Fused Flora, Sosa, Lucky

[Adrumaddict]

This will be my first review, and thought I would do this a little different by including what is in my opinion, the best of the best of what I've tried so far from multiple vendors.

Fused Flora:

Green Kapuas
Pain relief: 7-10
Anxiety: 5-10
Energy: 9-10
Mood lift: 9-10
This energy powerhouse is one of the best antidepressants I've experienced in the world of Kratom. This one is not for at home relaxing, but for stressful high energy jobs that can be miserable without a little help. It's dosage sensitive, and works best at the higher end of 4g+ for me, though a smaller dose does work well as an at home fog buster when feeling a little sluggish.

Super Green (Borneo)
Pain relief: 7-10
Anxiety: 4-10
Energy: 9-10
Mood lift: 9-10
This one for me is as close to a white without being a white as you can get. I found this one is best to mix with other stains as a booster, which works extremely well especially if you have a bit of a tolerance, adding a little of this one helps break through that barrier, and it plays well with others. Note: This one is stupid strong, a little goes a very long way.

Sosa:

Red Sunda:
Pain: 9-10
Anxiety: 7-10
Energy: 4-10
Mood lift: 9-10
This is what a classic red is supposed to be like in my opinion. Not fermented, great pain relief, and oh so happy. I find that a lot of the fermented reds can be one dimensional and unexciting, not this one, not any of the reds I've tried from Sosa.

Red Sumatra:
Pain relief: 9-10
Anxiety: 8-10
Energy: 3-10
Mood lift: 9-10
Very similar to Red Sunda but a little slower. Again, Sosa reds are amazing! Perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, and even for sleep. There's still enough sedation even though there is a lot of mood uplift.

Baik Bali:
Pain: 9-10
Anxiety: 7-10
Energy: 5-10
Mood lift: 9-10
Again similar to the other two, but this one really shines in the mood lift department, almost 10-10. This might be the most enjoyable red I've ever experienced. Also good for sleep, or midday burns.

Super Green:
Pain: 8-10
Anxiety: 7-10
Energy: 7-10
Mood lift 8-10
This one caught me off guard, as it's rather strong. Another wonderful antidepressant with some decent energy, and pain relief. Great for getting things done at work, or even for relaxing at home. Great mid level energy green.
(Ben please come back, I need you man, lol.)

Lucky:

Green Maeng Da:
Pain: 9-10
Anxiety: 8-10
Energy: 5-10
Mood lift: 8-10
This leaf is insanely strong, and has legs for days! I've never felt anything like this during my kratom travels. It's not only strong, but very distinctive in its effects. Quite literally, no other kratom feels like this one in my opinion. Very well balanced, and a strong feeling of confidence, and well being, which lasts a ridiculously long time by the way, 6 hours easily. This is a must try for all kratom enthusiasts. Note: Use a little more than half the amount you usually use, or it will simply knock you on your ass.

Green Hulu:
Pain: 8-10
Anxiety: 8-10
Energy: 5-10
Mood lift: 8-10
Like the GMD it is almost suspiciously strong and long lasting. I don't mean that as an accusation by any means, I know Lucky's legit AF, I'm just trying to relay how strong this stuff is. Again very distinctive effects from anything else I've had so far. This one was a little slower than the GMD, but also had that strong sense of confidence and well being, which lasted most of the day (6+ hours!!!) Nice pain relief, and very relaxing, with clear mindedness, as long as you don't take too much. Again, don't take your usual dose or it will simply be too much, or maybe that's what you're looking for lol.

I hope you all enjoyed my first review, and more importantly, I hope it was helpful, as you all have been an amazing guiding light for me through the overwhelming world of vendors and strains, and I sincerely thank all of you. Please take care. \m/

Nice in depth review! I also really like lucky's GMD. Need to pick more up sometime.

[Adrumaddict]

Matt11,
Thanks, and Lucky just restocked as well.

Very good options ive enjoyed them all but FF green Kapuas.....his wild green and red Kapuas are wonderful also as are many of his reds and super white....Great vendors!

[CatfatherB]

I'll second the Wild Green and Red from Fused Flora, very potent! And I'll second the return of Ben from SOSA, I hope this isn't another Speciosa life situation?

[Adrumaddict]

CatfatherB,
I guess I should've been more specific since Shaun (Fused Flora) has two versions of kapuas. I was referring to the plain G Kapuas, not the wild. The wild green and red are ridiculously strong, but for me they seem to lack some of the alkaloids crucial for that wonderful kratom uplifting antidepressant feeling. I should also add that when I purchased the regular Green Kapuas it was the dry season, and it was one of his strongest strains at that time, so I don't know if it's still as fiery or not. Not saying the wild G Kapuas is bad in any sense, just that it's not as practical in its uses for me as the reg G Kapuas.

are these sosa's most current reds?

[LuckyHerbals]

Thank you for the review, Adrumaddict! Very happy you are pleased with the restock. We just received another shipment today as well. We hope everyone is safe and healthy during this crisis. Kratom on!

[Adrumaddict]

are these sosa's most current reds?

I have the Wild Green Kapus (WGK) and Super Green Boeneo (SGB) from FF.

I enjoy the SGB and like to mix it with other strains, but I cant figure out the WGK. It is stupid strong for me. The first time I took it was in the evening at my usual dose and I could not go to sleep. I was up pacing at 4am & It lasts looong time. I tried 50% dose and it was better, but I get 0 pain relief. Also I cant figure out how to blend it without it overpowering or underperforming.

If you dont use kratom for pain, you would love this strain.

What I've discovered is that the strength of a strain doesn't mean that much if the alkaloid makeup is lacking in some way. This is why I prefer the regular Green Kapuas from Fused Flora over the Wild Green. The regular G Kapuas is still an energetic strain, but it also provides an extreme uplift in mood which also curves anxiety, and it provides decent pain reduction. As I mentioned in a previous reply, I purchased the reg GK many months back during the dry season, and it was one of the strongest strains he had at that time, so if you decide to give this one a try, I would first inquire about its current potency. Shaun's really helpful and honest in that capacity.

I appreciate the comments Adrumaddict and CatFatherB, I'm sure sharing your experiences will help others find a strain that can agree with them to find similar feelings. Thanks for sharing.

[matt11]
