He's just got the auto flower hate goggles on. All my plants are too leafy and fluffy for him, regardless if they regulate flowering with a dark period or not.

Whole tent full of mephisto. Haven't been disappointed yet.

Good genes over at mephisto, pricey but good, for me the most impressive part of my bomb seeds thc auto grow is that it's growing pretty decent for the horrid conditions it's spent it's life in, 90+ degree days with 70%rh and only 2 knock off blurples for lights, I forget to water it all the time to the point where the stems sag from dehydration, then have to time I put straight tap water in without declorinating or phing, I feed it when I have time to properly prep the water but have missed quite a few, and it's 4 he dark period is often interrupted by my wife rummaging through the garage where it's kept, no nanners, no pm, 3 ft tall and more bud weight than I would have ever expected

@whitebb2727 knows his shit and his plants always look healthy and we'll cared for, to me that auto looked great, I don't mind a leafy plant as I have time to trim and make hash out of them anyways, I also like to grow a variety of strains and always run an auto or two while I veg them, to say all autos are leafy is a total generalization and just not true, and even leafy bud can rock your socks, my favorite pheno of pineapple chunk is leafy as hell, but the smoke tastes amazing and it packs one hell of a head buzz too
Here's a pic of my thc bomb auto, it grew a bit close to the lights so what few leaves it did have are mostely burned, but even before I wouldn't have called it leafy, bad pic, but only day 55 from seedView attachment 3735277
Thank you.

I'm not really out to get a pat on the back.

Kindnug is ignoring the fact that auto was leafy due to high N and using alfalfa.

You need high N to extend the veg period of an auto. The trade off is you get leafy growth.

I make medicine though so it doesn't matter.


I don't do a fancy trim. Knock the fans off and quick trim on the sugar and in the jar it goes.

Sugar leaf actually adds to the high. Anyone that I've smoked out with that bud wanted it.

My point is that any reputable breeder, photo or auto, are producing plants in the 20% range for THC.

That doesn't really matter either. Its all on how the 60+ cannabinoids and terpenes work together.

I haven't tried bomb autos yet but I have grown a few different photos from them and was impressed.

They can't be cloned + mostly fem, so you're forced to continue buying seeds that produce inferior plants.
I've grown mephisto, the triangle crosses specifically + none resembled TK...
I don't just grow a couple plants in a closet either, 25 mephisto fems last year in the GH.

Your plants were also starved before they had a chance to fully ripen, @whitebb2727 got you beat on growing healthy plants...

Nope. Not starved. Autos fade at the end.

Your outdoor looked like doodoo. Sorry. Limp yellow plants.

I see the 20-25% claims on seedbanks, but where are the real tests from reputable sources like SClabs, etc...

I've never smoked an auto that is as strong as what I already been smoking for years.
PUT IT THAT WAY.

Mephisto put up lab test.

You act like I grow autos only.

I grow everything from regs, fem and autos. I have clones to.

They are in other people's possession but they are there.

Do you have a link to their tests? I would love to see...I grew their TK crosses that don't resemble the real TK @ all

Now listen.

Don't show yourself to be the real fool.

If you have to stoop to name calling the you are lacking in intellect.


No reason to a pissing match. Everyone has a preference. What floats your boat may not float mine.

Your the 1 arguing about how they're so much better than photoperiod, and I've got my own opinion...

Your the 1 asking for PROOF, then talk crap when I post some real dank.
I've smoked those yellow leaves before + they taste horrible, so I'll stick to my methods.

Any1 that's smoked TK knows...
IF all we had to go by were pics, then I wasn't lieing about the leafy-ness of autos compared to what I been growing.

Yours looks great, I'm talking about those pics Atulip posted...ofc that red light doesn't help any!
I just love the flavor of TK, which is why I chose mephisto to pop my auto-cherry.
The flavor didn't taste like Tk + potency in flower form was disappointing.
I dry sifted/pressed rosin out of all of it which turned it into something that I enjoyed, but still didn't resemble TK rosin.

I never once said they were better.

Don't put words in my mouth. I said that good autos are on par with good photos.
Well I guess what I'm saying is there are no autos that fall into the ELITE category.
I didn't know people were just looking for good, that's easy to find.
