Mephisto Genetics Looking for the experts advice

Lmao angry Arthur in the corner. That’s a plus.

Potency is so low you can smoke it non stop and get nothing. Concentrating nothing is still nothing....kinda gives me a placebo affect alittle
At least it keeps angry Arthur in the corner

Are you sure you don't have a cbd strain possibly? I think you may be wrong about if you concentrate it, tho I'm no expert. @Root If he cooked a bunch of low quality down to like a 1lbs of coconut oil would it make it more potent? Not sure of o said right, but think I did. Like 1 aspirin isn't dangerous, but if you squeezed a whole bottle into 1 it would kill you. I have made different batches of butter with same bud and the batch with more bud was way stronger so I think it will work. Only thing that makes sense is if its a cbd and they sold as thc? That sucks bro I feel bad. I've had bud that smelled like a skunk sprayed it in my bag and it did next to nothing. Knowing what I know now about cannabis I bet it was cbd. Hope Root can help you out man, I have faith she can come up with some way to help.

Nope its not a cbd strain. And I've iso washed a lot of it. Still not worth a damn. Supposedly 18% the Northern Lights... I'll tell ya, I smoked a lot of northern lights back in the 80s... this ain't it. I had a bag seed photo that blows these away, flat... and they got twice the direct light.

Just bad genetics.
Unfortunately, coming from years of growing photos, these are exactly what I'd expected autos to be... I'm not throwing in the towel, but my next grow will be with top notch genetics. Am going to try a tent full of mephistos 4 assed monkey.

 

[Mizzo81]

Let’s hope that’s the difference.

I suppose in retrospect, seeds could have been mis packaged, but they came in the breeders packaging so it would have had to happen there. Anyhow, I will say it's a breeder that you only see mentioned once or twice around here, not like DP Mephisto, and a few others. I purchased them prior to finding AFN... would have made different choices otherwise.

Lesson learned.


(Edit 10:55 pst) I just went and checked the breeders website, they don't offer a CBD strain in auto or photo.

@Arthur
Like @Mcdee said, you can make 2 or more extractions with butter or oil (using new buds after straining) to make it stronger.
If you use grain alcohol, you'll get everything there is to get out of it and that can be reduced and added to to make it stronger.
But if there is no potency there...

Have you looked at the trichomes?

Mephisto is the best, smoking some grape crinkle right now hahaha. You will like their stuff. Good luck bro!

Yup, both of the NLs were 90 day strains, I went 105. about 10% amber. There were trichs, but not in the density or [HASHTAG]#s[/HASHTAG] that should have been seen. Have grown for a couple decades, just not the autos. The grow went well, no major issued and plants finished well and produced good # of nice looking buds. the few samples I pulled the last couple weeks were sad, but decided I'd wait till dry and a little cure to make a final call. Would have just let it go as maybe something I did, if I hadn't had a photo girl 20 ft away getting a fraction of the direct light that out performed both the autos.

So while my growing needed to have the rust knocked off, am having a hard time finding fault anywhere but genetics. Had I found afn prior to the purchase, I would have gone in a different direction.

Unfortunately, time = money, currently tossing 400+$ a month at the dispensary. If I had started my indoor with these, I wouldn't be giving autos another shot. time, energy and money (nutes, power, etc) would have put this grow several hundred dollars in the red.
This year's outdoor crop paid for my indoor setup, unfortunately, the photo girl had to cover all the costs, and I'm left with these till I get a pull done.

Trichomes mean cannabinoids, but doesn't tell us what the cannabinoids are. There may be little THC and lots of CBD, the CBD knocking any high the THC would give.
Or there may just not be enough.

I know, we are in the same situation too. But things may change in your area after the first of the year. Hopefully it will make prices go down.

That would be nice, but unexpected... they can't even get all the regs figured out. State wants a % county a % city too, and all get to decide their own rules... I don't see the price becoming even competitive with even the street for quite a while. (Current prices dispencery: 280 an Oz street :160, these are mids,
They can't get the regs done cause they're too busy figuring out how to get more money into their greedy fingers.

My town has proposed for personal, non comercial, no outdoor within 100 ft of your property line, no HID for indoor... (what about my tomatoes? ) you would need to be inspected by police and fire....(yeah right) but county and local regs havent been attended too. Honestly not expecting any doors to open on Jan 1.

wanna mess something up good? Ask a politician to fix it.
