The beans arrived this morning and are in compost.

5 nice phat healthy beans,very uniform.

22-24c Germing temp.

Growroom just drying out after hot bleach wash.

I'm ready to rock so c'mon Motavation,let's see what you got girl!

Good luck Doc... and the rest of you lucky guys too!

I'll be stopping by from time to time, so keep some bickies by my chair!

scoobs

Lets hope for a Borg free party this time

What's the lineage of Motavation again? Warlock male by ???? can't quite remember and can't be arsed to search

Hi Blab,

Hi had a look around in the Magus help desk n' stuff but couldnt find any info.

I just know that it's very strongly indica,diamond phrosty,super sweet with a great buzz that'll create lots of great idea's you'll do nothing about!

Borg free? Well I've done the growroom sterilisation and have no clones or mothers of old going in there,yeah,lets hope so.

Got 250 ml of SBPI from our man in Windsor when he last called so I'm armed,sorted.

best of luck mate will be keeping tabs on this one

looking forward to this diary
im sure these will look the business at harvest doc

hi there doc mate
just wanted to say good luck with the motivation
will be poppin my warlock beans on monday night when they get here
all the best phil

Hi Doc, looking forward to seeing how they turn out, just read the strain descriptions for both Motivation and Warlock and have to say they both sound great , also with 5 guaranteed females this can only be a great thing

Got a feeling it was a Warlock Dad X Sensi Star Mum - I think I remember Hydronaut doing a growout of it but it was called something different like "London Memories" at the time....

Hi Blab,Scoobs,Bazza,Scarface,Wasabi and Philcanaries.

thanks for popping in to say hi on this grow.

Just nicked a pic of the Motavation off the shop wall.

So that's what this narco bomb looks like?

That's looks so naughty I'll have to resist washing it up.

Give John Walters summink to really worry about.

Hi Dr.

Blab. is correct with the linage.

Gerrit

Thanks for the lineage info chaps.

That's my solitary Motavation girl.

She cute.

Hey doc,just popped in to wish you luck mate... I had a real problem with borg last grow and managed to eradicate them completely,i used disifectant and treated plants regularly with defenders eradicoat..Also had a mantra at first,i will not get spidermite i will not get spidermite i will not get spidermite...
Thats a lovely little lady there mate
All the best... Welly smeed.

Stop chucking yer bent spears at me,ya woaded up screamer!

Living proof Hadrian was right!

Wearing blue make up and skirts again?

The warrior tingy,good cover eh?

Neah,shoulda turned your place into another county called Scottlesex.

And no,that's not Motavation but Clusterfuck which I'm growing in my other diary,bit of cross pollination.

Thanks for the Soprano's like influence you exerted to get me 'da beans.'


Hey Welly,thanks for popping in.Borg wise I've sterilised and will SBPI as we go.

Hi there WoadWarrior,

sorry mate,could'nt resist.

Cheers for the heads up on Weed World and Motavation,I'll try check that out.

There's my lone girl.
I was meant to go out for compost yesterday,got to pot up.

goodluck doc rock

lovely fresh looking seedling!

Hi Doc, she's looking nice and healthy mate , hows the rest of them getting on?, peace, Baz

Hi Baz,

if you are asking about my other Motavations there are'nt any as this babe was the only one that came up.

But my other strains,I do have a twee problem in that trying to be a good hippy I'd thought I'd reuse my compost and I've a blemish or 2 on some leaves and some are a tad pale.

So I've given a very mild N feed and will pot up with fresh compost on Tuesday.

So no worries!

Hi Doc,
i never knew you could re use compost, thats great news because the place where i was getting my Westlands MP has stopped selling it due to the summer season ending, do you ever get problems with pests transfering from the compost into the new grow?

Hiya Baz,

Yes you can reuse it but I think it must be best to mix it in with fresh compost as I've found using it as it is,its pretty depleted.

My girls arent 3 weeks old but some have paling leaves so it was feedtime for them,just a tiny bit of N to see them through to a repot on Tuesday.

The pic is of a Clusterfuck that is showing up the problem.

But no worries as a repot will sort things nicely methinks and as they've been fed they should darken up.

You make a good point about possible bugs being transferred to this grow though as I've not done this before and didnt really think it through.

They are gonna get full SBPI treatment anyway,so no worries.

Motavation at @15 days.

Going to get a pot up tomorrow.

Mota...

She's a fine specimen doc,fair play to you.Mine are less developed than that..lush.
Good luck mate..Welly.

All the best doc on yer test grow

Hi Dr.

She is looking great, just one huh?
What happened to the others, did you try to crack them open after a while or did you just toss them, and after how many days?
I know they could be hard/slow to crack, but only one out of five is very low.
I'm sorry for the disappointment and hope this single beauty can make up for that.

Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,

yes just the one I'm afraid.I gave them 2 weeks and then removed them to see if they had split and gone rotten.

But they had'nt so I put them in water for 24 hours and into paper tissue but halas,none more showed.

It shows you that seeds do need to be conditioned for sure,as they were all nice fat beans.

But she's coming on great methinks and hopefully she'll make some good pot for a friend for sleep/medi purposes.

And another.

Hi Weed Warrior,

sorry,missed ya post first time around.

I've reused my compo for the first time and I didnt really think it through to be honest.Just used it as is,and am having to feed after only 3 weeks so its very depleted.But no worries as the girls seem fine and will repot in fresh stuff as they have 2 pot ups to go.If I do it again I'll mix it with fresh stuff.

