What the bloody hell`s going on here?

[PaganRich]

I`m pacing this Tutankhamon until I have space to grow it, got some others I want to run first. Anyway was having a look at my Buddha and noticed the weird stemming....now as others have seen before it isn`t unusual for me to have branches that have merged or flatten and I`m wondering if this is the same due to me forgetting about it, the orchid clip and the chop stick (Sounds like a Nik Cave song). Any ideas anyone....me, I reckon it`s restrictive growth causing this...curious to see where this could go....stay mellow

[Potted]

I don't know what it is but I like it cool as shit ask another brother.lol

[LuckyAcres]

That's awesome been wondering about this on cannabis. As a landscaper I've seen this many times on all sorts of plants. All it does is merge branches together and flatten them. Last I looked into it it's a virus but I've never seen any damage or consequence on a plant in my yards. It just looks real funky. In case I forget remind me tonight pacific time to take a pic of a conifer in my yard that has been specially bred to keep this feature all over the plant.

[PaganRich]

We do seem to forget that this is just a type of plant and surely there are other examples out there in nature generally

[LuckyAcres]

I actually had been keeping my eyes open to see if it happened on mj so you just fulfilled a gardeners fantasy of some sort 😅

[PaganRich]

I`m not sure if that`s a good thing or just a tad pervy ....I have other grow pics of adult versions of this on GWE.....does happen periodically to me

[alltatup]

Bloody ell, that is way cool!!!!!! Your orchid is beautiful, too.

[alltatup]

I know, Pagan: I was just fuckin wit ya...

[PaganRich]

I know....and in a pleasant way....nothing anal this side. Others can be touchy as hell though

[alltatup]

With all due respeck to others, fuck 'em... It's Friday afternoon and I'm gettin high...

[LuckyAcres]

Hey cream puff! Check this out! Hunting down the details on the plant, but it was given to me few years back.

[alltatup]

Lucky, you're gonna get me in trouble! Can you please call him, Oh Horrific One?

[PaganRich]

You two do realise that I`m trying to convey a fearsome warrior image here whose name should be Pagan Bloodaxe or Wades Through Rivers Of Gore.....can you imagine it, `Right lads, they outnumber us 50 to 1 but don`t worry, we`ve got Cream Puff here. He`ll carve his way through them`..`CREAM PUFF! CREAM PUFF!`..

[alltatup]

I know!!!! I was looking close up at your book titles: Advanced Dim-Mak: The Finer Points of Death Point Striking; Arm Locks for All Styles; Taiji Sword and Other Writings; Classics from the Late Chi'ing Dynasty; Mr. Shee (Mr. Sheesh? Mr. Sheeeiiiiiittt? Mr. Sheen???) Multi Surface Polish...

Now it's been a very long time since I read The Art of War by Sun Tzu, but I believe I recall him writing:

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like whipped cream and sugar.”

[LuckyAcres]

I have a name for this fellow below.
cryptomeria japonica cristata

[PaganRich]

Never seen one before....is lovely though but very strange looking

[LuckyAcres]

😂😂😂sorry dude, it was too big and beautiful to pass!!! But yes every time I see your real name I shake a little...

[LuckyAcres]

It is a really cool plant. My client has one that's about 10' tall now, I like it so much she found another one and gave it to me. Real slow grower here though.

[PaganRich]

Well....I`m not going to remotely allow this lass into a tent but will keep growing to see where it will leads......have placed an orchid clip further up to see what will happen. Distortion of leaves and top growth now occurring.......quite exciting really

[oldjarhead100]

I dont know if I can help Pagan I just spent 3 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with your orchid lol. so i've seen this before .my friend will bend and sometimes break a stem to move it under his screen and when he does it grows a knuckle like that.I dont think anything is wrong with her

[PaganRich]

Thanks Jarhead....and a really good point I hadn`t thought about mate...

[LuckyAcres]

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like whipped cream and sugar.”

Isnt this the recipe for cream puffs?

[PaganRich]

And if I worked in an office....Dances With Tippex

[alltatup]

Pagan Heathen Bloodaxe Wielder, there must be no margin of error. The office would tiurn you into Golum.

[PaganRich]

You`re spot on there

[LuckyAcres]

If that quote doesn`t sound sexual then I`m a Christian

Lol! Fear shakes me not ....nevermind!😱😂😜

[alltatup]

Lucky, you have always reminded me more of merengue than cream puff...

