kratom potentiators, how to boost and speed up effects
https://leafoflifekratom.com/k...https://leafoflifekratom.com/kratom-potentiators-how-to-boost-and-speed-up-effects/
Sometimes you need to get your kratom to start working faster and more powerfully. One way to do this is to use potentiators.
Merriam-Webster defines “potentiate” as: “to make effective or active or more effective or more active; to augment the activity of (something, such as a drug) synergistically.”
So potentiators cause kratom to be activated more quickly and more strongly in your system. They may also cause kratom’s effects to persist in your body for a longer period of time. You’ll also save money because by using potentiators, you won’t need to use so much kratom, you won’t need to increase the amount or frequency of doses. This will prevent you from developing a tolerance.
What are some kratom potentiators?
ONE: Exercise, walking, moving around. By getting your body in motion, rather than sitting or lying around, kratom starts circulating faster and the effects are experienced sooner.
TWO: Grapefruit juice. Many experts agree that the best substance to potentiate kratom in your body is grapefruit juice. The citric acid breaks down the kratom alkaloids, in a digestive enhancement manner.
THREE: Chamomile tea. This is especially good for red vein kratom, which is used for relaxation, something that chamomile herb is ideal for. But you may not want to use chamomile tea when taking green or white vein kratom, since it might counteract their energizing effects.
FOUR: Turmeric. One of the most powerful of the natural herbs, turmeric can enhance kratom in your system. It’s found as a spice on its own and is also found in curry.
FIVE: Cayenne pepper. Hot chili peppers speed up your metabolism, so they are great potentiators of kratom, getting your system to kick into gear faster and process the kratom alkaloids more efficiently.
SIX: Cat’s Claw. This herb contains alkaloids that are similar to kratom, so taking it with kratom will boost the effects you’re seeking and may cause these effects to last longer.
SEVEN: Akuamma seed. When crushed, these seeds can spike the effects of kratom, but may not increase how long they last.
EIGHT: Magnesium. This substance can potentiate kratom, but it’s generally considered best to simply increase your intake of magnesium-containing foods. Magnesium supplements can be risky for some individuals and can cause rather serious health problems.
NINE: Empty stomach. You may want to eat a little bit before taking your kratom dose, but a full stomach is going to cause kratom to compete with all the other contents that you’ve eaten, which will slow down its absorption.
TEN: Coffee. If you seek energizing effects from kratom, drinking some coffee along with your kratom dose will help you achieve the productivity and enhanced activity you need. Coffee also contains some magnesium.
ELEVEN: Orange juice. The citric acid works like it does in grapefruit juice.
TWELVE: Lemonade. Again, the acidic nature of lemons will cause kratom to be assimilated into your system faster and with enhanced effects.
Benefits of Natural Substances as Kratom Potentiators:
Main benefit = When you add natural potentiators to your dose of kratom, there’s no need to worry about possible negative side effects. You can’t overdose on these substances or abuse them. Plus…
- They’re inexpensive.
- You can find them easily in any grocery store or health food provider.
- No doctor’s prescription is necessary.
- No need to worry about “mixing drugs” in a dangerous combination, since these potentiators are foods or drinks that are not generally considered to be medical preparations or drugs.
Do your own experiments with these natural potentiators of kratom. What works great for one person may not be quite as effective for another individual. One potentiator might be preferred over another. Whatever you try, you can be confident that you’ll arrive at a potentiator you really love and you’ll be able to use it every time you take kratom.

As cold approaches
For those that have their Kratom planted, what precautions are you taking as a cold approaches and at what temperature do you start doing something? For me temperatures are predicted to hit 40 late in the night. I know others that are farther north than I am that are projected to hit 34 degrees by 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
Article
One thing you need to keep in mind when trying new strains is that everyone is different. For instance, a friend could rave about Green Malay and it just doesn’t have the same effects for you. Below is an article on our website that may shine a little light and set your mind at easy if you are struggling finding what strain is right for you. 
Repotting the October 1st clones.
These 7 week old clones are in need of pots of their own.
They are growing new leaves, which is usually indicative of roots beneath the soil level. Also, they haven't died or wilted, which is a good sign too.
They'll each get their own 6" pot... which coincidentally seals well to a gallon freezer bag.
...and it's off to a warm corner of the greenhouse to grow big. Once roots appear growing out of the drainage holes of the pots, I'll remove the plastic bags. They should be able to stay hydrated and they shouldn't lose to much water through transpiration by then. Grow Kratom, Grow!

