Black Friday Update - Texas Family Harvest (TFH)

[CCB]

Thanks guys... I like both of your advice. AppreciatedI think I just let the stress work me up a bit for no reason. Whatever arrives will be perfect no worries

[Shmigler]

Best day of the year

[Loseandfindbooks]

Got my order in! I can’t wait to get my hands on my favorite leaf again. I have a question for anyone who might have some insight. My favorite strain has always been TFHs Chocolate Bent, it is so versatile and of course I ran out last month. Bummed it’s not available but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Anything Compperable on the menu this go around?

[Luvndpeace]

Have you tried the royal bent?

[Loseandfindbooks]

Have you tried the royal bent?

I have not, but I did order some! I figured it was going to be my best bet. But I’m thinking of placing one more order so I wanted to see if there was something else I should try out.

The chocolate was awesome for mixing with a white during the day and reds at night. For me personally it kinda enhanced whatever I was taking that day.

[Luvndpeace]

a lot of darker strains, esp fermented go great with a green or white. If I only use fermented it won’t last for me.

If you like that in between , lazy sundae was low mid to mid for me and has gotten a lot of love , not a snoozer.

I really enjoyed wild kali for night, probably one of the slow ones other than bent.

30YW red bali and the great Bali of fire are pretty nice lower mid/slows.

***but as always what hits for me might not for you, but I don’t think you can go wrong, esp if you know you’re good with the royal bent

This is not an event to cause worry. You have a couple of posts, work your way up to a few more, get on The Trading Post and start bagging your shit!! That is when the real fun starts.

"It's only just begun..."

Those are a different kind of drafts you will be revising before too long.

It is all fun around here, Welcome!!

[Loveandpeace]

And look out for my imposter...I was THE first!!

[Vipercuda69]

I’m not sure why my post didn’t show up on the forum. Trying again.

I just sent 2 orders to Chris but got the auto-generated reply for only the first order. No auto-generated email for the second order. I’ll assume both orders went through successfully. I hope so.

[Markra]

It’s setup to send just one automated e-mail per address no matter how many orders you put in

[Luvndpeace]

And look out for my imposter...I was THE first!!

It’s true

[NoLoveLost]

What a fantastic day! I had my order already written up and saved as a draft for the past week I fell asleep early so I didn’t send till now.

You’re good!!! Now for the anticipation until delivery

WOW!! I love it when someones wacky handle sums up their post position. Did that make sense? I almost sent you a post saying 'No Love Lost'

It is a lot to live up to... I know.

Thank you for the Welcome Lovepeace!(still learning how to post & quote properly.)
Appreciate your response! Feeling much better. Thinking maybe I just need to start posting some reviews to get myself acquainted here, connect with the community & earn that coveted trading post status. A bit about myself: My speciosa journey started a little more than 3 years ago, but in that time I have acquired quite the treasure trove of experiential knowledge & my own connoisseurs collection (due in part to the great folks of this community who’s legendary posts have led me to seek out some incredible gems and vendors), as well as gaining some rare insight into this miracle botanical by much more experienced users. I’ve built a relationship with several approved vendors and as a tester for BB I can attest to some amazing strains coming down the pipeline soon. My vast trial & error collection consists of some classic old school batches from Precious Mitre, Canopy, vintage SoCal (and a few from the newer Eastcoast Tea Co.) Christophers organic, LIHerbals, Fused Flora, Benni’s, Happy Hippo, and Gaia Ethnobotanical’s (before they turned into the mediocre MitreGaia), some Laughing Lion (before I knew better), Krabot, PA Botanicals, Pharmacy Drop Out, Gold Leaf & Incense botanicals, Inland Botanicals, and the forum favorites Smiley, Denette, Mitreman, Liza’s, Botanical Bunny and soon TFH! As an advocate and a writer I’ve been compiling a little “Kratom Guidebook for Responsible Usage” for my friends & relatives who are newer to the plant...(it’s easier than answering a million texts). My sister is in publishing so I have considered self publishing an e-Book or something of the like, so please let me know if there is any interest within this community. Right now it’s kind of a pet project of mine and I have already spoken with several top vendors about including their story, insights & experience. My aim is to learn, inform, demystify and guide the sudden influx of newbies to this beautiful multi-purpose plant while encouraging more research and advocacy in order to keep it legal & available to all who wish to partake in their own personal K-Journey. Demonization helps no one, education is key. Thank you for listening and happy Sunday all!

Thanks for the recommendations, I think I ordered all but the Kali. Maybe I’ll add that to a second order. I’m presure Iv tried that one before. I know I won’t be disappointed either way. This is my 4th time ordering from TFH. Iv tried a lot of different strains and I think only 2 were a miss. But I picked them up like a year later when I was running low and I actually liked them. It’s funny how that happens. Fermented strains also don’t work well for me on their own. 6 years in and my tolerance is a little high even with breaks. But I agree they are great for mixing.

Not sure if you tried it, but tweaking your dose for the ones that don't hit might be the key. I've noticed most of them scale well for higher tol people, but even with a high tol, some of them might hit the spot at way lower like 2 or 3g If your avg is like 6. Definitely can be tough. Hope I was some help. I'm still newer and just trying to pay back what was given to me. =) Let me know how they go if you remember in a couple of weeks. I tired Old School Red borneo last night, was pretty solid lower mid for me. It was last of a long day, so I can't give a full spec yet, but I enjoyed it. I'm trying the Jungle Red Hulu tonight, heard that can be a slower one, probably a step above the kali.

[Nonnie69]

Thanks for the open event!!Ive been stashing money back for this and I ordered almost 5 kilo at 12:00 on the dot Making sure I have enough to last until the next event!

[shmatom]

Looking forward to trying some new batches and some old favorites!

