Daily Review thread: What's burnin' today?

[guitartodd77]

2g THB Red Malay #44 + 1g BB Gold Bali Lot 13 = Relaxed

[Damen ck]

Had some of Benni's Red Indo late last night, totally knocked me out in less than an hour. I was trying to stay awake to enjoy the effects but was totally unable to. I'm going to stash that and keep for "emergencies" when I need to get to sleep fast. It's a green colored red, but acted more like a bent usually does.

This morning Jiminy's Super Green and Benni's White Jong Kong, nice clean burn so far, not overly energetic but it's not making me more sedated as some greens are wont to do early in the morning. Decent mood lift and contentment. I've found that both Jiminy's greens I've tried are solid mid-specs, which always has a place in my rotation.

Might do a blend of greens for lunch...TFH, Benni, and Denette. I try to plan my doses out but inevitably change my mind once I'm at my kratom station.

Trying blends with the large number of poor quality batches I have piling up at the back of the closet. Today I enjoyed a surprisingly energetic blend of Soul's Wild White Kapuas 1:1 with Leaf of Life's Super Green. The Leaf of Life had no mood uplift at all but did have a little energy. The Soul WWK was the exact opposite, no energy but a moderate mood lift. On their own, both batches where totally useless to me and now I'm able to add 500g more to my rotation. Almost feels like free leaf but it most definitely wasnt free.

[nerdy ninja]

It’s crazy how that works. I’ve had the same experience when blending batches that didn’t work for me on their own but I’ve also blended 2 strains that are amazing on their own and when blended did nothing for me. I blended some 7ohm EGM2 with some Smiley PMD once thinking I was gonna see god and hear angels sing since they both are some of the best strains I’ve ever had and it was a huge dud lol

[jabro70]

This morning’s burn is Smiley’s current batch of Yellow Samarinda. This one is putting a smile on my face!

[guitartodd77]

4g TFH Super Red Sunda last night. WOW! Excellent relaxation, mood lift, pain releif and stimulation. Excellent batch.

This afternoon I needed help with my mood so I went with Spirit Science Green 46 from Sept '19. Instant smiles.

Tonight will be Some Goldfumed RTMD. Best pain reliever I have in my experience so far.

[SRQ941]

4gs of MitraMan Red Horn. Very relaxed watching Game of Thrones!

[leafeater]

3g TFH 30 yr wild super green with 4g Soul white horn. Got lots of energy. Ha ha!

[herbalhippie]

THB #31 Green Piamen. Except for Rhino's SGM I have been neglecting my greens for many months in favor of reds. Interested to see how this will affect me.

[Damen ck]

Had some 7ohm Elephant Green Malay. Pleasantly impressed, an excellent burn for the afternoon. I was looking for a mood lift with some stimulation and this was perfect. Considering making a large order, according to his site it's most 2017 leaf. I kind of suspected the leaf was aged when I opened the bag...not as strong smelling and the color had faded, but had no effect on its potency. One of the better greens I've had lately for sure... this one's going in the rotation.

This evening I have two Denette reds and two Jiminy reds, going to make some sort of undecided blend.

[Klubbs]

Speciosa Life Premium Hulu.. One of mt favorite strains of all time i think. Its my "get shit done around the house, while feeling great strain".

[CatfatherB]

This morning I went with white Tiger King from Goldfumed...this maybe one of the most euphoric whites I've had from this year. I just took his Natural red Banjar for my pm dose.

[MycatTimmy]

Today has been Denettes Green Fire. Lots of motivation without jitters. A lot of greens tend to give me a headache but not this strain. I’ve also been able to decrease my dose because this is pretty potent. 4th time I’ve tried it with no decrease in effects. I’m very happy with this purchase.

[guitartodd77]

Tonight its 2g Soul Red JK from July + 2g Liza's White Slippery Rock from April of last year. Very mellow and uplifting combo. A nice send off serving before I start my break tomorrow.

