Oh my god Dj !!! I am really not sure if the shrinkage was really because of FSO. Like i said the oil i used is very very old and i used it for oil painting. I dont know if they add something in linseed oil which is used for oil painting.
I had been having some good results with only flax seeds. So since flax was agreeing with me so much, i thought FSO topical application will work like magic. But was not able to get FSO. Then when i got to know FSO and linseed are the same, i was super excited cos i already had some old linseed oil. And though it was old and i dint know about its purity, i just couldnt wait and went ahead. And i have applied it only twice. Cant really say anything in that short time ya?
Like i said i may give FSO another shot but since i am already growing, dint want to mess with it. The shrinkage could also be because of the time of cycle, luteal, follicular and all. i have not gone into detail about all that stuff. My period is due in another 10 days. idk if there is some shrinkage at this time.
This is my second month into NBE and i really dont know much. As you know my program is very simple and consists of only flax seeds. So i have not gathered any info on any herb or oil.
As far as how much flax i am using is concerned, I take 3 tsp powdered flax per day. I mix it in anything that is in liquid form and gulp it down. I take 1.5 tsp in the afternoon and 1.5tsp at night. But when i started i was taking only 1 tsp per day. and gradually increased it.
Also i try to drink lots and lots of water cos i read that flax is very high in fibre and hence you should drink lots of water.
Hope you get excellent growth
