Free 600 watt HPS bulbs… Yup, FREE!…

Hortilux marijuana grow lightsInspired 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!).

Yield Lab marijuana grow lightsThe 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!…


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).

New clones are almost ready!

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

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.

Look at what 100 watt light can do!…

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!…

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.

More marijuana garden pictures from our readers…

Folks have been sharing more of their marijuana garden pictures over on our Facebook page. Here are a few, but head over to Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MaineSeedlings) and check out the rest of the images and maybe share some pictures of your garden? Inside our outside, doesn’t matter, we would love to see them.

This first image is Kush, being harvested in week 5.

A beautiful example of Kush!

What a pretty girl!

Below your (marijuana) grow…

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

The bottom of your marijuana plants
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)!

If you trim the bottom you will fatten the top!

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!