Legislative News
This is new, released as true per optiglitch at DISCORD:
1) There will be federal legislation filed in the next session of the Congress that will call for the lifting of the FDA Import Alert on kratom; direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to increase funding for kratom research; and require the FDA to issue manufacturing standards mirroring the Kratom Consumer Protection Act that has already passed in 4 states.
2) The AKA Board just approved an unprecedented lobby effort to support the introduction of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act in 21 states in 2020.
Additionally, there is tension in Indonesia as multiple government agencies are issuing “crop change” plans while other governmental agencies over there are signing agreements to secure exports, so STAY TUNED and DON’T PANIC as this is not entirely new but is more widely known.
Fungus Among Us
I don't know why I'm having such difficulty with these lovely plants. Every time I turn around I have new battle to deal with. This is showing up on both of my one-year-old kratoms I just planted. I'm hitting them with neem oil but it doesn't seem to be having an effect on it. Suggestions.
Anybody else use this? Trace elements, and vitamin B1, to fortify and encourage root development.
Has anyone else used this "Pennington Ultragreen Plant Starter (with B1)" to encourage rapid and strong root development? It contains vitamin B1 and chelated trace elements iron, manganese, and zinc, which are essential for healthy root development in clone cuttings. A little goes a long way. I've been able to pot clones after 3 weeks with healthy root systems established. I prepare 1 ounce per gallon of water and then water the cloning rooting media (2 parts container mix: 1 part perlite), and then I squeeze out as much water as I can before using to root the cuttings. Don't forget the IBA rooting hormone dip.
These young clones are thriving by the rosemary cuttings, which btw are only a month old themselves.

Question from a customer about kratom vein colors
Question from a customer about kratom vein colors
Hello,
I see that the four vein colours of your cuttings and plants are priced slightly differently. What is the reason for this? I saw on your blog a video showing the normal variations in vein colour on one plant, and I have read elsewhere that vein colour is mostly unimportant. Do these vein colours refer to specific varieties? I have heard common varieties historically on the market are Rifat, Bumblebee, Red Vein Thai and Pink Indo/Elephant/something
Besides this, I am curious: does your co-op grow M. hirsuta (or other species) as well as M. speciosa?
Thank you very much for your time. It seems you are all doing very good work down there and i can’t wait to see how your farms do in the future.. I absolutely love all of the close up and clear videos and pictures you post showing the trees blowing around.
My Response:
The color of a kratom vein are determined by the content of mytrogynan (alkaloids) in the vein. The purpose of producing mytrogynan is to protect the tree from insects and animals from eating the leaf. Its also a stress mechanism. The mytrogynan is why the leaf is so bitter and correlates to strength. Strength also correlates to how mature the leaf is. The more mature the leaf the stronger it will be. When mature leaves mature the alkaloids are sucked back into the tree thru the veins. These leaves will look more yellow. https://kratomwatchdog.com/top...
)
The more alkaloids in the vein. The more red the vein will be. Purple at the high end of alkaloids. White at the low end of alkaloids. It is possible to see all vein colors grow at the same time on the same tree. (pink,red, purple) more near the bottom as that is where they have roots as that’s where most of the nutrients are. Up the tree will be more (greens and whites). They start getting more color variation the larger they get. https://kratomwatchdog.com/top...
In winter you see mostly white and green with some red.
Spring, mostly green, white, some red, with pink starting to show up.
In summer, Seed pod are poping up, you see green, white, pink, red, purple.
This continues to happens thru Fall.
Should note seed pods are best to pick off the tree in Jan - April. Kratom Vein colors usually have its darkest vein color at the exterior of the plant. Getting lighter as you go inward. But is harder to see in summer - fall as all colors are on the tree.
The difference in price is due to the availability of whats on the trees at the time.
The term pink vein and red vein is also related to a strain of kratom. I have pink vein, green vein rifat, bumble, and red rifat trees. But there are no noticable difference between strains from what I have seen.
Here are some pictures below to show vein colors of leaves.
I do have M. hirsuta. Here is my tree.
Thanks

#KRATOMAPP Developer
Received my first order and just wanted to say..
Thank you. I ordered 30 fresh leaves and am very happy with what came in the mail. A few extra were thrown in either accidentally or to make up for some smaller ones in the batch but regardless more than happy. As someone who eats / makes tea with approximately 5-10g per dose approximately 4-5 leaves chewed the traditional way (vein removed and tucked in cheek) has been enough to equal this. Taste is a lot better fresh too. This is what to expect as far as size.
Thanks again
Question
Hey guys! I'm new to this app and so far this seems like a great place to get tons of info on this wonderful plant! Anyway I recently just ordered 3KG from an Indonesian vendor. It just cleared customs yesterday so I should have it by Monday or Tuesday. My question is should I have any concerns in regards to the leaf not being lab tested? Also can people I'm friends with on Facebook see my posts in this app or would the have to be in this app to see it?
