The Nakid Jungle~Land of Nod

I had a bottle of Gan Mao Ling (it is a traditional Chinese herbal cold remedy) and I took one tablet, broken in half and put it into a spray bottle with about 8 oz. of distilled water. It doesn't dissolve very well but that is okay. Let is stand for an hour and then shake the bottle up and it will turn a pale yellow or brown shade. Spray this on the underside of the affected leaves every other day until you have sprayed them 3 times and the problem will be over. When the solution in your spray bottle runs low, just add more water. One pill will last for about three weeks. I use Plum Flower Brand. It is made with a bunch of mysterious Chinese herbs and flowers like Ban Lan Gen root.

With the use of Gan Mao Ling, I am able to stop the leaf miners before the flowering cycle begins. Be sure to use the finest mist that you can.

Look at it this way. If it doesn't work on your plants this stuff can help alleviate cold symptoms next time you catch something. A bottle of this stuff (I think all brands are pretty much the same concoction) costs about ten bucks and you can get it at a Chinese market or pharmacy or order it online.

I hope that this works as well for you as it has for me.

I may try this if the organic stuff I got does not work, I will try anything natural! They are just horrible. But I live in a rainforest so it is hard to find anything to work. put it on and it washes off.

Hey 70's good to see you. Peppers are doing great. Almost all the plants have very large nice fruit on it. Each plant has between 10 and 35 flowers and or peppers. A couple look like they are trying to turn to yellows of some variety.
Tomatoes doing very well also. Everything was beginning to starve did a lot of pruning and fed heavy. So much fruit was making it nit def. They will be alright though. I will feed again mid week since we are having so much rain.
How is your stuff going?

It is so cold here that my body temp is running low. You know you don't think about it much but when you live in a place that is not normally cold you have heat here there is none. Where I lived on the islands up until a few months ago was so drastically different that I am having trouble adjusting.
Ole man freaked out when he got home from work early this morning. It was dark still and he came in and layed down next to me and I was sleeping real sound and didn't wake when he kissed me. I woke up to him shaking me panicked.
I'm all what, what and he says why are you so cold you scared me (as he is holding me up by my arms).
Cause you yanked off my covers; can you lay me back down? Instead he just clung to me. It really scared him badly. He thought I was dead I was so cold. Which got me wrapped up in a blanket with a heating pad while being cuddled and fed veggie soup. He took my temp and it was 92. He f'n flipped out. I have spent most of the day really tired and on a heating pad with him laying next to me or having me get up to see if I can maintain my body temp without the heating pad. So far no dice. As soon as I leave my nest my temp drops. I am still cold overall when the heating pad gets so hot it is burning me and I have to turn it off anywhere it is not still feels cold. Has to be that I stayed so warm out in the sun there. I guess the huge temp change and the weight loss from the trip is likely what has caused it?
He is not wanting to go to work said he is worried about me. I am tired and cold but I feel fine.

You really should see a doctor if it persists. It can be dangerous to your overall health. Not saying you have what's in the link but there is a list of symptoms associated with low temp.

Hello,
Gan Mao Ling works fine in a moist environment. I live on the edge of a rainforest where it rains almost every night. Just wait for a dry spell, so the affected plant's leaves are dry and then spray a mist on the underside of as many leaves as possible. If the problem is really bad, do it every day for 4 or 5 days and that should do it. This has been especially effective on tomatoes and squash as well as the usual victims.

I don't want to appear out-of-line...but it would probably be a good idea to get some medical attention right away. Low body temperature is not a typical condition like a fever. Please take care of yourself because sometimes a person can be pretty sick and not realize it.

I am going to have to try this. I sprayed them with an organic soap stuff yesterday and today as they are so bad.
Where do you live that is rainforest? We don't get any totally dry days here. There is always some rain at night or in the morning or all day?
I went out this morning to check fruit and I had one that had a brown spot and the whole thing was rotten mush. Booo!
It is going back up. It was 94 this am. Ole man is going to go back to work tomorrow if it stays up. We are supposed to get some nice weather. So I should keep defrosting? We are keeping a close watch on it. I started to feel cold this morning which I read is a good sign. The fact I stopped feeling cold I guess was not a good sign. Thanks for the info. No worries about overstepping I am not one to feel that way.
Ole man wanted me in the ER since it started. I just don't think it is a big deal. I stay cold a lot!

We just want to see you healthy and around for a while. That's why I love this board. People who've never met genuinely care about one another's health and well being here. Its not just all about marijuana and fuck the person growing it.

Rooster I feel Ok I really do. I am not big on modern medicine and I am not going anywhere! Unless I get banned for picking on Slinger about pictures.

Hey Rooster....How come you don't got to the lounge anymore? I miss seeing you there!

It is probably why I am sick cause you left the lounge Did something happen there that made you leave?
If you come back I will be sooo happy I get a fever!

I like it that you come in here though. It is kind of like a private lounge. Especially since I have not done any updates.

[rooster1369]

I just didn't feel the vibe in there. That and it moves so damn fast. I'm not a modern medicine person either. I wait till I'm falling apart before I go in. Meds and vaccines aren't for me. Because of the military I don't regulate body temp right. I go the other way. I've heat stroked five times and heat stressed half a dozen or more. I get nauseous if I'm moving around at 95°. It just makes me jumpy is all.

[skycladreigns]

I agree it has changed in there. It is always changing. I find that I am not there as often as I used to be. But the garden has me pretty busy these days. I find the time zone thing makes it hard to be in there with the people I wanna run into in there.
There are a couple of new people that I think may be great additions!
I don't see much extreme heat here. On the days there is no rain it gets pretty hot but the trade winds keep it tolerable. Plus the nights are still so cold that when the day gets too hot you can walk indoors and it feels like an air conditioner is on somewhere.
That is scary heat stroke is dangerous! Stay inside when it is hot!

[skycladreigns]

I hope no one read this before my delete. I don't know what is wrong with me. I am in a bad mood I guess. Pele, hold back the heat!
Fuck man I was madder than I can recall ever being over nothing.
I am in pain and I think it is making me unreasonable.
Having muscle spasms all the way up front into my ribs. This shit is fuckin killin me.
So if anyone read that. Sorry this aint me and pregnant in pain whatever I apologize and am seriously fucking ashamed of myself.

Healing energy heading at you mama!

There's nothing to be ashamed of!!

Nice post his morning...
I feel somewhat better. I am limping and shit. It sucks, but I know I am doing the right.
It is just hard cause I have been a chronic pain patient almost half my life and I have spent the last 10 years since using MJ for pain management pain free as long as I smoke and stay on top of the pain. Now it has been almost 2 weeks with nothing. I forgot how much a fucked up neck/back hurts.
I have been having muscle spasms and nerve pain and last night it just got to be too much. This morning I am limping in my right leg from my muscles being so tight.
I used to be this way all the time on edge and mean and in pain. I'm not really sure what I should do. I called the dr this morning and he said go to the er or he could call me out something. I asked him what and it is a narcotic. That is just the legal version of two terrible evils. I won't do that.
I may walk down on monday to the natural healing clinic and see if they can do anything for me. At least have em work on me an hour so and hopefully I could sleep really good while they did?
In all reality I am the luckiest girl in the world I just wish I could do it without pain, but that makes no sense ot even think it could or should be so.
I guess if anyone needs a ton of conditioning to be a mother to 2 babies it is me! I am no doubt asking for a hard 8months of grooming.
Bring it on you little demons!
