Flowering Kratom
I didn’t think it was even legal there. Would love to try some hydro leaf, is the bar in the Tampa/St Pete area?
Had a brief chat with Shaun from Fused Flora.
He's tried around 30 different batches/suppliers. He said Hirsuta has a low ceiling and is very hard to get dialed in. It’s also very course so you should use a scale. Hard to say what amount is best for you, but he takes 3.5 grams, gets wobbles at 3.8 grams, and no effects at 3 grams. It’s a very small window.
Thanks for posting about this. I’ve been seeing more and more people talking about hirsuta recently, many complaining about issues after taking too much. Hopefully this helps others avoid what you went through.
And please get a scale, there’s really no way of knowing how much you’re taking without one. Even plain kratom powder varies in density, especially with the new nano grinds becoming popular. Amazon has a bunch around $10.
I had recommended him. If the hirsuta is from Shaun it’s very likely good quality, and probably a dosing issue. Have you reached out to him?
Couple of blog posts from Magick powers potions debunking the theory that young trees don’t have mitra (warning their site is annoyingly slow).

I do think that a hydro grower could grow quality Kratom, but I question whether they could provide quantity.
Hope it’s not contaminated, and that it’s actually hirsuta as opposed to a Kratom blend or something else. Did it taste different? I’ve heard hirsuta tastes worse than kratom. If it was me I’d ditch it and contact the vendor.
A few people in a MeWe Kratom group were discussing Hirsuta earlier today. Consensus was that it’s easier to get the wobbles from it. Most seemed to take either their normal dose size or a bit less.
Are you making tea with it?
