Giving KOG another shot....

Post by acejestyr15 »

So as some of the "senior" members here may know that i have seemed to have an issue with KOG strains no matter what type. I order what I recall to be like a 9 or 10ounce sampler last year and literally none of my selections did much of anything for me whether immediately or after shelving for awhile and trying again later. All good, I can totally understand some leaf just not being for me, NBD!! BUT! Since then, I have read many astounding reviews and seen numerous new and unique strains added to their already huge selection......

Fast forward and here I am 1 year later trying to give another fair shot when I can get my hands on specific strains I've been enticed by. Last month maybe even 2 months ago I snagged an ounce of KOG Green Melawi from one of the beloved fire batches and honestly yet again was not impressed..... Not a total did as before but not impressed either. Okay still NBD, keep trying, and decided to shoot for more Red Veins as they are usually my go-to and my first love anyways hahaha. This week I received KOG Dark Elephant from the July batch as part of a sampler also but gambled and doubled that strain for a 50g bag and I'm extremely happy I did!!!!! This is one of the hardest hitting, most sedating, warming, pain numbing, and euphoric strain I have ever tried no less right off the bat with first dosing :mrgreen: The main reason I was interested in this strain was due to the love that I've found for Soultanic's Dark Elephant that lots of us recently missed out on yet again, but now I don't even care. My sorrow of missing out has been washed away and my hope for enjoying KOG strains has been restored!!!!

Long story short/moral of it all is don't give up of reputable respected vendors due to a few strain not hitting as expected/hoped for. Keep trying, and certainly don't bash said vendor in that scenario either. I did leave reviews at the time with honest opinion but also stated it's simply my chemistry and not a testament to KOG's quality nor service either. Harry and Madison are very helpful and friendly, just a bit overwhelmed most times it seems but there's worse that could happen, right?!

Ever tried DE from KOG herbalhippie????

I know you're a red fan as well but I kinda thought more mid-slow to mid spec daytime type reds. If you're in the market for a super serious bedtime burner I'd say go for the Dark Elephant for sure..... To me so far its very similar to Soul's DE but this may actually be stronger/more potent. Although, I have not had the most recent batch of Soul DE to be fair, I've only had June and or July batches of I remember correctly
It's getting harder and harder to keep track of all the standouts lately, for real!!!

I have not tried it but I am in the market for another super sedating strain to add to my bedtime blend.

Is it the one that's in stock right now?

This Is Awesome! ACE!

Makes me smile :mrgreen:

So glad you got some of that DE and yes it is a very very good strain/ batch.
DE of KOG wasn’t sedating (for me) last I recall but it is very comforting!
