FUSED FLORA- MULTI STRAINS

I purchased quite a few strains- it feels like Christmas!
I'm very new to Kratom and trying to learn as much as I can. I've only used Kats Botanicals and after joining this board, have made a few purchases with different companies. Delivery was lightning fast- ordered Sunday afternoon and it was here this morning.
My issues are more of mood/anxiety and sleep problems vs pain. I have a slipped disc in my lower back and occasional pain in my right rotator cuff since I has surgery two years ago. I take Wellbutrin daily for ADD and depression- COVID isolation was not kind to me and I have a very stressful job. I haven't used more than 2 tsp in a day- usually less as Im trying to be mindful not to overdo it. The strains of Kats I liked best were Super Thai, Chocolate and Above the Waves but I haven't really tried a strain more than once.
Here's my list - suggestions welcome regarding the different strains.
Super Green Borneo- I know this is for morning
Green Kapuas
White Kapuas
Gold Kapuas
Bentnangie Kapuas
Bent Sunda
Red Vietnam
Red Takengon
Steve also gave me two samples- Green Bali and Green Nanga. I took a 1/4 tsp tonight of Red Vietnam with chamomile tea and its very relaxing. I might take another 1/4 tsp just to see how it feels. I'll add to this review as I try the strains.

just an fyi, get a scale, it makes keeping track of doses, or even gauging how well a certain dose works for you, a lot easier.
Everyone starts out on the tsp route, because thats what google usually pops up saying lol (I had a friend tell me to do Tbsp doses lol please don't do that!)

Thanks- I use measuring spoons and not rounded either to avoid going over the line. I guess that's not a good idea. I have a small digital scale - will try that and see how it goes. I won't do tablespoons!:)

I liked Red Vietnam , it was soothing and I slept fairly well. A 1/4 tsp of Super Green Borneo went into my coffee this morning- nice! Uplifting and eye opening without jitters.

Gold Kapuas 1/2tsp at 8pm - slow but definitely relaxing with anti-anxiety effects. It didn't knock me out but I enjoyed it very much after a long day.

White Kapuas in coffee with creamer. Nice uplift and alertness without getting jittery. Not as strong as SGB, which is not a negative. Lasted over 2 hrs for me.

Love this whole strain of theirs. But Gold and yellow together is my favorite blend right now.

Does mixing the Gold and Yellow together help with sleep?

Kratom tends not to help too much with sleep with some rare extra fermented (brown/chocolate/extra bent) exceptions. It could help relax you enough to assist in falling also though. They just give me a great mellow, pain relieving, semi-euphoric mood together. Between the two I order the Yellow though.

Fuseds faster strains always worked well for me that green borneo and anything kapuas has always been good. His kapuas strains always seemed to be the best. The Bent KaPuAs was great too.

1. Im also fairly new to kratom, and am SUPER excited about it
2. Just recently joined the board, Kat’s Botanicals was also the first vendor I tried (after joining I also tried Botanical Bunny, loved it, gonna post a review)
3. I’m from VA, and love Its Always Sunny (who doesn’t)
Spoooooky! It’s time to decide where I should try next, and I’m gonna take this as a sign to check out Fused Flora.
You said you take kratom more for mood/anxiety? Again, me too! Any strain in particular you’ve liked best? From any vendor?

I went overboard buying from vendors like a kid in the proverbial candy store so I've been all over the place with my sampling. I'm keeping a journal now. I highly recommend Fused Flora - you can try a lot of quality at great prices. I put in an order and it was delivered in a day!
So far, I really like Gold Kapuas, Red Vietnam, Bent Sunda, Green Bali on the slower side. I veered off into other vendors before finishing what I bought from him and need to circle back. ( I've cultivated a mass of Kratom, haha) Super Green Borneo is like Adderall to me- if you need a kick in the pants to wake up, that's your strain. White Kapuas is nice in the morning and not as stimulating. I have so much more to try!
I have products from MitraMan,Bennis Botanicals, Smiley Time, Liza in addition to my remaining Kats. I recommend sticking to sample sizes for now. Getting ready to try Texas Family Harvest next. When you have enough posts, join the Trading Post! There's a wealth of info here -and temptation for stockpiling.

You can get kratom to help you sleep. I do. But not with yellow. If your yellow feels sedating then use low amount with white and / or faster greens for daytime use.
The slow yellow added as a pinch will gift you reduced perception of effort. and comfort. Everything varies between batches the way people do so figuring things out, risk management and mastery - it's all on you, which is a gift actually.
Mostly reds is the way for sleep. Some will prevent it. (Create a digital journal you can cross reference with keywords)
I use several reds at once, avoiding my day reds which are used sparingly daytime. This comes after you're renting space just for your collection- I'm half kidding . I like to use others- greens and a little gold to slow down the descent so I can enjoy it and wrap things up. Some strong reds can have cumulative side effect so be mindful. Like memory loss. Sounds terrible but it's mild and completely in your hands. Pay attention and take notes. This is one reason I use multipe kinds - I no longer use enough of that one to cause a problem but I also make use of it, getting other unique benefits when appropriate.
Some golds can feel sedating but usually not enough. I prefer faster golds. They exist but slower ones go well mixed in for, like you mention- anxiety.
On that note- the reason for sleep trouble factors in. This all gets you thinking deeper about some things.
. It's trial and error.
