I heard Mephisto is king of autos
Great place to jump in with a vision into the future of the industry. With the preference for autoflowers growing, big agriculture is very much dipping their hands into the seedstock game. In the future expect to be locked into seasonal purchases the same as if you were beholden to Monsanto. Taking licensed cuts into the third or further S generation, textbook F1-ing, with the goal of autoflower F1 cuts. The only part missing is to work the final cut into a triploid. At that point we won't be able to breed with the girls or meaningfully clone them without being a true expert in botany!
I am worried about the direction autos are taking. Between this and the genetic gravity well that exotic hybrids are caught in right now, I can truly understand why so, so, so many of the best breeders worldwide have swapped exclusively to regular seeds again.
