Dosage of Green vs Red?

Post by livi2fly »

I've been wondering if anyone else is like me and has to use a higher dose with red strains vs green/white. I always figured it might just be my body chemistry but figured I'd get some feedback. It's not a huge difference in the size of the dose but for some reason reds just don't do it for me like green.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Same for me. I usually dose around 4 to 6 grams of green or white and get good results. For reds i dose 6 to 8. Occasionally (very rarely actually), a 5 gram dose of a good red will render me couch-bound, but most of the time it takes more of the reds for my desired effect. One thing that’s worked really well for me for the last few days is taking a smaller kicker dose around an hour or hour and a half after a red dose. Today i took 5 grams of Smiley’s Red Aceh around 5:00 and then a smaller kicker of Mystic’s Poseidon’s Trident around 6:45. The results were pretty amazing. The kicker had twice the strength of the first dose. Did the same thing yesterday with a red blend and then a Mystic Mermaid kicker a little later. I’ve been trying to figure out the key to reds for quite some time now. I get very consistent results with greens and whites (and yellows/golds), but the reds are a lot more puzzling. Sometimes i can take a dose of a very good red and barely feel a thing (besides sedation) - and other times it hits me just right and I’d swear it’s the best burn I’ve ever had.

Same with me. I can get a good burn with 1-2g of white/green but takes me 3-5g of reds.
