1. Another guarantee Spectrum King provides for all their lights (and we failed to mention) is that for any reason, within the first 30 days if you are not completely satisfied with the lights you can return them for a full refund, no restocking charge, no handling fee, none of that crap. You can check out their FAQ page here.

*These clones are available to Maine Medical Marijuana patients only.
I don’t often recommend to people that they should plunk down their hard earned money on a product I have not yet tried and tested myself, actually I never have, until now that is.
LED lights have been on our radar for awhile and we’ve been watching the LED lights from Spectrum King in particular (because of the quality of their American made lights and the people behind them) and I can honestly say I have never done so much research before making a purchase before and I am so sure about what we’ve learned that we knew when the time came to make the move to LED’s Spectrum King were going to be the lights we bought.
Well, that time came as we are in the process of building out a new mother and clone room so we were facing the decision about (what) lighting which then morphed into the discussion of when we would should begin our transition to LED’s, but when we saw that Spectrum King had put their “Mother’s Lil Helper” on sale for just $199 it was a no brainer, our transitioning to LED’s was starting now, LED LIGHTS HERE WE COME!
We have been using T5 lights for years, here are most of the costs associated with using them over 3 years (as that is the warranty period for the “Mother’s Lil Helper” and a 4 foot 4 light T5 unit have roughly the same coverage area) :
1. The initial cost of the lighting fixture (4 foot – 4 bulb T5 fixture roughly $150)
2. The cost of the first set of bulbs (4 bulbs – Hortilux veg $30 each – $120)
3. The cost of replacing those bulbs every 9-12 months (4 bulbs – Hortilux veg $30 each – $120 over 3 years $240)
4. The cost of cooling (trust me, you put enough T5’s in a room and you will need to evacuate the heat!)
5. The cost of running these lights (55 watts per bulb – 210 watts total for a 4 bulb unit – so the monthly cost is more than 4 times the cost of the Mother’s Lil Helper)
6. The cost of the cooling device (air conditioner, mini-split, etc.) for removing heat from the grow room (unknown – but not cheap!)
So, not including the electrical cost of running AND cooling T5 lights you would spend $510 out of pocket over three years. A side note, the bulbs and fixtures only have a 12 month warranty at best (“Mother’s Lil Helper” comes with a 3 year warranty).
3. The cost of replacing those bulbs every 9-12 months ($0)
4. The cost of cooling ($0)
5. The cost of running these lights (each “Mother’s Lil Helper” has the power consumption of a single 100 watt light bulb!)
6. The cost of the cooling device (air conditioner, mini-split, etc.) for cooling the grow room (NOT NEEDED!)
So to keep things equal, not including the electrical cost of running and cooling the lights you would spend $199 out of pocket over three years for a “Mother’s Lil Helper“, $199 vs. $510.
So it boils down to this, if you buy a “Mother’s Lil Helper” you will get a better quality light fixture that will provide your plants with a better quality light for about one third the startup cost of a T5 unit and monthly operating expenses that will cost you less than 25% to run vs. a T5 light and it’s not just about saving money, your plants will be happier, grow better/stronger and yield more.
So you save a bunch of money at the time of purchase and continue saving money every single month you run them while getting better grow results, see why it was a no brainer to make the move?
But wait, there’s more! There’s another issue that I have yet to mentioned, safety… if you look closely at the picture above you will see a Spectrum King light that is turned on while it is being hosed down by water! If you have ever been around when a hot bulb exploded because it was hit by mist or water droplets while a grower was spraying plants, it is truly a very scary and dangerous situation.
I could go on about why we can’t wait for these lights to arrive and why I think anyone looking to purchase lights needs to run, not walk, over to Spectrum King to get your lights and I strongly suggest you do it sooner rather than later as I don’t know how long this crazy sale will last.

Here are some of the rules from the Maine Medical Marijuana Program regarding seedlings (clones).
MMMP Rule 1.17.5:
“Seedling – Seedling means a marijuana plant that has no flowers (buds), is less than 12 inches in height and diameter. A plant that does not meet all three criteria will not be considered a seedling.”
MMMP Rule 4.10.1.2: “Incidental amount of marijuana. A qualifying patient may possess an incidental amount of marijuana.”
MMMP Rule 4.10.1.2.1: “Incidental amount of marijuana per patient means… an unlimited amount of marijuana seedlings…”
One question we are asked often (really often) is “where can I buy seeds?“.
I answer that question by telling folks where we buy seeds and why, let me share that with you.
If you are looking for a reliable and affordable source for medical marijuana seeds then you need to check out “I Love Growing Marijuana“.