[oftheshire]

That’s so true^
Last year when I ordered my TFH kilos, there were several that didn’t really work for me at all. But my tolerance was very high (almost double what it is now). Last week I went back and tried the batches that didn’t work (with a lower dose) and they all were great. I think a lot of kratom is this way

WOW CCB, that is amazing! I think that would be so wonderful. Unfortunately, you search anywhere for solid vendors, and they only return results for the larger vendors that are really expensive and not all good quality. Add in looking for personal experiences when getting started. I appreciate your work for our community. We are lucky to have people like you around!

The jungle red Hulu is a great upper- mid spec for me gives great mood boost, the grind is coarser which I love.

Thanks LoveRedz, I'll jot that down, there isn't as many reviews for the red hulu, Ill try it on an early afternoon, see how it burns for me. I like coarser too. Do you know why texture burns differently for some?

Oh whoops, I must have misread sorry.

Quite a List there CCB, welcome to MM. No KOG, Okie, RVA ?? . hey I bought from all those except for Hippo Rippo // or that [ COB, PDO, PAB, Insense ] bunch from the old ILK Forum. Some of those prices were insane! You should publish the e-book man. Always a need for good positive consumer Info!

Of course, every vendor is different... But TFH is doing great things for kratom. That's not to say, another vendor could switch gears and imitate, or duplicate, TFH success? Others do get quality batches... But Chris @ TFH has invested a lot of TIME, in the important aspect of Indo sourcing, and his product quality and variety shows. Nice to see, what's possible for kratom ~ And sadly it reflects poorly on the majority of USA vendors. In 2021 the majority of vendors now either re-sell Wholesale low-grade leaf, OR they import Direct but accept (and sell), very average stuff... Import Shipping continues to be a problem, there again - Chris has years of experience dealing with Imports. Lots of "Trade Secrets" in this business, and most USA vendors just don't have the same dedication, time, or history.

Is there always an automated email reply? I sent my order yesterday, no response. I checked my spam as well. I know you guys are busy so I don’t want to fuss over a 24 hour wait, but I just wanted to double check. Thanks!

You’re good, the automated email is normal. On the first page of the thread they explain it could be 24-72 hours in between communications, and in the beginning even longer. You sent it in today after midnight right not yesterday right?

[DittonW]

As an advocate and a writer I’ve been compiling a little “Kratom Guidebook for Responsible Usage” for my friends & relatives who are newer to the plant...(it’s easier than answering a million texts).

I would be really interested in something like that - I have multiple family members who I think could benefit from kratom, but they stop listening when I start talking about "helpful supplement." They think I am ordering RC;s again or something. It would be nice to have a simple , concise, and accurate pdf I could just pass along. I would be happy to assist in any way I could .

As long as you sent it it in after 12am est on the 25th. If you sent it in earlier you won’t get the automatic email and I’m not sure if your order would be considered eligible. I did that once had the time differences mixed up and sent my order in an hour early. I waited 3 days and I didn’t get a response so I resent my order, got the automatic email and had payment comfirmation within a 48 hours. The only bummer was I missed out on a few of the strains I wanted, but I found some new ones I love so no biggie in the end.

[Kratomtoa]

Got my email today...when people said automatic email, I thought they meant like a computer generated one. Thanks!

Nice! I know its exciting but Chris and Angie are amazing at what they do, and I have 100% faith in them to get us through the next couple weeks! If everyones patient, we will all have some great leaf to look forward to thanks to them

Have y'all looked at the eye candy picture of 30 Year Wild TFH (red) ? It's so beautiful it looks like it's shimmering Cannot wait to try this batch of it

[Luvndpeace]

*Please scroll down to the section below titled "April/May Event Instructions" for information on how to order during this event.

April/May Event Instructions Read here for instructions on how to order During these events, we are unable to operate like we normally do. At each event, we have a handful of people who are really upset with their experience because they did not read the event instructions. Please read - the info below will help ensure that your order goes smoothly and your experience is a positive one!

Stage 1 - Pre-Orders (April 25th - May 1st): We will kick off this event with a one-week pre-order period beginning Sunday, April 25th. Please expect that during this time frame our email response will be very spotty (possibly more than 48-72 hours), but rest assured all orders we receive by May 1st will be processed as pre-orders and get first priority with shipping. Our goal is to have all pre-orders shipped by May 3rd, but please give a couple days flex with the ship date in case we get behind. *Note - we will likely ship some pre-orders early. Please notate in your order email if you DO NOT want your order to ship early for any reason.

Quoted from Chris and Angie's Event Instructions on page 1.

"Could be more than 48-72 hours before you get a response", and that depends on your place in the order queue. They are pro's I'm sure we will hear from them soon. Just a note if you didn't read the event details thoroughly, sending multiple emails could result in your place in line being moved to the back (and slowing down the process), that is not to say that if there is an actual problem don't reach out to them - just make sure you read and follow everything clearly and you will be A-OK!

I ordered around 6 AM Sunday morning and have not heard back, other than the computer-generated email reply. I'm sure it's coming! I bet they were bombarded these last 2 days.

During these open events, they get an incredibly high volume of orders, and emails can take 24-72 hours. But they will get to you, you don't have to worry about that

On the very first post on the first page of this thread everything is explained about the ordering process and how long it can take and answers to many questions that customers may ask during the event. I know it's a long read but it has all the information. You're good though, don't stress the wait (easier said than done, I know ). TFH will take care of you, and you will be rewarded with some of the best leaf available (at least in my opinion it is the best leaf)

And since this is still only the pre-order stage, if you want to and are able to you'll have plenty of time to make another order (or 2 or 10 ) before the event ends. Hope you're order works out for you. What did you order, if I may ask? If I have tried or already have any of the strains in your order I can give you a brief review of what you have coming??