[Sneakers]

7ohm yellow vietnam. Ridiculously fast, especially given that its a yellow vietnam....I've always loved this strain for its mellow, sometimes euphoric effect...but fast?? Thats a new one for me but I love the fast strains. I later added some Botanical Bunny green jk and KOG og wmd and I was wired all afternoon.

[RumRunner]

2.5g TFH red PMD & 2.5g Lucky’s green Bali. I’ve had mixed results with blends, but this one turned out good.

[hc7]

4g's of Benni's MD Blend is a pretty great all around strain, it does it all well.

Has anyone tried his Green Elephant? I also just received it and will be trying soon, just havent seen it talked about much and not sure if its because not many people opt for elephant strains or just that it isnt a popular strain.

Also have Green Goddess to review as well when I get into it.

[conscious_conundrum]

5g SOSA 9/10 Baik Bali....perfect this morning. Up next is Green Teweh from Soul.

[gopher]

5g TFH chocolate bent. This one has been my current favorite for a couple weeks.

2.5g TFH red PMD & 2.5g Lucky’s green Bali. I’ve had mixed results with blends, but this one turned out good.

How do you like the red PMD? I am going to place an order tonight and was probably going to do a 4 way split with 3 reds and 1 yellow, and the red PMD was on my list.

[IndelibleDotInk]

4g fused flora super white

about an hour later added 1g

45 min later 300mg caffeine from reign caffeinated drink

40 min later starting to hit

Kratom mixes very well with caffeine, it's like using a match to light a firecracker; I drink coffee, tea, or energy drinks several times per week. (If I drink it every day my sleep isn't as quality no matter the time I drink 'em.)

Shaun's (Fused Flora) kratom has been solid (in my limited experience). He sent samples to me when I first got into kratom about six months ago and it made enough of an impression for me to order a full kilo eventually, having it on my mind the whole time (had to use up some kratom to justify a purchase).

As a stand alone strain, the Green PMD may be better. I think Chris might be out of it. But.....the red PMD mixes REALLY WELL. It can slow down a favorite green for a quality night time dose.

[Banana pants]

Tonight's burn was TFH 24K indo. This felt very fermented to me, making me itch worse than any bent (strong opioids make me itch.
Percocet is intolerable without Benadryl). And it also had very little effect, just like a bent. Man, I hope this is one of the "takes a few doses to hit" varieties, otherwise it's destined for the TP.

I ordered 100G of this as well. Was hoping it would be a winner. What amount did you dose? No happy boost or anything from it?

lmk how the goddes does, i have the red and green both sealed still....i have 22 amber jars in my rotation so i dont open new batches(usually) untill one of those jars its empty..then ill go to my stash and refill or try something new.... i used to open and try everything b4 lol thats how it got to 22...so now i keep everyth9ng sealed till its time

This is strictly my body chemistry. I have never found a bent that does anything besides make me itch, and I have tried quite a few.
Probably 8 or 9 different vendors, all highly rated and/or on Ballz' vendor list. I don't even sample them anymore for this reason. I love yellows as they are usually my most euphoric and long legged burns, so I ordered this blind. I have yet to have a TFH strain that wasn't outstanding out of the 32 of his I have in my rotation. Had I known this was heavily fermented I would probably have passed on ordering, but it is a gold, an indo,and TFH so I rolled the dice.

My dose is 1.25g twice a day and I try to burn every other day because I have issues with my hair falling out. Dosing every other or every two days helps with this tremendously.

And this long winded reply is brought to you by 1.25g of TFH Green PMD, which is turning into a phenominal burn this morning.

6 months. I'm very careful to keep my dosage low. I will dose twice a day on usage days, never the same color/batch/strain in a row, and I use my scale with every dose. Occasionally I branch out and make tea instead of TnW and for that I will increase my dose by 25%, but that doesn't occur often. I have enough of a variety that I can rotate vendors with every burn as well. I try to keep accurate records so that I don't use the same variety within two weeks. I'm all about avoiding tolerance! I've been at 1.25g for about 4 months now.

