Liner notes

On August 12, 2016, Mephisto Genetics faced a very skeptical Adam Dunn and Mitch Shanasa. What follows is a masterclass in modern autoflower breeding, as Mephisto proves that high-terpene, high-potency "dank" weed can be grown in under 70 days from seed. We dive into the science of their breeding programs at Autoflower.net, the debate between autos and photoperiods, and why the "Mephisto Method" is the gold standard. [00:00] - Intro [01:19:15] - The Mephisto Method: Mitch and Tim break down the selection process for stable autos [01:22:30] - The "Terpene Shield": Discussing why these autos aren't just "Ruderalis hay" anymore [01:25:44] - Breeding for Potency: How they hit the 20%+ THC mark in a 65-day plant [01:30:12] - Auto vs. Photo: The heated debate on whether autos will ever replace mother plants [01:38:50] - Mephisto on Instagram: Following the "work" live as it happens
