Cool news, word is that Loompas Yeti OG is some bombass smoke also
Best of luck in your upcoming and current projects

Hi Micth, things are looking great!
Can't believe I missed you guy's at spannabis.
Keep up the great work bro.

Hope you enjoyed it! It was a very busy event, just happened to bump into some people but also missed a lot of people too!
I'll have a look on my computer and see what else I can find.
People have been impressed with walter White, one analysis showed 20.1 % and another showed 17.7% thc, but either way it's some nice herb! She placed 3rd in a small contest of +/- 40 samples.
One of the next projects to work will be a walter white /amnesia haze.
Thanks guys
Would be great thanks.
Pretty strong testings and congrats on the placing !
Not to be negative, the Walter White sounds / Amnesia Haze could be like a core cut on steroids, but maybe to close to the Fantasmo Express ?
Would be bomb with some heavy indica with 1:4 cbd/thc ratio.
It would also be interesting to test the current strains "SOG" capabilities, pot size vs yield and overall floral production. With a aim to try make the most effecient auto kinda project.
When the sweet spot is found (highest ratio with lowest volume of pot/soil) try to breed and improve to see how far one could get at the fourth filial generation for instance. 3 Gallon monsters maybe? lol
It could also be fun to try and breed for purely extraction purpose, Whole plant extracts. Might develop a cultivar whichs instead of developing calyxes, stops floral production grow and starts to pump out resins instead, like typical hash cultivars.
keep it up
Interesting ideas, but right now we have 2-3 basic goals for the next couple of years.
1) work our favourite strains into autos
2) develop good outdoor specific varieties
3) bx certain strains from the existing catalogue and work to through to auto again to achieve even higher quality.
Sog and commercial applications of autos is something we are very interested in too but we've also got to keep things simple and manageable - pretty full plate already.
Although not quite as you describe, talking about proper morrocan type hash plants, but we do have a couple of strains that are ideal for concentrates, 24 carat for example turns on a lot of frost all over.
Bettering that, when it's fully auto the grape stomper Og project is basically covered in resin, depending how the plant structure is in when it's fully auto, could be another great candidate for hash making.
Cheers

Much apreciated, thanks for the information.
It sounds right/wise to especially do the bx Works and then a Little play with the outdoor varietals with your newly required genetics (loompa etc), to make mold resiliant pollen injections ehe.
Rather perfection of 15 strains, than have 45 mediocre ones.

We like to play and make some limited edition hybrids between our own lines when the strains are fully auto, but for me.. I would like our main strains to stay around the 10-12 region, that should leave everyone a few choices to fit their wants and needs and also allow us to focus without loosing track.
We've started our outdoor works, it's going to be a very busy season I think!

here are some of the fruits of the last project run..
sour stomper bud shot - with flash
without flash
With some fresh frozen isolator 90 micron
Karmas og aka bear og x auto triangle kush
I'd like to get these sent for analysis, the return on kief and isolator for the sour stomper og has been magnificent.
cheers, mitch

Why does everyone charge so much for auto seeds when they are inferior to photo period strains?
That's a possibility but also down to pure trichome coverage.
Kief return through our 00 box work table was over 3x any of the other strains put through it from this run.
All being well if there's a window of opportunity this summer the f2's from some of the above projects will be run. Cheers

Real interested in your skywalker x triangle, both are the top two concentrate strains ive happened to have the pleasure of trying some years ago and nothing has beat them yet, flavour and terp wise in bho.
If I can get them ill put some out here. Great work man!
take care, hydro.

I have to echo that and say the skywalker cut we were working with.. Made the best bubble hash out of anything, really really oily and you had to keep it in the fridge to stop it from melting.
Will be interesting to see if we've managed to retain that oiliness in the auto form,
Cheers and thanks for popping in,
Mitch
True that, we gotta keep watching how it goes with F3 and F4 in terms of overall capitate stalked lenght.That's a possibility but also down to pure trichome coverage.

It packs resing really well no matter what.
Keep breeding it !
Mitch. Why don't you list what each strain was derived from? Many people like to see where a plants genetics originated when wanting to try a new strain. I was just looking at the tyrone special but I wouldn't buy any of your strains because I don't know what kind of phenos I could be getting. Not knowing where the genes came from....Are all your strains 100% stable?
Do you know the complete history of everything you've grown?
Whilst the original auto candidates are important to shaping a project, I also believe the photoperiod candidate and the subsequent selections in the non-auto to auto process to be more important.
Along time ago, I was like you with a little closet making auto x auto crosses between a lot of different plants, some genetics were gifted, the vast majority were bought. But given that those breeder descriptions might not even be accurate to begin with it wasn't a concern to worry investigating, more critical to develop and find nice lines within them.
Any hybrids used to make these first generation of Mephisto auto's were worked for at least 3 generations, up to 6 by me over time.
Now we are working the second collection of projects using current Mephisto strains as the auto trait donors and expect to see even better results, as is beginning to be evidenced in the last f1 project run shown recently.
For example by the time the auto livers bx project is released in a few years, it will have been worked to auto, outcrossed back to the photoperiod and re-worked to auto. 8-9 generations of breeding in total.
As far as stability goes, growing from seed there's always going to be some variation but we do our best to minimise that to as few phenotypes as possible and also limit the degrees of difference between sister plants.

Cool. What strain is your most potent and a above average yielder?
A lot are coming out around 19%, (would like to break the 20%.)
Right now I'm really liking the sour orange diesel kush - f3 as a hybrid (but f4 in the non auto to auto to auto process)
She has a nice amount of sativa and likes to grow long colas, flowers have a nice density too.
In terms of yield, around 100g is quite routine, 150+ isn't out of the question.
This summer we plan to trial each variety outdoors in a 50 litre pot/bin, I think that's about 13gal - should be fun
The auto in the auto sour orange diesel was auto orange diesel f3 (auto diesel x auto amnesia)
The auto in the auto triangle Kush was auto white ak47 (auto White Russian x auto ak47)
Both auto parents were on the medium to large side - well past the dwarf stage of autos). The pure auto triangle kush is medium in stature but easily makes multi-tops and likes to bush out but blended with the s.o.d plants are more typical, have higher symmetry, being main cola dominant with good length secondaries.
1m tall and more is quite typical in good conditions.
