Thinking positive thoughts for you Hombre….

@TheUnknownGrowe, thank you man

 

[Mitsuharu]

How's it going with your infection, getting better?

 

[Hombre del mont]

@Mitsuharu , Apologies brother for the late reply. For some reason I've only just see your post.
The infection is now gone and the hospital are seeing me 2 weekly as opposed to every 4 days. I'm still have the wound dressed daily at the local health centre as it is ulcerated, but all in all it is improving, if a little slowly. At least I o longer feel unwell!

So with my improved health, I've been able to get outside and do some work on the girls. The Zacateca has started flowering but nothing on the others yet. Strangely, the Zamal x Tom Hill Haze looks the most likely to show flowers next .

All the plants have had pea netting put over them to give a scrog type effect and the tops have been repositioned to give to much more even canopy. Straggly growth has been removed as much as possible, but I'm sure I'll keep finding more over the next few weeks. all except from the OHaze.

This morning all the plants have had a little guano tea.

Zacateca Tribute

Not the best pictures, but it's getting hard to see the screen in the intense sunshine. Trust me though, she is flowering

Golden Tiger.

I'm really pleased with her development. I've been very careful not to over feed this year, plus the soil was improved from previous years grows. I'm learning all the time. This is, fingers crossed, going to be a big bush by the end of flowering.

Mulanje x Malawi/Ethiopian.

I'm sorry my photography is not the best. She's looking much more even since she got netted the other day.
it's now the middle of august so hopefully she'll start to show some preflowers soon.

Zamal x Tom Hill Haze

I get more excited every time I look at this Plant. As we all know, Zamal is a legend, as is THH. So the 2 together should be something special, and grown by Mad Mac himself!, thank you brother @Tangwena .

Perhaps a little on the hungry side, but the light guano tea I gave her this morning will sort that out. Very sexy narrow leaves!

 

[Hombre del mont]

And the last for today.

OHaze

#

Very sexy, no?

She had a touch of white fly a few days ago, but I gave her a spray of Potassium soap and it's all cleared up.

She has about 20 leading shoots or tops; my intention is to just let her go upwards from now. There is a bamboo next to her and she'll blend in nicely. Initially when she went into the ground, I think that the soil was a little bit to strong when she first went in and there was some tip burn and some of the lower leaves have gone. All the new growth is nice and clean now.

Edited to add, the last shot is actually the male ohaze.

@Calle Minogue , I'm really sorry to hear that your infection continues. I have just one dose left of my antibiotics. They've really messed up my system. I'm eating homemade yogurt and some lovely saukraut that Mrs DM has made. I've also got a months supply of probiotic capsules in an attempt to try and sort my guts/bowels out. Antibiotics are good when you need them but they cause havoc with your own flora and leave me feeling like a bag of shit. I didn't realise, but they can also effect one's mental state, according to our friend in the Parapharmacia.

Hope your better soon brother.

You should try Kéfir, it's the best probiotic and fixed my gut health a few times after having to use anibiotics. Especially once where I had a tooth infection, had to take antibiotics for 2-3 weeks, then just after that caught the worst intestinal virus I ever had. It was not pretty hahaha . Even when I'm fine I have a bowl almost everyday with fruit. Kéfir is very easy to make, you just have to find someone who can give you a little, and you can make your own with whole milk. As long as you keep some of it from each batch you can make unlimited quantities. Just keep a jar in the pantry, when it's ready you strain it and refill the jar with milk. That's all the work needed. They have kéfir at the supermarket but most of it is worthless, like most yoghourt. If you have a Dia supermarket near you, it's the only place where I have found commercial Kéfir or yoghourt that was actually worth buying (as far as properties, not just flavor). Good Kéfir is a little effervescent, and even stings a little bit on the tongue.

EDIT - yes, I really am this annoying. Here you go:

I guess you can call me the Kéfir nazi if you like. I always liked this guy

NO SOUP FOR YOU

 

[Mitsuharu]

Haha @revegeta666 i remember this scene from Seinfeld.

 

[Hombre del mont]

@revegeta666 , we used to make water Kefir and loved it. We have many hippie/alterative types here and often see both water and milk grains being offered. I'll get Mrs DM to request some fresh grains. I'm not a big fan of milk, despite having homemade yogurt for part of my breakfast for 30yrs or more; I've seen were it comes from and the idea of it makes me feel bad.

Thanks for jogging my feeble memory

Hey Hombre How is it going? Finishing my antibiotics and the inflammation seems like gone. Still sitting 3 time on my cool pack sorry couldnt answer was really busy with lots of exhausting stuff.

Nice to hear that your are on „Sauerkraut“ - love it as well and self made is the best. Drinking the juice every Morning helps to recover quick and tasty

In my Garden nearly every plant is flowering now. Best period of the year is coming closer Bro

Hey there Calle. Not to bad thanks. Good to hear that your inflammation is gone and your finishing your antibiotics. I have one day left on mine and a review at the hospital tomorrow. The wound is improving but still not completely clean. It's been a long haul; 5weeks from my surgery and not healed. At least my car is fixed and legal again, so today we managed to get to the beach for the first time in many weeks.

I absolutely love the Kraut and the juice. Mrs DM makes it but hates it!

Only the Zacateca tribute is flowering. I'm expecting the others to start fairly soon.

I'll try and get some pictures over the weekend ad put them up.

 

[Calle Minogue]
