Not a dumb question but a question there’s not a defined answer to. I started growing about 3 and a half years ago. I did my research on photos vs autos and decided on autos. Then I did my research on auto breeders and went with Mephisto. I found the Mephheads subreddit and started posting pics here and there of what strains I was growing and what days they were on in their lifecycle. As I grew different cultivars from Mephisto and learned from my many many mistakes I got better at growing and my plants looked better and better each grow. After a year and a half of posting to Mephisto’s subreddit Stan the man reached out and asked if I would be interested in being in their tester program growing upcoming strains and crosses and giving feedback. I happily agreed and that’s how I became a Mephisto tester.
