Garuda review

Post by Luk3 »

I won the July 4th giveaway from Garuda. It was my first time ordering from them.I found they have quality on par with other small batch vendors we all use.
I have tried these a couple times now. Sometimes it takes me a while to become more familiar with leaf, but I feel I have a decent handle on 2 of the 4 varieties ordered.
All of these have a similar fine grind and a nice color with a fresh smell. Except the red Bali, it smells like a bent and is one of the more red powders I have seen.
Packaging is gold stand up bags with professional looking labels. Weights were all above 250g.

Super MD: this is awesome leaf. This leaf felt closer to mid spec than high energy. It has great potency and good legs though. This was definitely my favorite of the bunch! 8.5/10

Super green: I need more time with this one but for now it feels like a good fast leaning green with good potency and legs. Definitely worth picking up this and the super MD. 7.5/10

Wild white: still trying to get a feel for this one. Will try to update later. Seems like a mid-high white.

Red Bali: this is a more benty Bali than the ones that I love from other vendors. That being said, this one seems like a decent red, but I need to give it more time before I review.

I will try to remember to update once I feel I can give a fair review to the others. :)

I can’t get an honest assessment on the Super MD. At first I liked it, then I wasn’t thrilled, now I like it again. I think my tolerance is screwed.

It isn’t as potent as Smiley. That I know.

I have also had issues with smileys PMD, lol. Leaf is so hard to judge, my favorites change frequently. I only recently started getting good results from smileys fire bota and PMD batches. I’m glad I didn’t trade them, as they are awesome now. But if you had asked me a couple months ago I would have said I know they are fire from all the reviews, but they don’t work for me. It’s a strange plant.

Trully, Hudson Valley Botanicals (GARUDA) is an amazing vendor. Indeed, their Super MD is out of this world. The Green Wild is AMAZING, but what blew me mind completely is their Green OV, Industrial Oven Dried Kratom, the best of the best, should've gotten more if it myself....

I really like the super green. Need some more experience with it to post an in-depth review, but from the few times I’ve taken it, I’m really enjoying it. Nice relaxing, long lasting green that isn’t sedating. Great for watching movies or playing video games - you know, those moments when you just want to sit back, relax, and feel good. Will definitely be trying more of Garuda in the future.
