I'm going to try the Monster next time. The Bota isn't blowing me away. I much prefer the PMD. I think I actually like the Malay and Super Green more than the Bota also.

I don't think the re-stock of the WG Bota was quite as good as the first small batch he got?...could just be me?...I did enjoy the new Green Monster a lot...this newest batch has a good even energy and a nice mood lift. Also really liked the new Wild Red Borneo. First try with that had really good mood boost, more mid-spec, not overly sedating, and pretty good pain relief. I need to try it again though to be sure. Tried it as a last burn of the day, so results could have been a bit muddled

I got the Bota in my last order and it kinda let me down too. Mine was from the restock, and it was ok, but I didn’t quite think it was as deserving of all the glowing reviews that were made for the first batch. Maybe it was just my chemistry. I still love Smiley’s greens - my Green Monster should be here tomorrow and I’m stoked to try it. I’ve got another batch of Green Monster from October or November but it didn’t really make a big impression on me. Sounds like this current batch is a lot better. I’ve got the Wild Red Borneo coming too and I’m super-excited for that one as well.

Oh Cruel World. Man I pounced on the Bota but alas I missed it. Mr ST is very good at restocking Geez 04161 is the current. 032619 was the fire, lol. oh well have to move that out of the premium stash. Live and learn.
I have found with a few of smileys and kog greens I needed a period for my body to adjust to them before they started working properly for me. Maybe that is why? I haven’t gotten great results from it either, but am still working with it to try.
It seems all the bota’s are fickle like that for me.

The Red Borneo is good ? I’ll try that one next.
Yeah, I couldn’t figure out why the Bota wasn’t good. I thought I screwed up my chemistry from taking a few whites. I’m glad to hear it isn’t just me.
Yeah I agree the red Borneo is top notch! Everything I was looking for in a red. The White Bota is not as fast as I would of liked it to be. It has great mood lift and some euphoria but not to fast. With that being said I like really fast whites.
Got my order today. Malaysian Monster, White Monster, Yellow Vietnam, and Wild Red Borneo. Mixed Wild Red Borneo and Yellow Vietnam 2:1 ratio and OMG!! Feeling pretty damn good right now folks!!! If you haven't tried blending these two yet do it!
Edit: I have to add to this. I love STH's beautiful green leaf! I don't know about everyone else, but for me and my body, when my leaf is green (even red strains) the effects are so much stronger. STH always has such fresh and beautiful green leaf! Mr. Smiley Time...keep up the awesome job man!!!
Don't take my comment about the Wild Green Bota the wrong way. The new (current) batch is good leaf. I have some and like it, just the first batch was a tad bit better to ME. I doubt many could or would think there was even a difference in the 2.

Nice first post Luke. I've had this same thing happen to me ALSO with KOG Greens and Smileys. If I leave them out of my rotation for too long, when I come back to them.. it takes a few times for them to start hitting great, almost as if the alkaloid profile is much different than what else is in my rotation that it just takes an adjusting period. Leaf is weird like that.
Also, I've tried the Wild Red Borneo the other day and wow! Nice daytime red. I actually like it better than the Red Bali which is another favorite of mine

Funny that’s almost exactly my last order. Should be here tomorrow I went with Red Indo instead of PMD. But I would’ve went with the PMD if I didn’t already have a bunch of it

I hear after an unusually dry stretch its been raining continuously in Indo for days. Maybe that will eventually result in slowing you guys down, lol.
yeah i have a PMDm G Monster, WR Borneo, Y Viet queued up. I'm fighting it. I need some indocision. What is this Red Indo about?
Also see the Red Bali is a new batch...if anyone tries the new one soon, please report back. I have really enjoyed the Red Bali, wondering how it compares with previous batches? Hoping it might get even better? Love me some faster reds. Any fast red recommendations? Loved the Red Sandai too.

I agree the SMH Red Bali is excellent, though I can see many not appreciating it if they're not into that kind of red. Many find that kind of strain too subtle. Its wasn't quite up there with the recent batch of SoCal. Mr Smiley said the new batch was a bit faster. Its really helpful that SMH does reasonable samplers. I'm curious about the new Vietnams, Bali, and WR Borneo. Some other SMH will soon be sold out as well!