[StoneyTony]

LOL Just read through this thread and almost choke on my breakfast laughing. What was the topic again? Something about cream puffs....?

[LuckyAcres]

And meringues too!

[PaganRich]

Nice tent set-up you got there ST....very impressive mate

[PaganRich]

She`s doing very nicely in the bathroom however a leaf mutation has occurred which seems to show 2 leaves fused together plus what she`s looking like at the moment....she reminds me of that Queen song `Fat Bottomed Girl`

[alltatup]

'sblood!! She is interesting. She reminds me of Sir Mix a Lot's Baby got Back... I wonder if her cured herb will transform people into mutants, like in "The Fly"...

[LuckyAcres]

Man that looks badass! Please keep on posting!

[PaganRich]

You will have to excuse these pics I`m afraid...just got a new phone after dropping the last one into the washing up which wasn`t as sad as it sounds....interesting pic of 3 leaf stems sticking out close together...had to chop leaves so you could see....it`s like 2-3 bigger stems have stayed together as the main stem....then pic of further up...still mutant ninja growth going on, then nice posed one as she keeps me company in my chill out room and finally as a happy pic....a water bucket thingy I picked up really cheaply at a small garden centre near mine....put a lily in....please note: Centre...re not er....the correct and only way to spell this bloody word like light not lite......it`s a little thing but these are important and don`t even get me started on how to say caribbean or aluminium....I honestly didn`t know for years that the American way of saying Aluminium was meant to be Aluminium...I mean, how? Ah well...hang loose my American friends ........Pirates of the Caribbbbbbb.........eeean or Pirates of the kara...be....an......Not Vikings though, you wouldn`t have a chance for linguistical debate with those lads cos your skull would`ve be cleaved in two by a battle axe As an aside, the highter, twangy American accent is meant to not have change much from the Founding Fathers days whereas in England it`s moved massively on thank the gods.....mind you...nowadays if you still go up North say Nottingham way and man alive it`s hard to figure out what they`re on about...for such a small island there`s a lot of muttering, spluttering, spit drooling dialects....you go in to buy a pint of milk and can seriously come out with a loaf of bread if you`re not careful

[alltatup]

Nah, Pagan, you can call me wench. And something else that's been on my mind: I owe you an apology for bitching at you for putting up the picture of the gardener with her butt in the air. I hate censorship, and I tried to censor you. I'm sorry about that. As punishment, I will clean all the barnacles off of a langskip using only my hands.

[PaganRich]

Well....I had forgotten that so it`s no big deal and I would appreciate it if you could restrain yourself from handling my barnacles....I`m really not sure I can handle that kind of stress......by the way, whether deserved or not...most people are unable to say sorry I find, they`d rather leave ill will, lose friendships, etc than admit to something and just say sorry....for me there was nothing needing an apology but fair shout to you for having the balls to want to say it anyway......didn`t even remember who had said it so you didn`t cause any offence....or on the other hand I have just released my war bands to hunt you down like a mutant ninja dog and flay the life out of your bones...who can say...mawahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhhhahaahhahhha hahahah

[alltatup]

Pagan, I don't have the balls, but I have the ovaries, and your war bands are like pesky mosquitoes to me: I will swat them down and wallow in their blood!!! If anyone's doing any flaying, it will be me. And then feeding the tender strips of meat to my fierce chihuahuas, hounds of Hel.

[PaganRich]

Well, I have kept her growing as a house plant and this is what she`s looking like nowadays

[LuckyAcres]

Couldn't just chuck her outside in a corner and bring her back in to finish the flower when weather turns to crap in fall?

[PaganRich]

Was a lurking thought Lucky A I must admit mate

[LuckyAcres]

You got to give it a chance then!!!! Even if she doesn't get max sunlight she'll still give you something

[PaganRich]

Reckon I might have done something a tad daft just now......decided I need to do something with her so decided to put her in the main tent though I don`t trust her and she wouldn`t be going in if I hadn`t had a nice yield of good sized buds from one of her Tut sisters...but I`m still gonna watch her....anyway, I`ve got some low Indica`s going through and Tut`s can go tall so....and I don`t know if I should...I pinch the tops off to see if I can `contain` the stretch a tad to bring her into line with my smaller ones.....does anyone know if this was a sound idea or just a rookie idea?

[alltatup]

Do yo thang, Pagan!

[PaganRich]

Cheers for the support Alltatup...

[alltatup]

You got it bro.
