Favorite Strains of 2020

[Loveandpeace]

This seemed like the right time to resurrect this post...

This post is from last year...
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4236&hilit=favorite+strains+2019

I owe quite a bit to this forum. This year has been a torrent of information and education. Without all of you lovely individuals, I would still be wading in a pool of poorly designed websites, shilled reviews and bags of the bunkiest. I enjoy this bastion of good faith and generous offerings. This place provides me a little corner of my own in a community unlike any other I have known.

Thank you doublem.

TFH: Jade Hulu
LoneStar MitraSource: True Yellow, Wild Stem and Vein
Bennis Botanicals: Green Jong Kong, Bent
Fused Flora: Gold MD, Red Aceh

Leaf discovered through The Trading Post (possibly this year, probably not)

Sosa: Red MD, White Bali, Green Sumatra

Rhino: Bali Gold, SGM
Luckys: Green Hulu
LOE: Wild Fire Red

...and more, now that I have busted out the dose sheet.

A question to the more experienced. Does this seem like a good first year of burn? My very first order was Kraken (def enough fire to keep me interested) and could never go back. Did I blow my load too quick?! Is it all downhill from here?

I could keep going lol. A lot of great leaf this year, and the only reason I found it was because of all of you. Thanks Double M!!

[Supersonic75]

In order of vendor consistency (or close to it). There were other varieties that I liked from all of them, but these were my favorites. And while TFH is definitely my fave, all of these vendors provided great customer service, were a pleasure to deal with, and had great leaf:

1. TFH: Wild Harvest White Indo, Wild Green Kampung, Jungle Green Hulu, Red Ryder Riau, Sapphire Samarinda, Yellow Borneo, Classic White MD, Rocket Red, Old School Green Bali, Green Elephant Kali, 30 Year Wild White, 30 Year Wild SG, Green Hangat VSOP

2. MitraMan: Green Thai, White JK, White Elephant, Super Green

3. Rhino: Great White, MD Supreme, Green Borneo.

4. Lucky's: Green MD, White Thai.

5. Botanical Bunny: White Dayak, White MD JK.

6. Smiley: White Banjo.

I started using Kratom around two years ago. I would have never known about any of the above vendors (and in many cases, strains/batches) if it were not for MM. It helped a very difficult year to be not so difficult on many levels. Thanks to everyone; it's a lot of fun here, and really useful too. Happy New Year!

white vein give me good mood

[onespeedstop]

This is a tough question, really hard to choose. I'll go with Dennette's 'bali strong'. I've tried about 10 different reds in my 3 or so years of kratom, and this is strongest one I've ever had, lives up to it's name.

Honorable mentions = all the awesome greens from practically every vendor. I don't think I got a bad green in 2020. In fact the 'weakest' one was 'emerald hulu' or 'emerald something' from TFH, and it was still just about as good as any greens I got in 2019. 2020 was the year of the green strain in my book ha-ha.

[WeAllFloatHere7]

For me it was

Lucky-Green Hulu, Green MD, Wild Red Sumatra
Smiley-OG Red Keta, PMD, Super Green Malay
Mitraman-Red Horn, Super Green, Green Batak
Benni-Red Malay, Yellow Lida, Super Green
Fused Flora-White Kap Yellow Kap, Super Green Borneo
Denette-Red MD, Green Bone

There was a LOT of good ones this year, but these were the ones that came to my mind immediately. Almost everything I had from all of the vendors I listed was top notch though. I have to agree with a poster above, this was the year of the greens for me. It seemed like greens really did it for me more this year than previous years. I could list so much more, but I tried to keep it to 2-3 per vendor and only top 6 vendors (was going to do top 5 and remembered a bag of the red MD from denette that I had a few months back and had to add him in the mix).
