TFH

[nerdy ninja]

Just wanted to share my experience with y’all after seeing quite a few people post that the TFH strains don’t work for them. I’ll start by saying I was a long 7-8 gram dose guy till I discovered the light and found the magic in the less is more doses. Nowadays I’m usually a 2.5-3.3 person depending on the strain.

I recently picked up some of the 30 year wild super Green in the open sale and first time I tried my usual 2.5 and didn’t get much out of it. Dropped it to 2.0 next burn and still very meh. Today I dropped it down to just 1 gram and wow. When folks swear that TFH leaf only needs to be a gram or two at most please listen or you could be missing out on some great leaf!

Thanks so much for sharing this, but I hear this all the time from our customers... I have no idea what is at play there. If anyone has some theories, I would love to hear them!

Mentally I have a hard time dropping my dose that low. But your experience may lead me to try to reduce again - specially now that I have so much TFH to try out!

[skimthegrotto]

Hmm, i got that batch too, tomorrow I'll try 1g. I'm w/ BobDylandKratom on this one, mentally will be hard to drop to 1g. It was so so at 3g.

A sip usually tastes better than a gulp.

I need to take a T-break and drop my dose down. Messed up my tolerance early on with some bunk kratom. I take 5-6 grams a dose 3 times a day. I have a three day weekend coming up on a couple weeks and I'm going to get to using 1-3 grams a dose. Of course if they lock us down before then I'll be able to do that quicker.

A popular method is dropping .5 a gram per serving every 3 days. Doesn't get any more simple

You can only do it after a nice tolerance break. No matter how many times you drop, you will not like the results or keep doing it for a week and not care for results, it will catch up to the point where you start feeling it.. Unless you dose once or twice a day and a nice cap break until morning, then try it in the morning, its the best time to do it on a empty stomach. Also Mentally its also hard to start low after a tolerance break... But please give it a try, half the dose after a break and see the results. I made mistakes before with regular large dose before and it gave me wobbles and i didn't enjoy it much.

Me personally i rather keep kratom going strong since covid 19 is active. I plan to use it everyday around 8-10 grams per day. I noticed not once i coughed and i am afraid to stop kratom at this point since i know its helping a lot from crappy random flu's. plus i still work 10 thousand people job and see people cough and having sniffs. There is no way i am doing less, i am happy currently at 8 or 10 grams per day. I also add vitamin c everyday to make sure nothing will bother me. Once summer hits i ll reduce and do less. I just think its a very good idea to increase at this time to boost your immune. And i get no wobbles from 4 or 6 gram per dose so i am good.

I concur, sir. Although may i add one thing....raw honey, specifically Manuka honey with an umf rating of 10+ or higher. I eat i tablespoon a day, its an antioxident, anti inflamatory, immune boosting super food.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try that out. If anything that will make my T-break that much easier in a couple weeks.

Agreed that most TFH leaf is best at 1-2 gram servings (1.5-1.7g in most of Gumby's strains is ideal for me). Also, I find that keeping consistent at that dose also really helps to prevent tolerance and some of the negative side effects from taking kratom.

So what are some good strains from TFH? I am about to place an order. Am I better off just getting his "premium strains (100g bags)" ? I usually take 3 teaspoons each dose (so around 7grams + or -) .... What are some of their best strains right now? Doing the "less is more" usually doesn't work for me. I just want some good stuff.

Hey, this is Chris from TFH. I try to shy away from giving direct recommendations on the forum because I would rather the community speak for our product. However, I wanted to clear something up in that our 100g only batches are not "premium" - they are just batches where all we have left are 100g bags (meaning the bulk of it has sold out). I dont think its a good practice to charge more for "better batches". With that, we would never limit the available quantity of a batch based on its quality or popularity. The 100g only designation is just a function of our inventory management system (I will spare you the boring details of how that works).

It's important to note that nothing makes our menu unless it is scored high in consumer testing. The result of this is that every item on our menu has scored within a similarly narrow range... there are rarely any batches that stand clear out above the rest. There are batches that become "hot sellers", but that is primarily because somebody left a great review and the crowds rushed to buy it. We always have hidden gems... I get emails daily from people saying "wow - that <blank> is amazing... how come nobody is talking about it?"

Really at that point, it is more about being able to dial in on what matches your personal chemistry (which is why survey submissions play an important role in our ability to best serve you better in the future). I think you will see a common thread in all of the review posts is that everybody seems to have a different favorite.

I hope that helps clear things up

I've found that kratom is rather strange and counter-intuitive concerning dosage. There are some strains that work best at lower doses but not at higher ones, and others that work at lower and higher doses, and some that only work at high doses but not low ones. It's damn confusing, and weird to say the least lol. I think it's just wise practice to try and keep the amounts low whenever possible, and less problems arise as a result. Now, do I always practice that plan of action? I'm afraid not lol, but most of the time I'm successful. Thanks for the heads up by the way, I should be getting my first TFH shipment in a few days, and I'll be sure to start out on the lowest end of the spectrum.

Thanks for the advice. Ill Try this "less is more" approach sometime soon. I'm a 5g a burn guy, i'll bump it down to 2g and see whats up. I have quite a few TFH strains. Probably try the low dose on the 30yr wild white first.

We all tend to vary when it comes to this, but I've occasionally come across leaf in the past that only required 0.2g - 0.3g to feel a light mood boost. Blew my mind.

Hi, been getting great advice from you guys for a long time, but very rarely comment. But I wanted to jump in on this. I recently started to take more (4-5g)than my usual (which has stayed at 3g since starting)and also feeling the need to dose more often (3x a day). I know it's quality kratom cause they're all vendors I've found through the wonderful people here and at ILK. So I gave the less is more approach a shot. Holy cow! Taking 2-3g has made a huge difference in potency! On top of that, I don't feel like taking it more often anymore! That's been working for me for over a week. All different vendors as well. I'm still able to feel my last one I took around 330 here, its 710 and I'm still very comfortable. That was my second dose of the day. Such a strange little plant but it totally worked for me! I thought I was gonna have to take a break ect. Nope, just overdoing it. I hope that it helps you guys too. Also, thank all of you for all your help figuring out this leaf. You all made it so much easier and far less expensive than it would've been. nice to have such a friendly helpful community to turn to.

I've found similar results with gold strains. I think it might have something to do with serotonin. Many drugs that release serotonin cause a serotonin-syndrome like effect in higher doses, that's really disphoric, even if they are normally sedatives.