As I say,didnt think it through and I may well get spidermite from eggs that have fallen into the soil.So I'll have to stay on my toes and use SBPI as a given and not wait for their signs.SB Plant Invigorator its called and its a plant tonic which actually kills the borg.So the plants love it and the bugs don't.What makes it a bit different is it can be applied in flower as so many times peeps report the borg in flower and are tearing their hair out,so its great for that.Cheap and in the shop.

I've got someone coming to check my windows in a months time though,and they'll see my growroom when they do it so I'll have to play musical 20 odd plants in flower which is a bit stressful.

I've done it before 2 grows ago where I had to bag them up 6 or 7 times,what a palaver.Actually had a spark IN my growroom fitting a new double socket at the time as well.

As regards flipping the Mota it will be when I think I can see a good 2 oz on her so I'm not going for a big plant as I'll have 20-24 in just over 2 sqm.But she sure is an indica chunky monkey!

She's looking nice and healthy Doc , how does she smell?, also like the sound of the SBPI you'll be using, i've never heard of it before, do you use it as a foliar spray or do you add it into the soil?, if it controls spider mites e.t.c i may get myself a bottle as it'll be handy to have it incase i ever need it, peace mate, Baz

Hi Baz dude,

no smell yet from the Mota really,but there is a smell in the growroom now.

She's in lovely condition though I say so myself and will be a very stocky gal.

The SB Plant Invigorator is a plant tonic(N and Fe)that is spray applied.

The plants love it and the borg don't and the best thing about it is that you can spray when in full flower which is great as half the time when the borg appear it is in flowering,or maybe more correctly,that's the time they are first spotted and will have been there for weeks.

It's cheap and in the shop and its better to have ready to hand,rather than spotting borg and waiting days for a delivery,so may you never get the borg Baz,but its best to be prepared.

Dib dib dib n' all that.

Time for a pot up.

Mota at @20 days veg.

Very strong vigour.

go that fkn grower go

HOOT

Looks pretty advanced and strong. My warlocks are still cotys!

looking good doc......and how much is that borg spray.....

I've got to tell you!

I had a bag of Motavation beans that I bought from th expo in 2006 and only two cracked from the pack after two weeks ...which I mentioned to Gerrit.
He explained they were good fresh beans which I hadn't really doubted.

Subsequently I took them from the jiffy's, dried them for two weeks on the top of my hifi and stuck them in the fridge for two months.

I thought this would simulate some kind of winter as people do with common-or-garden seeds.

After this deep chill I planted them in Jiffy's as before and lo and behold, within 72 hrs every single seed cracked!!!

This ain't bollocks, this is nature!

Bu.

Don't doubt you for a second Bu.

Very fresh beans have much poorer germ rates than properly conditioned ones.

Glad they popped for you.

@Neogeo. The SPBI is a tenner if I'm not mistaken but you can check in the UK420 shop.

cheers doc..........will pop to the shop in a little while.....

preventitve maintenance and all that......

Rocking Bu Nice job.



Check out Neem oil as well. Chokes the beasties and gives the plant some nutes in the foliar spray. Im tryin to get shot of red spidermites. The neem is ok til I can get some Sbpi

Hows the MotavationIndicabombs goin Dr Rockster?
Also, sorry to hear bout yer clusterfucks being male, I wanted to check out the flowers.

Hi Lep,

The Mota's motoring!

I'm very happy with her.Nice and stocky,a real Heifer of a gal.

And there's good news on the ClustrJulie,but aha,that's in my other diary?

32 Days veg and we'll flip her at 35.

And another.

One more.

Couple of bottom leaves a bit pale,so we'll up her gas with a big pie feed.

great compact plant dr! What light do you use? Went through your topic but couldn't find it, maybe overlooked it.

edit: do I count 11 fingers on those leafs?

Hi Whazzup,

I'm using 2 x 400w hps Son-t plus in 1.6sqm which is @ 500w pqsm.

But with shit reflectors I add.

On Tuesday when I flip them at 35 days they'll be put under 1200w in 2.4sqm.

Same light intensity but more room for the girls.

And yes, there are 11 fingers on the large fan leaves of the Mota.

hehe great macro

but eh.. i assume you have more under those light than just this little baby.

Nice and compact. Looks like grown onder fluo or HPI. Son-T plus have been succeeded by the Greenpower, The T-plus have a bit less growlight in them but about 20% blue, is that why you still use the T Plus?

It's a bit late but in response to the resuse of compost: We always take a few cm of soil off the top and leave the rest of the soil untouched to not disturbe the life in it growing organically. The top of the soil is where the plant deposits its waste salts, especially close to the stem.

Looking forward to growing the Motavation myself. So many strains, so little time..

Hi Again Whazzup,

Yes she is growing with @30 other plants at the moment.

They are in my other diary.

'Bangi Haze and other friends'

hi Doc,
thats a strong looking girl you have there bro , just noticed you'll be fliping her at 35, looks like you could have her harvested around Christmas / New Year, perfect timing mate , a nice juicy J of Mota as the bells come in at new year, sweet!

Hi Baz mi fren,

If I flip em on Tuesday, 9 weeks will take them to 18 december so an uncured Christmas day smoke is not out of
the question.

Still cutting it a bit fine so I'll be growing 10/14 which'll shorten flowering times somewhat,we'll see.
