Free 600 watt HPS bulbs… Yup, FREE!…

October 23, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

Inspired by our friend Dug who is giving away a grow light (check out his “paying it forward” video here – https://youtu.be/Y8kmAYqeAA0), it made us think about some the things that we have that might be of use to others.

We change our 600 watt HPS bulbs religiously based on the manufacturers recommendation, popular urban myths and throwing darts at a calendar while blind folded, so when combining all of these scientific methods we end up changing out our bulbs every 6 to 12 months, but but for some reason we never throw them away.

No, these bulbs are not brand new but they most certainly have some life left in them.

If you are short a bulb (and a little money) for you grow then nothing is going to happen, so we would like to give those folks a hand if we can.

All you have to do is drop us an email (Info@MaineSeedlings.com) and we will give these bulbs away a pair at a time until they are gone.

There are EyeHortilux, Yield Lab, Apollo and other brands in that stack of bulbs and be given away paired by brand but by the luck of the draw. Some will even come in their original boxes (no, we don’t throw anything away!).

The only stipulations are that you must live in Maine and you would need to pick them up in the Portland area.

If these bulbs could help you get your grow going then please email us today.

Lastly, speaking of Dug and his free light giveaway, we are adding two clones for him to give away with his light, so check out his video, leave a comment and if you win you’ll get the light AND a couple clones.

Win a 400 watt HPS lighting fixture and bulb!…

October 21, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

My friend Smokin’ Dug is paying it forward, someone was kind enough to give him a 400 watt HPS fixture and bulb setup to help him get started growing his medical marijuana and since recently winning a Spectrum King LED light Dug no longer has a need for this and he wants to do for another what someone did for him.

If you are interested in being considered for this light go check out Dug’s YouTube channel and leave a comment under this video (https://youtu.be/Y8kmAYqeAA0).

This light will be awarded to someone who is in need of medicine and also in need of a little help to make this happen.

In an effort to help the winner out (whoever you may be), we want to join Dug in the spirit of paying it forward and will give them two of our Maine Seedlings clones to go with this light.

There two stipulations, that you live in Maine and are a military veteran.

Good luck everyone, head over and leave your comment with Dug for your chance to win!

While you are at his channel be sure to check out what his harvest was like growing with nothing but a Spectrum King 100 watt closet case (https://youtu.be/oct10VnbWrc).

It’s not enough to just own a Ph meter…

October 14, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

There are 3 parts to this, owning a Ph meter, calibrating it, and USING IT!

Probably the one factor that will most negatively impact your medical marijuana plants is the Ph, if it’s out of whack I promise you your plants will respond in kind.

But not only do you need to use your Ph pen (at least weekly), you need to calibrate it as well, if you don’t regularly calibrate your pen how in the world do you know if it is anywhere near accurate?

The process could not be simpler or take less time and the benefits it will provide you and your medical marijuana plants will be directly reflected in their health and your harvest.

The steps are short and simple:

1. Buy a Ph pen

2. Buy calibration solution

3. Setup an alert/alarm to remind you calibrate you pen (weekly)

4. Poor calibration fluid in a small measuring glass, let it sit for 45-60 seconds and adjust your pen to match the calibration fluid (either 4.01 or 7.0 depending on the calibration fluid you purchase)

See, told you it was easy.

Here are direct links to Amazon for the items talked about in this episode:

Ph Meter – $17.59

Calibration Fluid – $20.49

5 Ounce/150cc Glass Measuring Cup -$5.51

1 ounce/30cc Mini Measuring Shot Glass – $5.63

General Hydroponics pH Up & pH Down – $15.38

I think that pretty much wraps up the show notes for The Marijuana Minute episode 5.

Ladybugs, why they should be part of your marijuana grow…

October 7, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

Here’s episode 4 of “The Marijuana Minute“, in it we talk about ladybugs, why you should really have them as a regular part of your (indoor) marijuana grow room and how to keep them alive even when there are no other bugs for them to eat.

They are a very inexpensive insurance policy and you can get them on Amazon (we ordered 1500 of the girls for $6.50) and if/when you order them DO NOT select expedited shipping, even if you don’t have Amazon Prime (with the free 2 day shipping) the bugs will get to you in just 2-4 days. So save your money.

Here’s an image from our last order and out of the 1500 ladybugs I’d be surprised if the dead bugs added up to 25.

And here’s an image of the girls having a snack at our DIY “feeding station“.

Lastly, when you do add them to your grow room do it when your lights are off, this way the girls will “wake up” in their new environment. If they arrive while your lights are on you can store them in your frig (NOT freezer) until the lights go out. But it will do them no harm to released into your room when the lights on.

Here are direct links for items mentioned on this episode:

NOTE: At the time we recorded this video the price was $6.50 but prices do fluctuate with the seasons, the colder it is the higher the price.

A DIY solutions bucket for you marijuana grow room…

October 3, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

Here is our video showing you our DIY nutrient solutions bucket that we use on our marijuana grow rooms.

A couple points:

You will want to mount the spout just high enough so that if/when you set the bucket on a hard surface the spout does not come in contact with/hit it (and break).