Just ordered the New Red Bali and some more WR Borneo. The WR Borneo is a great Red. It’s not too slow but can put you to sleep if that makes sense. Blend great with SG3 as well. I’ll def post my thoughts on the RB once I receive it. Also picked up some of the new batch of White Hulu. Very interested to see how fast it is.

I don’t know. Just saw the Red Indo was a fresh batch and decided to try it. I’ll let u know.
I’m gonna be making another order here soon and it will be a 2 kilo order each split 4 ways. I need help though so my first kilo I will call my daytime so I’ve already picked out my green strains for that one. I need help with my slow kilo. I really like heavy slow burns on the sedating side. Really wanted more of the super royal bentuangie but it’s out til the 7th. Anyways I really like golds, slow reds and bents. So was just wondering if anyone had tried his recent golds or the chocolate bent. So any strains that are current that might put me to sleep at night please feel free to point me in the right direction!
The red bali has been excellent for me when I wake up in the middle of the night and want to get back to sleep. That was the old batch, but he has a new one now that could be even better. I believe both are currently available.
The super green malay is a really good slow green that blends well with a red. It's in my nighttime blend, very pleasant to watch TV or read while falling asleep on it. It's heavy and some euphoria too.

Yeah I already have that Malay in my green kilo and I will try the red Bali for sure as a lot of people seem to like it. Have you tried any of his bents or has anyone in his current batches or any of the gold strains? Also I see he restocked premium md is that any good?

I have some of the Super Royal Bent. I don’t know what to make of it yet. It’s relaxing but seems to lack in other areas. It might be best blended with another strong Red. I’ll try it again tonight and see.
ScottyK wrote:I think I have the Wild Red Borneo coming. I’m excited to try that.
I also have the Wild Red Borneo coming, along with Malaysian Monster and a third round of
the Yellow Vietnam. The DoubleM dudes and dudettes are killing me. Just when I've thought
I have most of the strain I want from Mr. Smiley Time, up pOps another strain or two...or three
(Wild Red Borneo & Malaysian Monster!)
What are Smiley time's fastest strains? I just recieved their premium MD and absolutely love it, I want to try a couple other one's too! Has anyone tried Plantation w?
MST stuff sounds great from what I am reading. I am new to kratom, on my second week now. Life changer. Really looking for something to help me sleep at night. Anyone got any suggestions on what to order from him? Been ordering from ordering from enhanciosa. I have tried the red bali, red md and a red maylay. Really having a hard time finding something to put me out.
The super green malay is a great slow strain. I mix it with a red for a night time blend. Also he has a new batch of red Bali that is supposedly better than the last
jlaz wrote:Awesome thanks for the reply. Will be ordering in the next couple days
The super Royal bent and wild red Borneo are also good for bedtime IMO.
Fastest strain I've gotten from them was the premium Thai MD. It's a green/white blend. I wonder how amazing their stuff would've been for me if I'd discovered them on my second week.

Slow = Sedating, Fast = Stimulating.
Onset time is not a factor.
With that being said, Smiley's White Aceh is quite fast I was wound up most of the day yesterday. I have been dose reducing so with not having written it down, it was less than 3 grams. I was throwing reds and greens at it all day to tamp it down. Since I'm fully off my opioid pain medication, I asked my shrink to give me another benzo script. I don't take them all the time, usually at night to help with sleep.

I did find the White Aceh fairly fast, but for me it wasn’t uncomfortable. I thought it was pretty similar to the White Kali (probably a little smoother than the Kali IMO). I’ve definitely had faster whites and I am sensitive to those - I can’t really take them on their own - but I enjoy the Aceh very much.

same, very similar to kali. But it did give me all day garden work energy. I enjoyed it. fast is what you need when you need shit to get done. and i got a lot of garden stuff to do. always behind. after i did red jungle from sosa, and still chilling all night, planing going back to garden in a little then sleep before work.
Mr ST is very good at restocking 
Geez 04161 is the current. 032619 was the fire, lol. oh well have to move that out of the premium stash.
