Said it before...it's not a contest. Glad you like Mephisto and thanks for growing ours. A better comparison M vs. aft would have been growing like/similar genetics for a better control study. But hey, you grew them both and hopefully reaping the rewards. Congrats!
Most don't know the history of Mephisto...and that's ok. We sleep well at night knowing we are benefiting those that want to grow autos, being a niche market and emphasis on MMJ prospective helping hundreds (or more) with chronic conditions. We donate to several Vets Grow groups and cancer or other debilitating disease where cannabis, our work has made a substantial difference. Notice: donate! Yes, we're not about the almighty buck. We're small USA breeders but known world wide. Collaborating w/ well known photo breeder for project in Canada. Word of mouth is our best advertisement...people know us.
We've have a loyal following both from seed sites and direct since we began our adventure in 2007, and selling regionally, nationally, internationally since 2009. Our gear equals Mitch's work...maybe not in girth, but end result -taste, high. Some can reach a few zips and others "bud on a stick" with same genetics, depending on environment...light, medium, nutes, and more importantly, container size.
As for the poster not aware of REGULAR (non sexed) auto seeds, we prefer to breed regular autos being purists...not altering by CS,GA or other hormone alterations. Generally our autos are 80:20 F:M....no qualms about that as many of our customers prefer making their own medicine using pollen chucking. There are both males and females, just like in photoperiod cousins of the ruderalis plant.
Smoke 'em while you got em.
