Smiley Time Strain Review

Note that I gravitate toward greens but I enjoy and use all "vein colors".

All the following were purchased within the last 2-3 weeks. I've tried 8 of the 13 strains I have and will edit others in later.

The PMD was a sample of his new batch. Of course, i ordered a large qty the very next day.

PMD - 9 - Mid/Fast - 5g
SG#3 - 8 - Mid Spec - 5g
G. Monster - 8 - Mid/Fast - 5g
Prem R. Thai - 8 - Mid/Slow - 5g
R. Smile - 6.5 - Slow - 5g
YHK - 6.5- Mid Spec - 6g
R. Sandai - 6 - Slow - 5g
GHK - 6 - Mid Spec - 6g

All strains so far have been good if not GREAT in my experience. The variety offered at STH is excellent. I'll also add that the 6.5 ratings could easily be 7s. I did that due to my own indicision between the two ratings.

REFERENCE
My rating index. A single strain can fluxuate several levels within this index. Just depends on personal variables at the moment of use (diet, supplimentation, sleep, exercise, use intervals, etc.) Kratom is strange like that.

0 = not kratom, something else
1-2 = might be kratom but caused negative side effects
3-4 = Kratom but with minimal effects. Forgettable
5-6 = Decent kratom and works as intended
7-8 = Excellent Kratom with great results. Recommeded
9-10 = Exceptional kratom by current standards. Personal favorite. Typically batch exclusive but can be found with some consistency for a limited tine with a solid vendor.

Also, I use a digital scale and i've added MY "optimum" dosage to give you some idea of the potency between the strains. I do lower that dose to find a "sweet spot" based on my pain level and how hard my depression is baring down at that moment. This can balance MY pain and depression relief. I rarely go beyond that dose because it typically boggs me down and/or worsens my depression symptoms over time.

Lastly, my tolerance is pretty high after over 5 years of use but I do try and manage it. I do not recommend MY dosages to anyone other than ME. Always keep in mind that with kratom, less can mean more.

Have a Smiley Sunday!

I just got about 9 strains in from smileys. Haven't tried all of them yet but the ones i have tried are good! I also tend to like greens the most, i only have premium md and sg3 from your list. Havent tried sg3 yet, but i agree about PMD! PMD is so GOOD!!!

The sampler of Green Monster that came with my order was so enjoyable that I ordered 250 grams of the stuff, and I don't usually do that with Green and White strains.

On the fast side but has very good euphoria.

I plan on buying larger qty of this as well. My second fav in this purchase but tied with the SG#3.

Weird, I get a totally different effect from Red Sandai. I found it to be fast. It did an amazing job killing my pain and then I was buzzing around like a bee, super productive.

Interesting. It has been hitting me pretty hard at 5gs but i have been takibg it pretty late (10ish) Perhaps I need to lower it to 3-4gs as It has been knocking me out within an hour. Different batch maybe?

I also tried Smiley's R. Sunda recently and expected it to also be slow but it ended up stimulating me to the point of keeping me up half the night. I enjoyed it and almost purchased a larger qty today but ended up going with the Yellow Sunda for some reason. I've been StockpIling my favorites lately but only have one other Yellow (Hulu) in my stash.

I'll try 3- 4gs of the R. Sandai and report back.
