Not for a couple of years

No, it's not a set schedule. This last one had been going on for over a month, so I assume it'll be a while. Try to check in more often; I'm sure he'll say something, when the time comes.

Pssh

You'll just have to watch for the post. Maybe every 2-3 months?

Well I got mine submitted just before midnight pacific time (I'm on the west coast). I hope the deadline wasn't central time! lol

I requested:
Wild Red Kampung
Wild Super Green TFH
White PMD
Wild Harvest Red PMD

Did I do a decent job picking for a beginner that prefers chill/mild ones?

It’s hard to go wrong. I really wanted to try that Red Kampung. Also, their previous white PMD is one of my favorite strains ever.

It really seems like I remember Chris saying it'll be around Thanksgiving.

It was central, but I'm sure they'll let it slide.

Are we being asked to review the samples included with our orders? I can't find the link to the review form. Thanks in advance.

Post by **Jestrice2002** » Wed Sep 02, 2020 8:14 am

Chris, thank you for everything! We've had more people involved in the chat this time, but I'm sure there are way too many sleeper orders, still! You guys do so much for us, and it's totally understandable that you're backed up - especially with it just being you and Angie!

Hopefully, everyone here will be patient and understanding. You deserve it! Thanks again, for everything, and hopefully we see you on the forum afterward, at least. <3

The sample review link is in the email confirmation you got with your order.

I'm not sure if this link is meant to be public, please ask Gumby first. Thanks!

I recall that someone mentioned the review link for samples is by invite only. Which might mean that URL could change for different batches of samples. But that’s only a guess. While this link does take you to a review page, it may not be the current review page for the current batch of samples. I’m not really sure. But I think it might be best to use the link in the email confirmation to make sure your review is received. I only point this out because I saved a copy of the link to the Pricing Menu. I just clicked on it yesterday and it brought me to a menu page from June. I wonder if anyone else can confirm.

I wouldn't worry about that being a hard deadline down to the minute. I know they've let others, including me, slide in after deadlines in the past.

I have some of the Wild Red Kampung and find it relaxing with a decent mood lift. Nice batch, actually. I can take it closer to bedtime than most other kratom batches without it disrupting my sleep. Some reviewers here have also noted it has decent pain relief properties.

I've not tried the Wild Super Green TFH so can't comment on that but the "Wild" batches do tend to be some of the best ones, IMO.

The White PMD in the past was quite energetic but very smooth so it didn't trigger a speedy feel that can tip over into anxiety. I actually found it helped with anxiety because the strong energy combined with a pronounced mood lift helped me tackle an intimidating pile of undone tasks.

As for Wild Harvest Red PMD, I'm impatiently waiting for a package containing that right now!

Oh, dear. I hope that's not the case! I've been using that link for months now. Yes, definitely use the one posted in the email confirmation before trusting the one I just posted. Thanks, Vipercuda69 for pointing that out!

I really enjoyed the Red Kampung sample I got. Wish I had ordered that one. If anyone wants to trade any of that for Wild White Hulu, Classic Green MD, or Deep Jungle Red MD let me know.

We have a Trading Post and you can join it on Sept 15th, going by your date of joining the forum. You have already passed the minimum number of posts.

Wow we had a very similar order I got all three of those and the red Kampung as a sample. I really like deep jungle red md

Post by **Burninator** » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:03 pm

I’m also a fan of Deep Jungle Red MD. Did anyone else notice a really unique taste to it? Almost smokey or a little burnt?

Post by **supremelivin** » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:06 pm

yea the deep jungle red taste was super clean to me, unlike any kratom i’ve tried. Not in a bad way but definitely unique

Post by **lavender** » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:44 pm

am so jealous in the good way ... deep jungle red md was on my list but it sold out so hopefully i will find that one on trading post

Post by **Zuvuya42** » Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:30 pm

Thank you so much for accepting orders that were within a day or two of the cut off date! I missed it by 12 or so hours and had no idea that the event was an open order period for an otherwise members-only business. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that payment info email. It was so kind of y'all to be flexible and help out us stragglers, thanks again!

Post by **Mossy7** » Thu Sep 03, 2020 8:01 am

Yes, Smokey is exactly how I would describe the Deep Jungle Red. Very nice effects. Very nice mood boost with relaxation.

Post by **Jestrice2002** » Thu Sep 03, 2020 12:44 pm

They were nice enough to repackage all of my orders into one box... Which has been in freakin' CALIFORNIA for two days! I'm in Florida.