Just the opposite on the air hose, put it just low enough so that the cover does not come in contact with the air hose, but not too low as you will lose capacity in your solutions bucket.

This is the setup we have on one of our mom and clones room.

Here are Amazon links to the products we used to make our solutions buckets:

5 Gallon Bucket – $6.95

5 Gallon Bucket Cover – $7.95 (get it Wal-Mart for $1.25)

Spout – $4.95

Aquarium Air Pump – $8.68

10 Air Stones – $2.40

25 feet Air Hose – $3.83

Look at what 100 watt light can do!…

September 30, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

A fan and friend “Smokin’ Dug” recently posted this video on YouTube to show how his grow went using just a single 100 watt Closet Case LED grow light from Spectrum King.

One word really does sum it up, “un-freaking-believable!“.

Though we are not at all surprised because we own these lights too well and have been amazed at how well our plants have responded since the very first day we plugging them in. They are much thicker plant with shorter internodal spacing and more overall growth, check out our previous post comparing our clones grown under T5 lights vs. Spectrum King LED.(https://youtu.be/5_ol6s2CSjQ).

Spectrum King also gave me some information to share with you, if you are a military veteran Spectrum King wants to say “THANK YOU” for your service by giving you discount on your purchase. Two things, first – you must have proof of your military service (that you are in fact a veteran), second – you can’t use the discount on sale items. So if you are a veteran and would like to save 15% off the best LED lights on the market gather up your discharge papers and give them a call.

We have roots!…

September 21, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

ROOTS! It’s the sweet sign of success. After what feels like forever you can finally exhale when you see that all the time and effort you put into “creating a new life” has finally paid off!

I love my job.

Below your (marijuana) grow…

September 16, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

If you look at the bottom 20-25% of your grow, this is exactly what you should find:

You shouldn’t find anything here, zero, zilch, nada! Why? Because nothing good ever happens here! Chances are you won’t get any usable medicine but I promise that if you get powdery mildew it will get its start here in “no mans land” and by the time you see it it’ll be too late.

And disease prevention is not the only benefit you’ll get from “pot scaping“, because nothing on the bottom means more on the top (these really are the tops of the trimmed plants pictured above)!

The hairs of this Cheese from 710 genetics are starting to brown…. the end is near!

Keep in mind that it’s never too late to start landscaping the scrub from the bottom of your plants, so next time you are in your garden take a look below and take no prisoners!

August strain of the month – THC Bomb!…

August 2, 2016August 5, 2017 / Scott

Medical Marijuana Clones — “THC Bomb has big, rock-hard buds”

“Strain of The Month” is something we hope to start doing on a regular basis, it will allow us to share details, reviews and other information about the medical marijuana strains we offer to our patients. The kind of information that will help you decide what strain you want to invest your time and money in, that is the best fit for your medical needs and grow experience.

We are starting this off with a patient (and our) favorite, THC Bomb from Bomb Seeds, their original and signature strain.

Similar to Big Bud, you will see really big, rock-hard buds that ends in a larger than normal harvest despite the fact that this is a relatively short plant (great for indoor grows). Add to that are the explosively high THC levels of 20-25% (when grown in ideal conditions). Speaking of growing, this is a very hardy, easy plant to grow (even for beginners) in soil or hydroponically. Obviously those growing outdoors in dirt will experience the largest yields.

Because of these qualities (and others) we confidently recommend the THC Bomb to first time growers.

And when it’s time to harvest your buds will be covered, literally, in frosty white trichromes.

THC Bomb is unique on so many levels: yield size, medicine strength, flavor and fast budding!

THC Bomb was created in the Netherlands by Bomb Seeds, is a hybrid strain (combination of Indica and Sativa genetics), but is Indica dominant (75% Indica and 25% Sativa).

Medical uses include treatment of insomnia, stress/anxiety, pain relief and appetite stimulation. This is what Leafly has to say about THC Bomb:

Growing details:

Plant Height: Short (2-3 feet)
Flowering Time Indoor: 55 – 65 days (~60 days)
THC: Very High (20-25%)
Yield: Very High (550-650g/m²)
Grow Difficulty: Easy
High: Strong, all round buzz

Patient reviews of THC Bomb:

“Very good medicine. Amazing yield. Nice hard buds. Many strong side branches with big long buds and it was amazing.”

“Very resinous strain. Long side branches with heavy big buds need support. Good for muscle spasms do to MS, works well as appetite stimulant. Those are things I noticed.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STRAIN!!!”

Lastly, because we have a limited number of THC Bomb clones available we are limiting patients to a max of one 6-pack and (sorry) but your free 7th plant will be of a different strain.

If you are interested in getting your hands on this hearty, potent, easy to grow medical marijuana clone you can reach us via email (Info@MaineSeedlings.com), text us (1-207-613-5650) or leave us a voicemail to place an order, setup an appointment, or ask any questions.

*These marijuana clones are available to Maine Medical Marijuana patients, or medical patients that have Maine reciprocity.
