STH White Banjo

[ba2000]

Bear with me:
Early/mid 2018-ish KOG had a White Banjo that was straight up aggressive. I got a 250 then, and it has lasted me till recently because it was SO fast I have/had to mix it with 1/3 something else to reel it in. At 1- 1.5g it was/is the fastest, biggest mood boost strains I have ever found. On the downside, Due to the speed- it also was the most anxiety causing strain I've come across. 250g lasted me almost 3 years, as it was one of the best low dose mixers I had.
STH's current (I think) White Banjo is that same leaf. The burn is so close, you could tell me they were the same batch and I'd believe you. Interchangeable.

Yeah I came to the conclusion that the origins of the name are possibly rooted in the old saying, "wound up tighter than a banjo string" lol. I've seen people use the term "zippy" when describing this batch, I find that to be rather accurate. Did you recently purchase this? Asking cause I've also seen people say that the quality has gone up and down over the past few of months.

I finally got a bunch of free samples of theirs when I purchased some SoCal from the Trading Post and I’m surprised how good it Burns for me. Gold Banjo is my favorite and the whole Ketapang strain has been wonderful, especially the Red. I’m just surprised because they’re a larger vendor but seriously, so many of their leaf is a hit for me! I got a membership and should move forward with an official first order.

Edit: Feb.

Ok, so a few years ago KOG had a gold banjo that was insane. It was slow, warm, lovey. It is still in the top 3 for me all time. That strain is why I lowered my dose. I blew through the bag. If I had a lower dose it'd still be in rotation.
Edit: KOG 2019(?) Gold Banjo is why I take kratom today.
Edit2: I have re uped and it was not the same. Like 3x faster and the AMAZING LOVEY was gone. Good in its own right, but not what I was looking for. But that's Kratom, isn't it.

Yes but the good news about that is that stuff that doesn’t hit tends to when revised down the road. Quite the treat.

This is expensive, but true.

or a play on the Banjar people of Kalimantan?

Really looking forward to giving this the banjo a whirl. It’s been a minute since I’ve ordered from Smiley, my go to used to be his Super Green Malay. Always solid. Got the banjo and Green Maha this time though!

Anyone try the Maha?
