Mephisto Genetics A-Train's Mephisto/GBD Autoflower Mix Adventures.... 2018 Limited Edition and Artisanal Strains Test

[A-Train]

Hi ATrain...beautiful ladies hon!!

Just found your thread, may I tag along? For my next grow I plan on using Roots Organics with the Mephisto soil amendment in my auto-pots with air-domes. Phew, that was a mouthful! That is...if I can ever catch it back in stock.

Def a good plan and your more than welcome to kick it here . I ran auto pots and hated them, but that was trying to mix nutes and keep a res mixed and ph in check with the nute buildup in the tubes. A real mess. But i believe the way your planning should be hassle free. Good luck finding it in stock its a great product and worth the wait. Normally i share most things but my advice is be greedy if you catch it in shop lol

Its not soil. Mephisto now calls it Autoflower Super Soil Mix. Its a powdered "amendment" that you add to soil.

It consists of bone meal, fish bone meal, blood meal, bat guano, potash, dolomite, azomite, epsom salt, and humic acid.

Autoflower Super Soil Mix: To use this, simply add One Scoop (Two Tablespoons) of mix per gallon of premium potting soil, preferably Roots Original. Blend the soil and mix until the ammendments are distributed throughout. This is now ready to use Autoflower Super Soil.Layer the bottom half of your pot with the Autoflower Super Soil and the top half with unammended soil.Plant, water, and enjoy the results!*Additional Notes*-Earthworm Castings are great! I use them at up to 30%, but usually around 20% (1 gallon of worm castings to one 1.5cu ft bag of soil)-This mix can be used with coco. Instead of having two layers, as described above, you should use three layers. Full strength Super Coco in the bottom 1/3rdof the pot (2 Tbs per gallon), 1/2 strength in the middle 1/3rd of the pot (1 Tbs per gallon), and straight coco in the top 1/3rd of the pot.

He handled that one. Unfortuanately ot is only offered stateside currently. I cannot tell ya the equivalent across the pond. Its nothing new to growing the amendments used are the same as you can purchase. But the science and testing getting it right would more than likely take a while to perfect. I prefer to purchase a quality product from a quality person/company myself.

dewd! Tag me in why don't ya! My porn subscription is still good, right? .... I'm digging you going KISS brudda, and you're off to a excellent start as usual-
...growth jumps are impressive! The BS has framed up interestingly, never seen one stretch and column-up like this,.. reminds me of that G'OG from a little while back... stoked on the color! This one looks to be going deep purp's, like mine did- Ink-dipped all the way! It's givin' me Red Family pangs -- nothing smells quite like them...... Ahhh, Skyrone Stomper, looking forward to that too... I have some beans, but no chance to run them yet, so at least I'll get a killer preview here! That one is getting some legs too,..something in your grow formula man, you get such great branching and stretch consistently ... this will be a great grow to watch, given how your env./light parameters are dialed in so spot-on, it'll put the amendment to a cleaner test w/o the usual vagaries...
..... Always a pleasure my friend!

>> Komplex, Autotron, MassMom- word man, on KS- - they started out well recommended, and tested out well at first, but as more time and numbers testing/results added up, the faster it went upside down,... quality control issues I'd say, and as A-T mentioned, the dude didn't even stick around for the initial trial testing past a few weeks we know he had employee issues then, but now-??... Since then, the number of peep's with issues, complaints has been pretty high,.. I've seen a lot of folks in Sick Bay using KS, usually a P and/or K defc. issues, micro's,... for the $$, it's unacceptable! ...... Komplex, it's Biotabs that Mephisto uses on the Farm,...this mix was developed by their USA associate GBD ..... Autotron, I'm with you on the quality, not quantity deal! ...... and in any case with such soils, I still recommend having "back-up" organic nutes on hand, especially micronutes... most of these are immobile types, so a constant low level supply needs be available for uptake,... also, a little PK boosting during bloom can fatten things up a notch or two! Not necessary usually, but it can help... larger plants, smaller pots can make for depletion issues later in the game, at the worst possible time... Just a precaution based on what I see staggering into the Infirmary on occasion!

i would prefer that aswell but cannot seem to find a super soil anywhere in the uk, although like you say the individual ingredients are available and i've found subcools recipe for a super soil, going to have to 'cook' that because i want to just water my girls, thanks

@Waira I guess I read it wrong. So @gbd created both the Mephisto atoflower mix and biotabs? That’s a talented dude right there

:smoking: no mate, Biotabs is a totally separate Dutch company,... Mephisto uses them because their all organic stuff is so good, and it takes the burden of monkey-fucking around with various nutes with various plants at various stages away, a HUGE time saver for them,... keep in mind, Mephistos' farm is only a few people! .... GBD made his mix a couple years ago, and started offering it here- ... and yes, he is damn good, particularly with breeding.. that's a Magic Eye that can't be book learned, or even taught in some cases!

@Waira my btotha from anotha motha.... how are you my friend. Yes sir you and @F.N. have all access passes all the time my friends and i think you both knoe this lol.


The BS actually is shaping up just like my last one as far as structure and as i think you mentioned they are quite unlike most of the others i have seen here. She has been vigorous and the last one was in poor health. Just didnt take well to my old regiment. The colors were no where near as fark and yield was lower but this gal is shaping up nicely.

I agree in the statement of having a fee thing on hand when needed. These first few will go all natural besides the recharge but later i plan on maybe adding a little Nectar for the Gods Herculean Harvest during flowering. That is a 0 6 0 nutient i really liked from oregons only and did a good job in some past testing.


As always good to see you here my friend hope all is well on yohr end with famiky and christmas went well .... gearing up gor the new year i assue?