OH NOOO! You poor thing.
I had that happen with a different vendor, through no fault of them. However, after it sitting across the country in Hawaii of all places (I’m in Mass) I got on the phone with USPS and put a claim in. It started moving the way it needed to the next day. It took what felt like forever and a day to get back to me, but that claim seemed to speed up the process anyways.
Might be worth a try!

Holy shit, that's insane!

I've dealt with this way too many times (I have always preferred to shop online when possible, too avoid people

), but it really sucks when it's something (or three) you're excited about. I've only lost something to the void a few times. You're right; things seem to magically start working when you call attention to it. I'll do so in the morning.

The True red malay is really unusual, sour and tangy. It's got good effects too.

mine showed up today too. smells so weird...like a wrapper for fruit leather. hard to place but familiar in a way that is far from kratom. idk whats going on there. technique? wanted to try it right away but i had too much to do after my evening serving so went ahead and tried the 30yr wild red tfh...at 2/3 my normal it was not as strong as id like but the pain relief alone is worth it. the pain melt is crazy in some of their batches. i am glad and thankful to have been able to stock myself with this stuff. one day my partner's pain will get bad enough she will finally relent and i'll magically have just the thing.

thanks so much again for all you do, chris. lots of small blessings for us.

I'm in the midst of coaxing my Guy into trying some of the TFH Whites for his ADHD and depression. Please leave a review after you sample the Red Malay! I'm so excited to learn about its qualities.
And I really do hope your partner's pain doesn't get that bad but, yes, TFH to the rescue

I am glad I came here and read the update. I haven’t been to the site in a while. But I emailed an order and hadn’t heard back yet so I was thinking it might’ve not gotten received on their end. But I see now they haven’t got to everyone yet.

Yeah, too many people don't read the updates. They're always on top of things!

Post by **Jestrice2002** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:17 am

Oh, I just realized you were the one who asked about ordering on the last day. You'll hear back, but they're trying to get through tons of orders.

I'm so glad my bf had a sore back last summer and was willing to try it. he loves it for many reasons now... just like I do. I wouldn't buy a fraction of the leaf I do without him being on board... and just as excited to try new batches as me

hopefully your gf decides to give it a shot. it's a lot of fun experimenting and comparing as a team!

Oh, I wish my situation were different. I introduced my then - boyfriend to kratom, and he got obsessed. It was supposed to be for the occasional pain, but he started taking more than I did. I had A HUGE doomsday stash, and he started blowing through it, with no chipping in to replenish.

He thinks we have a couple kilos right now, and that's how it's staying. He's only bought a couple in the last 4 years, and I'm not letting him do the same thing again. I'll share, of course - I have to - but he'll hopefully never know that I've been trying to build up again. I feel shitty for saying this, but I feel pretty used all around, and this is not something I'm willing to lose. Especially not TFH.

Last week I posted that one of the strains I just got in was some of the best kratom I've ever had, but I didn't name it. Green Premium Maeng Da. It's incredibly strong. I discovered that if I take 1.75g of TFH Wild Kapuas Hulu, wait 1 hour until it gives me that gentle glow, then take 1g GPMD, it blows me away for 5 hours. I also found out that I can't take it 2 days in a row. If I try, my body doesn't respond to it, almost like I didn't take any kratom at all.
Even so, it's easily in my top 2 strains.

The Deep Jungle Red MD is a superb red, but it tastes absolutely awful, kinda like burnt plastic. Alas - taste is meaningless in kratom land. I still haven't tried some of my other new TFH strains.

Out here in California, we've been dealing with some terrible wildfires & had to spend a lot of time packing bags & important items to prepare for escaping the flames. One of my close friends lives up in the local mountains around San Jose & he had to evacuate on a moments notice. His house is deep in the forest & we figured he & his family would lose everything. The fires burned down every single one of his neighbors homes & all the trees around his house, but his home wasn't damaged at all. Yay! But we city dwellers were told we needed to be prepared to evacuate, so I packed away all my best kratom strains, & my mind wasn't on trying new strains at all.

I’ve tried maybe 25-30 TFH strains and the batches you named (GPMD and G Hulu) are some of my all time favorites in the last 5 years. I use them sparingly, because they are very potent for me. But also because it will be a sad day when those bags are empty. Lol. But I do have several drawers full of TFH strains. So I’m well prepared for the apocalypse should it ever come.

"The Deep Jungle Red MD is a superb red, but it tastes absolutely awful, kinda like burnt plastic."

See... taste counts for something. I'm not getting a strain based on taste, but it does make a nice cup of tea vs choking down some grog.

Good review, how did you figure out that was what caused a super good burn?
