Everything is still hanging in there, but doesn't look any better or worse, which I'm considering a positive! Much appreciated Keith. That was a super cool thing to do for me!
No problem! I'm glad I could help... and it is a hammer, I had a brain fart for a moment.
 
I’m sitting in a friend of mine’s business getting my brakes checked and after I’m heading to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients I need. It’s going to be a while.
All good!
I'll wait a long time for my favorite show!

Sounds to be a positive. You can choose to use the Cipro or wait and see what happens to the hammer. Do you have an updated pic?
 
Well, not much of a picture but it's what I got so far!

Gonna let it rest in the cooler for an hour or so before pulling. Smells amazing.
 
Tim, are you culturing phyto or pods? I'm thinking of starting a culture of both. I'd like to do the green phyto and some red phyto.

I'll get one today, when I get home. It looks almost the same. I was a bit encouraged that it hasn't regressed. I'm inclined to try the cipro immediately . I haven't discovered too many negatives for adding it. I'd hate to let it backslide

All good brother. It looks more like a torch. Or it used to anyways lol

I’ve used it twice, your good to go. I recommend using it when you get it.
 
Pretty flowers from my lunchtime walk the little yellow tulip didn't get the memo that she was supposed to wear red it was the only yellow one...

The new branches look like they are continuing to grow! Hopefully the Cipro will knock out what is harming the hammer and it will bounce back. If not, you still have those babies under there to grow out!

Beautiful scenery for your lunchtime walk Amanda!

I agree. I just didn't want to say "you must use it". However, as you stated, I'd go ahead and dose the tank unless he wants to pull the hammer and do a dip. The dip will be more labor intensive by far since the hammer will basically need to be in a QT for the course of the treatment.
