Meet our (medical marijuana) moms…

These are some of our medical marijuana mother plants, all of them grown from seeds with known genetics.

Wait, what's a "mother" you ask?  

Mother plant: a plant grown for the specific purpose of taking cuttings (children) to grow a larger quantity of the same plant.

Once our moms have served their purpose we start a new mom from seed (for quality and genetic control) and flower out the old one.

If you have (or will ever) flower out a mother plant you will find it to be one of the bushiest (highest yielding) plants you've ever grown.

If you want to read a great article on selecting a mother plant (instead of starting from seed) head over to High Times and read their article "Insider's Grow: Selecting a Mother Plant".

Keep in mind that you can start a mother from a mother, but we don't recommend you do that too many times (generations) as a mother a few generations down the line can be different from the (original) mother plant.

The purple light you see in the second image is not disco related (but our moms do like music), it's an LED grow light. We have been using it for several months now and the major advantage has been a reduction in electricity consumption. The yet to be answered question is will the electricity savings offset the higher cost of LED lights.

We'll let you know.

Our Acapulco Gold clones are finally here!...

Though we don't have a great number, so they will be on a first come first serve basis.

We will also limit the quantity that can be bought per patient, so we can help as many patients as possible (to spread the wealth as they say).

So call (207-613-5650) or email us (info@MaineSeedlings.com) if you're interested in getting your hands on Acapulco Gold clones.

This really is a BIG Freaking deal!...

Yesterday we got some seriously important news when it comes to cannabis research, in a post by US News and World Report a "Major Pot Research Barrier Goes Up in Smoke" because the Obama Whitehouse has decided to drop the requirement that required researchers to "submit proposed pot studies to the U.S. Public Health Service for review, ending a hurdle that delayed – sometimes for years – private and state-funded research into marijuana’s medical value."

This is a very important step down the path of knowledge, so that we can finally have a real scientific approach, discovery and openness as to what cannabis really can do for us.

 "Major Pot Research Barrier Goes Up in Smoke" was written by Steven Nelson and is well worth the read.

A picture of our (medical marijuana) future...

We are pleased to announce that we are adding several new strains of medical marijuana for our patients, strains like White Widow, Red Diesel, White Widow & Big Bud and (drum roll please) Acapulco Gold!

White Widow (used for pain, anxiety, depression and appetite enhancement) and Acapulco Gold (used for anxiety, nausea, depression and a VERY high THC level) are considered "retro" strains from yesteryear, expect to see more retro strains like this from us in the future.

 Now for the bad news, though we would love to have them available today, we expect to have these clones available to you around the middle of June and the medicine about a month after that.
