross into the Sour Strawberry Kush and begin working from there. At each subsequent generation we’ve selected for plants with an abundance of resin, subtle pink hues and a delectable skunky strawberry flavour and aroma. Having genetics in common the Sour Strawberry Kush and 24 Carat have blended together exceptionally well and the resulting Strawberry Nuggets is a delight to grow and toke.

Strain behavior and structure: Indica/Sativa: 85/15 Cycle Time: 65 to 70 days from sprout Strawberry Nuggets is a thick, short afghan girl, growing at a good rate, incorporating a fat main stem and hardy branches. She produces thick, green 40 - 60cm Size: foliage and some of the widest fan leaves from anything we offer, read; dinner plates!

Plant management is often required to extract the best yields, being a shorter, faster strain she can stunt if not given a good environment in the early growth stages. She’s harvest-able from 65 days from sprout in most environments meaning you can have a quick turn around of superb quality meds.

37 Super Orange Haze Genetic Heritage: Super Lemon Haze (BCN cut) x S.O.D.K F5 Seed Type: F4 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview:

The Super Orange Haze F1 photoperiod x auto cross was made way back in 2015, doing continued work on the Originals line strains, we were already looking to develop new and improved strains based off of those. We were running and trialing a multitude of high quality photoperiod cuttings, and one stood way out from the crowd as one of the oiliest most stickiest going. The cutting in question was a Super Lemon Haze acquired from Barcelona. It was perhaps the first strain we would take rolled joints down to the photoperiod flowering room and rub on the plants for some true ‘live resin’ fun.

The vigor was something to behold, you could pop a relatively small cutting into flower and she would bush out and go mental, tripling, quadrupling, quintupling, a really nice strain to scrog for a smashing yield but still had that topshelf headstash quality to. The strain to mate her with was obvious to us, to compliment the citrus lemony skunky funk haze, was our Sour Orange Diesel Kush for a doubly citrusy experience.

During the development of the project we have primarily focused on capturing the resin production and high level of terpenes over the overall plant size, however when grown in a good environment she can certainly get some size on to match to make a very well rounded, Indica/Sativa: 25/75 super strain. Cycle Time: 70 to 80 days from sprout Size: 70-100cm Strain behavior and structure: Yield: 90 to 150 grams Structure: Medium in stature, bushy but potential to get taller Overall we’d classify the Super Orange Haze as a medium sized strain, with potential in the correct environment to monster at a fast rate. and branchier. Seedling growth is steady, the internodal gaps will vary depending on light source used, in our breeding environment she will produce Aroma and flavour: Zesty, Lemon. Sherbet sweet taste good dominant branching from early on. Leaves begin looking thick green and indica (especially seen side by side with our other new with some sourness. sativa strains) however as she transitions into pre-flower and then full flower, the leaves also transition and express a much more sativa Effect: Happy and uplifting with K.O. potential. style of plant. Medicinal Effects: Anti deoressant, and lowers stress. Extract: Performs very well with all extraction methods. Oils start to emerge not long after stretch and budsites start to form and then they build exponentially from there on out. Cannabinoids: TBA Naturally Super Orange Haze will form quite a thick main cola, with decent sized secondaries to match, but she will train in a way that can spread that flower weight across the whole plant for a higher than average yield.

Overall the Super Orange Haze isn’t a finicky plant to grow, and the quality of nuggetry is certainly of the top shelf xxx variety, she’s pretty adaptable also, lending well to low or high plant density grows.

Genetic Heritage: Samsquanch OG x Hubbabubbasmelloscope Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview: A handful of this cross was given out as freebies in 2017, and the response was that good that we had to recreate a few more for people to play with. This is a combination of two of our larger varieties and two strains that we hold close to our hearts in the MG HQ. Plant size - Large Cycle time - 75-85 days from sprout Combining the distinct flavour profiles of OG Kush, it’s earthy lemon dank goodness, and the sweetshop bubble-gummy magic Indica/Sativa - 50/50 that is truly old school makes something very special indeed. For the flavour connoisseurs this is definitely one to snag. Frost level - LEEROY JENKINS!

48 Ghost Toof #39

Genetic Heritage: Fantasmo Express x Toof Decay Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview: This strain may sound familiar to some of the old school meph_heads out there, this is indeed a re-work of one of the original illuminautos from the first ever drop back in 2015. We’re speaking about illuminauto #7 - Toof Decay x Fantasmo, which long since sold out many moons ago, but she really was an epic strain and when we had the two parent strains running alongside Plant size - Medium/Karge each other again, we couldn’t help ourselves. Cycle time - 70-80 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 60/40 For illuminauto #39 - Ghost Toof, the parentage has swapped around, this time using Toof Decay as the pollen donor and Fan- Frost level - Porn Hub tasmo as the recipient, but we are confident the genetics will combine in just the same lovely way as before. Here’s what we said back in 2015.

‘Sweet phat flowers of the Toof Decay mated to the sativa zing and vigour of fantasmo express. Also likes to colour up.Toof decay, one of our frostiest varieties (known to produce resin on males) really passed down her frost on this ultra rare cross.’

Expect medium to large plants in a decent environment and potential for some heavy yields of top notch flowers.

Genetic Heritage: Creme-de-la-Chem x Fantasmo Express Seed Type: F1 Feminised Automatic

Project Introduction and Overview: Buyer beware: Don’t sleep on this one. Illuminauto #40 - Creme-tasmo, could well be one of the best offerings during this 4th illuminautos event. Two very unique, and two of our very favourite Mephisto strains melded together could be quite the combo. Both parent strains in a good environment have the potential to get Large. The sturdy thiccness of the CDLC and super dense Plant size - Medium/Large buds added into special sativa slenderness of the Fantasmo will be a sight to behold. The oily terp heavy resins of the CDLC Cycle time - 70-80 days from sprout added to the subtle sticky Fantasmo will no doubt be a delight, and for sure a super heavy weight effect. Indica/Sativa - 50/50 Frost level - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Expect medium to large plants in a decent environment and potential for some extra heavy yields of top notch flowers.
