No, I would guess nobody has "tried" them, because... How many vendors can you reasonably Try (Spend money On) ? :mrgreen:

Lately it's been... Squeaky Wheel gets the grease. :P Which ever vendor is HERE promoting... Gets a few orders, reviews, comments. We've had very aggressive NEW vendors, invade here from Discord, Facebook, etc - Fine, they're hitting all the boards selling their stuff!!

Garuda IS a well established, trusted, long term vendor - In the past, they've had good kratom - But it seems like NOW, it's whoever is actively selling. Number #1 IS, those vendors (and their friends) who Register accounts here, comment & post here... Garuda / Hudson hasn't done that. There's almost ZERO loyalty or "support" for established vendors -VS- the new guys who hustle reviews?

Just observing.. The Market right now is VERY competitive!! Also, Garuda/ Hudson did have low stock/ re-stock issues over the past year? I'd assume they are very Part Time... newer vendors are "Eating their Lunch" right now :lol:

Garuda is a member here - memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=166

Although I do agree with you, the vendors who interact with the community outside of the listing board build trust and make a lot of sales. I’ve had several vendors contact me telling me that they do pretty substantial business here on the DoubleM.

What type of burn is the wild yellow?! I've been wanting to order from them as they are closest vendor to my neck of the woods and wanna keep trying new stuff!!
But, my issue is I do t have enough info on enough strains to seem it worth trying to order somewhere totally new and not even much opinion posted by other either.....

Amazing vendor and products. Try their Green OV, oven dried. I regret not getting more of it, I simply have too much already. Also, I second on the Wild experience, I have only tried the Green Wild and it is also superb, much like anything else from Garuda.....

I am preparing an order for Hudson Valley they are having a sale! I am getting a little bored of the Super Wild Green but how can you complain with a Mitra concentration like that to be reckoned with...

I am looking for something also energetic was thinking of trying some more "wilds"! Wild White, Wild Red Wild Yellow?

Anyone with a recommendation please thanks for your time!!!

I've used Garuda before, they are a just fine company. They do (or DID do, don't know how many really still do) COD which is huge for a person with no other way to pay. I've got some 2018 stuff from two orders including some black pearl extract (or something like that, it's black and apparently a red extract, but even since I got it, the amount of info online about it is really low. I have yet to find any real info.) Their Wild Red is always good.
