Question about blending

Post by Antdub410 »

I have about 12 different TFH strains (mostly reds & greens, 100g of a gold & 100g of a white)... do you think it is a good idea to mix all the bags/strains I have in to one big ziplock bag?? What is your input on that.

Essentially, all kratom is a blend. All Indonesian vendors (and some stateside ;) ) start with base colors and go from there. Most of the Indonesian vendors don't use kratom, so it's really random what type of effects they are producing! I'm not sure if TFH would come out and say how his strains are made, but I have seen the word crafted used more than once. That leads me to believe that he adjusts strains based on feedback to make it better!

No, i would not do that with TFH. Very bad idea. His strains and batches all have their own signature feel to it. you would screw all that up. Do a cup mix of 2 or 5 blends and see how you like it, i dont think you will enjoy rainbow effect. Blends to me is making kratom effects weaker. Thats why i only blend 3 max, most times 2 blends if i mix something. And if i mix large amount, i better darm be sure i will enjoy that blend mix. And i will pick 2 best potent batches to mix. Unless you have one wayyy to strong and you want to cool it off with some weaker batch. then go for it. What makes you want to do one big blend of everything?

Lucky Herbals - I totally agree with you! I mixed three different strains (from TFH) in a small container and I definitely lost the good burn I had with the strains when I was using separately. I made a very small batch, and my husband still loves it. So I am thankful for that. I have blended before, but not with TFH. Never again!

And, btw, I was just going to sit down and make out an order with you and I see that you are not taking new customers! :? Nooooooooo! All the vendors I have wanted to order from (which is 3) have either gone to private or cancelled the event. I'm totally bummed! :cry:

No, don't mix simply because you can't undo it, Blended doses- yup. Blended bags- nope.

I appreciate y’all’s feedback ✊🏼 I’ll start a small bag & see how it hits, maybe 2 grams of each just to see the results & experiment. Just trying to educate myself on this KRATOM thing. Peace & blessings!

Here are my thoughts on blending after some experimentation. A blend of two different strains can be very very good. A blend of three strains can turn out pretty good but not usually. Any more than that and it's just a muddle.

I appreciate that! I’ll keep this in mind as I experiment myself

Hey Hippie, do you still have that (sleepytime) blend of reds you used to talk about?

Yeah I do but I tweaked it a little bit in the wrong direction somehow. It still works but not as good as it used to.

I never blend more than two. That's good company. There's a crowd.
