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!
Along with our new cloning room are some new moms (started from seed) that are about to come online, one in particular that we are excited about, Gorilla Glue #4!
We want to let everyone know that we are about 7 days away from having the next batch of our medical marijuana clones ready to go out the door.
Not to worry, if you are one of the folks who have contacted us recently inquiring about clones you are on the list to be notified fist as soon as they are ready to go.
If you would like to be added to the waiting list just drop us an email (Info@MaineSeedlings.com) and you too will be notified (by email or text, your choice) the moment they are ready to be picked up.
Here are some of the strains that will be available:
Red Diesel
THC Bomb
710 Cheese
Cotton Candy
White Widow x Big Bud
And more, later this fall we will have some new strains like Chocolope, Atomic Bomb and Gorilla Glue #4!
Well that did not take long, the box is empty, our cupboards are bare… the last of the Root Pouch goodies are heading out in today’s mail, we have no doubt that you will love them as much as we do.
Though we have given a bunch of it away we still do have a little left so be in touch by dropping us an email, (Info@MaineSeedlings.com) and we will do our best to hook you up.
“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.
“The Bomb is covered with 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).
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.
A fellow medical marijuana gardener here in the beautiful state of Maine was kind enough to share with us some images of what’s “growing on” in his garden this year. Thank you!
The plants you are looking at are Sugar Punch, Bubba Kush, Blue Dream, Purple Train Wreck, along with a several other strains.
You can some serious crystals going on in those close-ups.
If you would like to share some images of your garden with us (and thus the world) please feel free to email them to us (info@MaineSeedlings.com), we will only share the information that you approve.
Reefer Madness is a movie that was made in the middle 1930’s to propagandize the evils that would befall people who dared to smoke “the evil weed“, marijuana.
Even crazier than the plot of Reefer Madness, is the fact that it was actually used as “evidence” to help influence marijuana laws!
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.