Here are the reasons we use them:
1. FREE SHIPPING – not many places offer free shipping and if they do it’s only after you spend a bazillion dollars, not sure about you but saving $15-$20 is not trivial, I can always find another use for that money.
2. FAST SHIPPING – Not only is there shipping free, it’s fast too! On three separate occasions we placed one order with I Love Growing Marijuana and also ordered seeds from another seed bank at the same time, twice I Love Growing Marijuana got their seeds here first (6 days and 3 days faster) and once they arrived on the same day as their competitor.
3. CUSTOMER SERVICE – Their customer service CANNOT be beat, let me give you an example (cuz it happened to us). Placing international credit cards orders can be “iffy” even when you notify your credit card company before hand about the order. I Love Growing Marijuana was having a sale and we tried multiple times to place our order – called the credit card company to pre-qualify the sale, placed our online order only to have the credit card company decline the charge. Well by the time we got things straightened out with the card company the sale was over! We contacted I Love Growing Marijuana customer service and explained our dilemma to see if they could do anything to help us and before then end of that day a special code was emailed to us so we could place our order and receive the sale prices! We didn’t get this kind of service because we have some big account with them or because this was a large order, NOPE to both. We didn’t use our company name and the order was right around the $100 range, so what we experienced is the kind of phenomenal customer support that everyone gets.
And if all of these reasons are not enough to convince you, how about 25% off your order! Yes, they were kind enough to create a 25% off discount code just for our readers, simply follow this link (https://amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/redeem-discount) and use the code “CLONES2016” to get 25% off your entire order!
Happy shopping and we would love to hear about your experience with I Love Growing Marijuana because we’re sure it will be as outstanding as ours.
We also have about a dozen auto flowers available as well.
And we are planning one last “big push” to finish up this planting season and will have (about) 50 more clones ready for next Monday (6/13) and will send the list to you as well if you’d like.
Our clones average between 8 and 12 inches tall.
Prices: $35 per individual plant and $175 for a “six pack”.
If you want to order you can email us at (Info@MaineSeedlings.com), text or call us (207-613-5650).
*These clones are available to Maine Medical Marijuana patients only.
If you want to see some cool and (slightly) amusing images that we don’t post here you might want to head over to our Instagram account(www.instagram.com/marijuanaclones) and have a look, you’ll see images like these (click on any image to view larger):
There are many things I like to worry about (most probably unnecessarily), patients getting their clones home safe, sound and unbroken is one of them.
Patients invest their hard earned money with the dream of harvesting the plants and having their much needed medicine… I don’t want a broken plant to dash that dream before they even make it home.
So we’ve tried a few ways of packing these babies for safe travel and at the moment we’ve settled on a system that works well and is environmentally friendly as it involves recycling old wine boxes (and no, I don’t drink all that wine).
We put in a plastic liner so the box stays dry and strong (there’s nothing worse than a saggy bottomed box), put the bottle separators back into the box and then start dropping in our medical marijuana clones for the trip to their new home.
Once their are all packed, labeled and ready to travel it looks kinda like this.
Speaking of clones, we have a new batch of clones (just about) every Monday morning and send the list of clones out to the good (and patient) folks on our “waiting to be notified” list.
If you are a Maine Medical Marijuana patient and are in the market for clones (or soon will be) you can email us and you’ll be put on the “notify me when you have clones” list (info@MaineSeedlings.com) so as medical marijuana clones become available patients will get en email to “notify” them that we have medical marijuana clones available. People go on the list in the same order that the requests come in.
This doesn’t change delivery for our “regular” feminized clones, if you are looking for those marijuana clones it’s best to email us and get on “the list” , simply send an email to “notify me when you have clones” (info@MaineSeedlings.com) and we will touch base as soon as clones are available. We are expecting to have a good number available the first full week of June (starting around June 6th).
Now back to the autoflowers, they are not every growers cup of tea but then again there are other growers who love them, so obviously this post is for autoflower marijuana growers.
We are in the process of developing our own strain of a feminized autoflower and this “incarnation” is not our completed strain but a good step in the process.
The particulars of this yet to be named strain are not nailed down and so they will have random growing traits, meaning some plants will be of medium height while others will be shorter. Most will be of a medium height and all produce an average amount of flower/medicine. Regardless of their height they will all have similar strength/potency, which us a heavier sedative effect.
Our autoflowers are made up of Russian Rocket Fuel, Sweet Amnesia Auto from G-13 labs, Big Guns, and (non auto) G-13.
