Illuminauto 30 - Bubbly Livers (Auto Livers x Hubbabubbasmelloscope)
A one-off cross featuring some sweet old school genetics, the unreleased artisanal Auto Livers, which we are currently using to make an even more true to the livers, Bx project, but whilst we've been working it we thought a super special combo to try out would be to make a small selection involving our favorite bubblegum girl; hubbabubbasmelloscope.
Flavors and aromas should be off the charts and super unique with this illuminauto strain.
Dank Blueberry, and Sweet Bubblegum.
Yields with the hubbabubba influence should be mightily impressive too.
Not one to miss.
Plant size - medium - large
Cycle time - 70 - 80 days from sprout
Indica/Sativa - 65/35
Frost level - Nice!
Strain name: Fugue State
Type: Auto - Feminised
Genetic Heritage: Amnesia Haze Bx1 (@ArchiveSeedbank) x Walter White F5
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 again 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 catalog was in need of more sativa options and we wanted to make an ultra high-quality sativa strain to work to more future sativas. Walter white has been a firm favourite in the Mephisto house for a long time, it also has a distinct aroma and flavour profile that shared similarities with amnesia so we felt they would be a match made in heaven and we weren't wrong!
Fast forward 2 years and we are finally ready to drop our Amnesia/Walter project: Fugue state. An easter egg for the Breaking Bad fans out there when Walter 'had amnesia'. We're really stoked with the growth pattern and standout quality of Fugue state, Our Walter white has added another level of resin to an already frost-ridden specimen!
For the sativa heads that want to get up to some daytime mischief, this strain is the ticket. But also, buyer beware, don't overindulge as she will put you on your ass.
Enjoy!
Strain behavior and structure:
Fugue state is a sativa dominant strain that grows with very nice vigour. She forms a branchy open structure quickly, and as she works through her cycle her leaves become more slender and fine with sharp serrations on the leaves.
Despite the sativa traits she's fast flowering and matures quickly with bulk to boot, akin to something like C99. 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 sizeable, 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 internodal 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 too crazy, and some light pruning 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 mold 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 mold 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 commercial yields of a connoisseur headstash, just like the amnesia we started with.

Strain name: Forum Stomper
Type: Auto - Feminised
Genetic Heritage: Girl Scout Cookies Forum Cut x Sour Stomper F4
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 a while 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 utilize. 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?! keep your eyes peeled too as we're set to use Forum stomper in a bunch of new projects beginning later in 2018.
Whilst it will definitely take a bx and further four generations of breeding to really lock the original strain traits down in auto format, we're really pleased with the coloration, 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 new artisanal strain is our favorite but if you're new to Mephisto this strain is definitely worth putting in your garden!
Strain behavior and structure:
Forum Stomper is pretty easy to grow, go easy with nutrients early on, let her get established and she'll soon reward you with some ultra frosty flowers. As a rule of thumb, forum stomper will easily produce multiple cola's given space and a good environment, this can be further encouraged with some light leaf tucking and some clearing out of lower and inner growth. This small effort will be of extra benefit to ensure all energy and production goes to the primo places.
Forum Stomper generally has two phenotypes A) a slightly shorter stockier plant with a more typical shape of main cola and decent secondaries surrounding her. These make longer colas with tighter internodes and the bud to plant ratio is quite epic! Overall we'd class this type as a medium size with a solid structure not requiring support.
Another phenotype B) has emerged that likes to branch and bush to where it can be difficult to find the 'main'. This is the phenotype we've utilized throughout each stage of the breeding process, which we coined in-house as 'branches on branches. This phenotype is substantially larger with a stretchier more 'og' like growth pattern however it's totally manageable. This 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 pheno's 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 catalog circa 65-70 days from sprout.
