Reserva Strain: Toofless Alien
Genetic Heritage - Ripley's OG x Toof Decay
Seed Type: F3 Feminised Automatic
Project introduction and Overview:
We've had so many questions about Toofless Alien from old-time MephHeads asking when, if ever, she will make her return. Now, after all this time she's back with our first wave Reserva! Toofless Alien was originally released way back when, during our first run of Limited Editions, back when Mephisto was still in its infancy and when hardly anybody knew who we were. You might not have heard the hype about Toofless Alien because, frankly, not many were around to enjoy her! She was a long time favourite of Tim’s, he often ran her to top up his personal stash, but like the Dragon guarding his treasure, he was reluctant to release her into the wilder world. Maybe that’s a bit fanciful, the truth is she has been on our list of re-releases for a number of years now, but the hype for other strains would always win out until Tim put his foot down in early 2019 and demanded that we find a way to get her back into the world. Toofless Alien is a hybrid between two of our favourite strains - Ripley's OG x Toof Decay, with Ripley's influence amping up the Toof Decay yield, we've seen some monsters emerge from our previous grows.
Strain behavior and structure:
Toofless Alien gets going right from the off, and she doesn’t stop. With nothing but a little leaf tucking, we’ve seen her grow twin main colas almost, with plenty of other side branches producing fat colas of their own. A great plant for rookies and veterans alike, she’s a breeze to grow and is consistently healthy throughout. With a mild scent throughout her growth, with the correct protection could be considered for those needing a more stealthy grow.

Reserva Strain: Gold Glue
Genetic Heritage - 24 Carat x 4 Assed Monkey
Seed Type: F3 Feminised Automatic
Project introduction and Overview:
Gold Glue: The Midas Touch!
Gold Glue was originally a strain we released as part of the 2017 Illuminautos, and both ourselves here at MG, and our customers fell in love with this lady! She was later added as a Limited Edition in 2018 and she's so good we had to bring her back as a permanent addition in our first wave Reserva release! She is a combination of two really stellar strains from the Mephisto Catalogue; our oldest and most sentimental strain 24 Carat, and one of our newest and fun strains 4 Assed Monkey. Being a blend of old school genetics in the form of the Afghani 24 Carat and the newer school of Gorilla Glue, she is a fantastic strain to behold. The two strains have combined to create a stupendously nice amalgamation of complex, delicious flavours as part of a powerful stout plant that's great fun to grow.
Strain behavior and structure:
Gold Glue is a small to medium sized plant very much on the indica side of the spectrum. She has a bushy structure, thick green leaves and stout stems, but given ample rootspace, good environment and capable hands she can become surprisingly big. She's also pretty versatile in that if you restrict her pot size she can be run as part of an Autoflower Sea Of Green arrangement, due to being a more compact plant that can then also yield really well in smaller spaces. Gold Glue will benefit nicely from training, and if high humidity is an issue, because of the end density of her flowers we would recommend training to spread the flower mass across the plant. Gold Glue runs through the stages of an autoflower pretty quickly, transitioning quickly from seedling, to pre-flower, to flower. However, once she's in flower, she flowers hard, creating large, heavy and dense flowers. She is also a very oily girl and a magnificent little hash plant. She's amongst the easiest to harvest, manicure and process and, due to the density of the buds, the yield can be deceptively really impressive. Overall she's got a lot of admirable qualities and is great fun to grow, although be sure to get the first 3 weeks correct and it's a breeze from there.
Strain figures and info:
Size - 45 - 70cm Structure - Bushy with thick stems Indica/Sativa - 75/25 Cycle Time - 60-70 days from sprout Yield - 60 to 100g Aroma - Sweet and fruity Taste - Sweet, fruity, tropical to creamy coffee and sour Effect - Heavy on the body, pleasant to the mind, zen-like. Medicinal Benefits - Sedative, narcotic, relaxing. Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Great candidate to process, little to no waste from this girl

