Mephisto Genetics The Mephisto story...so far

[koose]

Great intro thanks. Can't wait for the book and movie. For us 'wanna be somewhere else' I recently heard someone say "The difference between a dream and a goal is a timeline". I am trying now to put that into effect. Also as concerns education, if I had it to do over, I would have put some small money making skills, certificates, etc early in my University education to fall back on in case I wanted to change course before my degree was finished. I knew a guy who said that after he had a small sailboat(think styro foam dingy) renting business that was easy money for cheap start up , he was confident for then forward that he could always fall back on that for $'s.

thanks mate, I totally agree with you.
Not to sound all airy fairy, but If you have a dream you are serious about, put it down on paper.. Figure out where you are now, where you want to be and the steps you need to make in order to get there.
Sometimes a little luck is involved but hard work will take you most of the way.
The small business idea is great, if someone won't employ you, employ yourself... if you can turn over a little cash to support yourself and have some fun whilst doing it, it's 100x better than being stuck.
Cheers, and thanks for stopping by. Mitch

Hey guys sorry for the delay,

Here's the final installment of our intro thread, now we have our own forum to play in, i'll get an on going farm journal started.

Outdoor:
The Greenhouses, looking greener each week
The logs covered with tarps are our soil stores where we recycle all our soil (should have a very nice stockpile for next spring)

Here's a peek into one greenhouse, some of these AF's got a little stunted through some crazy indoor heat (pre-A/C) but will make fine smoke all the same.
The ones started outside have been motoring along.

Here is an outdoor plot we have been gradually clearing for some photoperiods we have been vegging (and currently outgrowing) in a greenhouse. It's now getting some good daylight in there minus some trees.

Here's a pregnant with fem pollen AF from another batch in a greenhouse.

Indoor:
Here are some random photoperiod plant budshots from the current reg seedrun.

c99 - from bro's grimm stock

The white - harbouring 'the white train' seeds. The white x OG Ghost Train Haze

Highland Mexican - I love chimeras work

Random stuff -

The kief (pictured earlier in the thread) , which we acquire a lot of during the de-seeding process we really wanted to press.
So 10 minutes and using some wood laying around and a clamp, bingo we have a press.

Here are results from the press - Filling the press creates around a 30g square of hash. Been some trial and error involved but got the hang of it now.

The piece on the right was pressed with some added moisture only, the left piece was the last piece we did which the kief was heated and had moisture added.

In conclusion:
we are about 2.5 months away from the completion of our first year in Spain.
It's been tough, a lot of work.., but year two should be very promising as we get this place exactly how we want it.
I hope you guys have enjoyed the read, and we hope to keep generating a lot more content for everyone to see and follow our progress out here.

Cheers mitch and tim @ mephisto genetics.

I would personally like to thank here, Jorge Cervantes, Azad, Mossy here at AFN for being very welcoming. Tim for being brave and doing this adventure with me. And anyone that's been kind or i've helped or have learnt from along the way.

Thank you so much for this thread Mitch! One of the most inspiring threads I have read in a long time. I find myself sort of in your old situation in england where my biggest passion is illegal, and I feel to old to hide in the dark like a criminal. Always fearing my life and freedom taken away from me at any point. I have been looking in to the possibility of moving to a more sane country for some time, and this thread may-be just what I needed to take the step

I really respect your humble and honest approach as a seed company, and wish you all the best!

Thanks a lot for the feedback
If you have or can make the oppurtunity for yourself, then with careful consideration, do so
If you have the oppurtunity also to travel a little and spend time in countries with a saner outlook on it, it can be very liberating even if only temporary.
Cheers, mitch

I seriously want to pack everything up and move out of the UK and do as you are doing, the laws here (as you know) are pointless and pathetic. My misses said to me in 10 years time she would like to more to Spain, I look forward to that day and the day I win the lottery. Sorted.
