Mephisto genetics seem to be more consistent and of a higher quality than a lot of the other breeders.
Autos are their own world, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Life is full of compromises and nothing is perfect. For lots of people what we gain with autos outweighs what we lose. I grow 100% autos, indoors and out, because in both situations currently photos are not an option for me. If that changed, I would go back to photos in a heartbeat. But as things stand, I am glad that autos exist and that companies like Mephisto are putting out top quality auto genetics.
So keep your expectations in check, and know that most people who are 'hyping' Mephisto are comparing them to other autos, not to photos. The buds can be resinous and sticky and potent, but they also are what they are and have their limitations. That's my experience, others might have different ones.

I've only grown their autos so not sure, but considering the quality and the price (if bought direct) it's a win-win.

Idk about everyone else's experience but I had plenty of time to pick out the seeds I wanted after they opened on Monday. I checked several hours later and most of the products were still available.

I don't know what my problem was but I could not get them into my cart. I watched the seeds I was trying for go from 7 to 5 to 3 in minutes at the end of the day there were 3s still available but not to me. Cleared my history no help. I tried more than one browser no help. Ill stick with my local seed bank.

Theu were only open till 12:10. The site let people who spam re-fresh in early and causeing crashes and errors for others that don't know the game. How many people can really get in on a shit website to order in 20-30 min? You got lucky, but definitely are not the "normal" for most peoples experience trying to order.

The site showed seeds, but the store was closed. That's why you couldn't add to your cart.

the site was acting all kinds of weird on that drop. Let's hope that consequent Monday drops meet some demand and ease up the pressure on their servers. Holy shit man

MattyMatt already explained this....this is really an exclamation point, as I agree 100%
As a business they have a right and obligation to chose their own business model. They aren't equipped to sell direct anymore, so they are moving towards selling through distributors. This is a common move for a growing business. Trust me...I know this first hand. Mephisto became huge with everyone raving about the "autoflower revolution" and everyone wanted in. Their infrastructure seemingly couldn't cope with the volume without crashing. I used to buy direct but now I go to Supreme Seeds for Mephisto. I get my seeds a lot faster that way. This is a smart move for Mephisto. They already had the best auto seeds in the world but it turns out they are business savvy too. The press releases on Reddit are impressive, the branding, grow guides, strain guides...all the literature is pro-level and very slick. I was worried that they were done but it looks like they were re-tooling instead.

A friend has expressed that an older family member of theirs wanted to grow cannabis, but they're a very normal gardener and if they planted photos now the plants would be vegging for 6 months. To keep them from having to deal with monsters, and because I've had some interest in growing autos of my own (or at least having the option), I registered this week and I'm hoping to grab a pack on Monday.
I've seen people saying they expect the restock to be gone really quickly; I assume this is because Ripley's is one of their most potent strains. Any advice on how prefereable the restock beans would be to the starters? I know that it's hard to evaluate because we don't know the strains in the starters, but I also feel like given Meph's reputation there's not much room to go wrong.

No clue what will be in the starters, but Ripley's is 70% Indica, up to 300 grams per plant OPTIMAL conditions. Hubbabubbahaze is 85% Sativa and again a very large plant. Super Lemon Haze is mostly Sativa but medium in size. I have all of these and i would definitely scoop them if you are interested. ROG uses Cali Connections Alien OG to auto, Hubbabubbahaze is Serious Seeds 90s Bubblegum x Mr Nice Mango Haze and Super Orange Haze is Lady Sativa Orange genetics x Super Lemon Haze(forgot breeder but straight from Barcelona Spain). Good genetics from good breeders in these 3 and they offer mostly Indica and mostly Sativa for different smokes and they will yeild.

Then don’t hype the drop. This is bullshit. You dont want to make the investment in infrastructure to support a consumer rollout? Then don’t frigging do it! It’s moronic! It’s a distribution strategy. Does not take an MBA to figure out. F these guys. Lots of other genetics. You can’t abouse your customers like this!
