Lurking No More....I want to share my first outdoor season with everybody.

This trunk supports this bush.



The AK



The plant I'm having trouble sexing.

The weird sex organs...seems like the branch is creating new leaves.





Nuts?


New leaves?

Mainlined for two: one side I just let be and the other side was mainlined for eight.



All the tops look similar to this one.



It's starting to get sticky, and smells like sour diesel.

Yo! I'm back with a quick update. I have a few teas brewing. Guano tea on the left; and Molding Peach special blend on the right.



Sugar extract from the moldy peach tea on the left; and a micro herd in a complex media broth on the right.


The first batch of the MPB Tea exploded on all over me from CO2 build up, indicating to me that fermentation as begun, and the sugars had to removed. I am going to mix up the sugar, and both micro herd broths into water that runs off from the cow pasture out back.

I noticed one top is deforming...and doesn't seem to be a normal occurrence.



Could it possibly be flowering?



Doesn't seem to be dying...IDK what it's doing.

A word of caution regarding 'teas'. It is best to use composted materials to make them. Using fresh fruit, or vegetables can cause fermentation. Undiluted, some of these brews can get very high levels of alcohol. This can cause damage to green leaves or feeder roots.

damn bro that looks like a hermie. The sex organs look like nanners

I agree with VG. You don't wanna pour pruno on the plant roots. Can't be good for them.

Thanks for the warning. My brews don't smell like alcohol. I've fermented grapes last summer in an ice chest; so I'm aware of the how fermenting fruit smells. They weren't fresh peaches. Most of them were moldy and were in the beginning stages of decomposition. I agree feeding the ladies alcohol would be counter-productive. Oh, and by the way, VG your 2010 thread was very informative. I read pretty much most of it from beginning to end. I will be adopting your breeding technique.

I agree pruno would probably damage the plant, but the concoction I made doesn't smell like it has a high concentration of alcohol. I made the "tea" out of cannabis leaves, flower petals, rotting banana peels, rotting peaches, garlic, onion, and cinnamon. I shook the bottle, and the CO2 pressure built up, causing the liquid to explode out like a bottle of pop. That was a indication to remove the liquids because fermentation had begun (microbes break down the sugars to create energy, CO2, and alcohol.) That "tea" is going to be food for the bat guano micro herd that I have brewing.

The one on the right is the final product....Everything all mixed together.

Smells like a peach pie fresh from the oven!

becareful not to spill on the leaves. cinnamon burns the fuck out of leaves

This plant is doing much, just reaching for the sky.



This plant has begun flowering! The end of July is pretty early right?



Check em' out! I'm super stoked!



Some other tops.



More.



That is flowering, correct? I'm still waiting for the pistils to confirm, but it seems like it's budding.

That looks like deformed growth. Maybe one of those teas fucked up the root zone.

Can't tell for sure, but it looks more like new growth as opposed to pistuls bro.

Positive waves.

maybe but it hasn't affected my other plants. Plus I didn't apply the tea until the day after I noticed the "Deformation." So I Really don't know what's going on...

Could be under fed. Or a cal mag issue. Maybe the ph of the soil is too low.

I was thinking ph maybe the issue.

Im no botanist, but I think its something to do with nutrient or moisture uptake. A root issue or ph like you guys said. I transplanted a tomato into some packed clay so the roots really couldn't go anywhere and no nutes. The leaves kindof curled like yours. very wrinkly and deformed. hopefully you figure it out.