Reserva Strain: Double Grape
Genetic Heritage - Sour Stomper x Grape Crinkle
Seed Type: F7 Feminised Automatic
Project introduction and Overview:
Originally part of our second Illuminauto drop, advancing to a long stint as our best selling Limited Edition ever, and now a permanent addition to our catalogue as part of our first wave Reserva release! Here's what we said way back on her first release: 'Another clash of the Artisanal titans in the form of the two strains of grape heritage. Sour Stomper (Sour crack - Grape Pheno x Grape Stomper OG) x Grape Crinkle (Canadian Crinkle x Supernatural x Ripley's OG)
From the offset of our F3 Artisanal run in winter 2016 we had this cross pegged and written on our project board as a MUST DO! Insanely frosty and bursting with flavour, ideal strain for extraction!'This was the first Illuminauto strain to sell out from the 2nd drop, we received such good feedback we just had to continue the line and make her available again.
Strain behavior and structure:
Double Grape is an all-round pleasure to grow. She's easy to grow and manicure and all too easy to consume! One of our frostiest, oiliest varieties ever and Double Grape packs a punch too. She has very nice vigour and grows relatively open, bushes naturally with some leaf tucking but also will adapt very nicely to LST and other forms of training when performed correctly. The cycle time is medium at 65-70 days to bring her to fruition in ideal conditions and is definitely one of the most pleasurable strains to grow from any of our collections.
Strain figures and info:
Size - 55 - 80 cm Structure - Average Medium height but bushy Indica/Sativa - 60/40 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Aroma - Strong complex aroma, blending sweet and sour, grapes and gas. Taste - Deep rich red grape to sweeter grape pop Effect - Potent hybrid, both stimulating and sedative depending on tolerance and consumption Medicinal Benefits - Great for aches, pains, sleep and appetite stimulation Cannabinoids - 21.78% THC from a random flower tested by Canna, Independent tests have seen as high as 27.53% total cannabinoids. Extract information - Perfect extract candidate - Very High in resin, oil and terps.

Reserva Strain: White Crack
Genetic Heritage - Sour Crack x Walter White
Seed Type: F3 Feminised Automatic
Project introduction and Overview:
White Crack: The new special for our favourite crack head - Tyrone.
White Crack was initially just given out as a freebie for European orders during 2016-2017, she recieved such good feedback she was added as a Worldwide Limited Edition in 2018 and now she's back again, this time with our first wave Reserva release! Combining two of our Original strains, Walter White and Sour Crack, two strains we really cherish as part of our catalogue and history of work. White Crack is stupendously nice and a case of the sum being even better than the parts! She has also returned one of the highest cannabinoid analysis test results with one of our customers achieving over 27% THC, at the time we believe that was the highest strength autoflower on the planet!
Strain behavior and structure:
White Crack is a winner on a lot of levels. She displays decent vigour, and with a little encouragement via some simple leaf tucking, can become a really full bush of flowers. Yield potential is really high too, either she'll put out some very hench cola's, or if you've helped her to bush out she'll make a whole plants worth of compact crystally nugs just spread out between all her branches. There is some variation between phenotypes, there are some Sour Crack dominant phenos which stay smaller but thicker, however, they're bigger than the Sour Crack parent, and these finish the fastest. There's an average size phenotype that is a true blend between both strains. The size of this pheno is medium to large but it packs a lot of flowers, branches well, and the finish time is very respectable. Lastly, there's a larger, more Walter White dominant pheno with some extra hybrid vigour added in. This one will produce more yield but it's finish time will be later towards the end of the 75 day harvest window. The larger phenos will benefit from clearing out of the plant bottoms and inners in order to concentrate the energy into the main colas. Overall, this is an enjoyable, not too tricky plant to grow that delivers a spectacular end product.
Strain figures and info:
**Size -**60 to 90cm Structure - Branchy Indica/Sativa - 75/25 Cycle Time - 65 to 75 days from sprout Yield - 100 to 180g Aroma - Funky, creamy, sweet Taste - Creamy, peppery hints, sweet Effect - Very powerful high, not for amateur tokers Medicinal Benefits - Sedative pain killing qualities, appetite and sleep inducing Cannabinoids - Independtly tested at over 27% THC Extract information - Super high resin levels makes for great squishing potential.

Reserva Strain: ManBearAlienPig
Genetic Heritage - 3 Bears OG x Ripley's OG
Seed Type: F3 Feminised Automatic
Project introduction and Overview:
ManBearAlienPig. MBAP to her friends. A legend of a strain and just the The Rock, FINALLY, MBAP is back in our catalogue. Originally release as Illuminauto #26, MBAP has long had a glowing reputation, and it hasn't been hard to figure out why. One of our top three most requested strains ever, extinct or not, adding back in to the lineup at the very first opportunity was a no-brainer.
Strain behavior and structure:
We've loved our grows of MBAP through the years; her potential for size in good conditions, even with just some light LST has convinced us she has TigerBlood and AdonisDNA, baby! She can grow as wide as she does tall, so will need to be given room to spread. A strong start is key to this strain, and balancing out nutrient levels once the feeds begin is essential. She can be finicky with nutes at the start, so make sure to read her well and give her a little love in all the right places.
Strain figures and info:
**Size -**70 to 100 Structure - Large and wide Indica/Sativa - 70/30 Cycle Time - 70 - 80 days from sprout Yield - 120 to 300 grams Aroma - Creamy, lemon Taste - Fruity, mild citrus, Ripley's unique taste is not lost. Effect - Relaxing and cerebral-bodyish Medicinal Benefits - Anti-insomnia Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Like Loki's dad. A frost giant.
good luck everyone 
will there be any grow off contests?? with provided seeds?
