Who has the best Reds (other than TFH)

Post by Tree »

Title says it all. I've got loads of TFH reds but I'm starting to get overacquainted with the general profile of what I believe to be high 7-OHM that seems to be in almost every TFH product. I used to buy a lot of DG but it's too damn pricey nowadays. I used a couple of my old dg strains today and they were a great change of pace. TFH is amazing but most of their leaf comes from the same source IIRC.

I can't stand fermented or sun dried strains by the way. They never hit for me.

Liza’s is the go to for Reds. I also recommend denette615 who tags all his reds as fermented or not fermented and are also exceptional.

Gotta agree, although I haven't ordered from her in a while. But her reds were always just so consistent for me. I think I felt that SOSA might have been just a little bit better. But, then, last year I ordered the Nine-strain sampler from him and, honestly, couldn't detect much of a difference between any of them. I don't want to be cynical here, but if you are rushing orders, maybe just filling those 1oz packs with the same leaf is easier.
Sorry SOSA. Good luck

Hey Greyfeather, being that you've tried both SOSA and Liza's reds, are there any of Liza's that are similar in alkaloid makeup to Baik, Sunda, or Sumatra from SOSA that you can think of?

Hello!!

That's a bit difficult for me because I never had those strains from SOSA. I'm guessing they were slow, warm, with good pain relief? I have a few favorite from Liza that I would definitely describe that way: The Red Bali, Red Dayak, Red Pucuck, and (my special favorite) Red Thai. But I wouldn't be afraid to experiment a little; Many of her selections have reviews and I have found them to be pretty accurate. The only one of hers I didn't like was the Red Meang Da; it's quite fast and didn't do much for me pain-wise. Her shipping is super fast and she always sends an 'extra" :D . The last time I looked she was doing samples.

If you get something and like it, let me know ok?
I hope you are feeling well these days; always nice to hear from ya ;)

LOLOLOL yeah I guess that would be difficult huh? My bad, I shouldn't have assumed that. Thank you so much for the suggestions and the good wishes my friend. I'm doing pretty good here, hope you are as well. As far as the profile of those three, they are certainly slow and warm, with great pain relief, but there's something else going on with them that's difficult to describe, especially with the Baik Bali. There's been a couple of batches from TFH that have come very close to the same properties as those SOSA reds, like the R Elephant Kali, Deep Jungle MD, and Red Muna. I'll give your suggestions a try, plus I'll try a few others as well, and if I find some winners I'll for sure let you know. I just ordered a couple reds form MitraMan (Bali and Elephant), I'll give a report back once I try them out. Thanks again my friend, and please take care. \m/ \m/

Try Koality, Remi's kratom is legit and strong. I didn't get a complete burn from the Red sulawesi, but can feel the potential.

Right now if you pay for shipping, he will send you 100g, split 4 ways.
