Its really cool that you did this in a thread instead of PM. It really puts the effort in perspective and readied me for my journey.

Just awesome. Thank you.

What do you think?

 

[Anirban]

Lol....you leaned the second rule that never change the dose everyday. Change once and let it sit there for couple of days and then change a bit more. So how much for today?

 

[ken77]

So what goal was 8.5 right?

 

[Anirban]

Lol....I will keep it 8 thats good enough. So how much you will need to increase it to 7.5-7.6?

 

[ken77]

175 maybe 180

 

[ken77]

I yeah i like 7.5 to 8

 

[Anirban]

We will do 180ml ...lucky number

 

[ken77]

Lol i think that is what we tried the first time start the 1 2 3 components.

 

[ken77]

Lol think that what we used the first time we trued 1 2 3 components

 

[Anirban]

You will need more to reach 8 but 180ml is good enough to reach our target for now.