My burns last between 4 and 7 hours usually with excellent effects for the most part, unless it's a bentuangie. Then I'm screwed and just itch for hours.

This evening's burn is 1.6g 7ohm white thai. I used 0.14g citric acid powder and 4 oz boiling water and let it steep for 30 minutes. Then I aeropressed it, mixed in a good bit of honey and chugged. It was much better than my last attempt with citric acid.

I had to go back and make sure I didn't add too much citric acid!

Great three part burn today
Morning: 30 Year Wild White TFH, afternoon: Liza's Green Big Bang, evening: blend (2/3) Appalachian Herbs Chocolate Bent + (1/3) Mitraman Gold MD

Benni White Maeng Da and Denette Turtle Horn, on this very early morning.

Talking with Benni convinced me to try something new....I'd always thought sublingual (under the tongue) kratom was a joke, due to.how gross it sounds, but actually.doing.1-2 grams isn't that bad, provided you keep it all under your tongue and have juice to wash it down with after 10-20 minutes. It does seem to make a difference, after doing some testing to see if I can tell if it's placebo or not. It seems to hit more quickly, since it doesn't have to be digested, and some of the alkaloids are absorbed directly into the blood stream. So I've been able to lower the dose by about 1/3-1/4 on the doses I do it with. If you think you can bear it, try it out. Fermented strains seem to be easier tastewise, but if you do it right, you barely taste it.

Kratom mixes very well with caffeine, it's like using a match to light a firecracker; I drink coffee, tea, or energy drinks several times per week. (If I drink it every day my sleep isn't as quality no matter the time I drink 'em.)

I totally agree, as long as I don't overdo the caffeine, because it seems to overpowers the kratom to an extent. I still drink coffee every day at least once, during my first dose, and that's typically the best dose of the day. Caffeine seriously alters my sleep too (especially energy drinks!), but I can take it if I don't drink it too late in the day.

First time trying the TFH Wild Crafted Rocket Red this evening. Wow! Its more than just a clever name. This batch has some kick and energy along with some warmth and pain relief at 4g. A very unique offering in my opinion. I'll be placing another order sooner than I had planned.

I got that today as well and it was my first dose. Perfect daytime red. For me, at 3 grams, it was mid-to-mid spec energy, subtle kick is how I'd describe the energy boost. I felt it had great wakefulness, like a mental energy that helps with overall feeling of energy, if that makes sense.

And it had long legs. Pain relief and subtle energy for solid 5-6 hours which is so rare for a red. Agree that it is a unique strains.

I'll be placing another order for this as well as I love these faster daytime reds

[flybye99928]

3 g tfh classic white md + 2 g ff red borneo

[guitartodd77]

Experimenting with the Aeropress this afternoon. Very easy and works well. Kicking back sipping on some Mitraman Green Maeng Da Crushed Leaf. Still playing with the serving size but my pain has been reduced to almost nil and I'm very relaxed. I think it's time for a nap.

[Banana pants]

This afternoon's burn was TFH green dayak. I metabolize this strain as a mid spec with lots of smooth energy, obliterates my anxiety, and gives amazing focus. It's not particularly euphoric or pro social for me, but allows me to really grind out some work and be happy about it. This is my perfect homework strain. Seeing as I have a paper to write and a final to take it is just what I need.

[jabro70]

Burning triples today-

This morning was Lucky’s Green Hulu (10/19), Sosa’s Baik (819) and Sosa’s White Motan.

This afternoon I’m burning TFH Wild Crafted Gold (current), TFH Wild White Vietnam (fall ‘19) and DG’s Super Red Indo (6/19).

All blended 1:1:1 and both burns OUTSTANDING!

[Sneakers]

Soul green vein. I had only tried one other Soul strain before (I cant remember which) and it didn't work for me so I wasn't sure what to expect...but this one is awesome. On the faster side with a warm/happy/euphoric feel to it.
