 Something must have changed in the app and we haven’t been able to include photos for some time. Would be nice to have that working again. 

@roadkill very interesting, thanks for posting! Looks like it’s useful to grow different varieties for different effects?

The west Kali plants that I hacked down are coming back. They are resilient.

@amhs_monkey try adding some diatomaceous earth to your spray, or just sprinkle it around the soil. Should help with scale and many other pests. 

lol I’m getting too old for 4/20 celebrations, but in honor of Earth Day (4/22) I’ve been outside working on my yard and Kratom plants. 

Also looking forward to the Summer Solstice which I’ll be celebrating at Kratomhenge.

They look great! Gonna be huge by the end of the summer. 

@roadkill

Hey Rk - have you lost any whole plants yet??

Congrats! Looks a lot like the clones that I took from a West Kalimantan seedling. 

I think most of the Kratom exported to the US is this variety. Mostly red vein with some green, but all coming from Borneo. Great to see more people growing them here.

Do you know what the humidity is where your plant is sitting?  Might want to see if you can raise it a bit. They’re not fans of cold or dry air. 

“How far back do you trim your trees?“

I did an aggressive trim on a couple of mine.

The AKA has no interest in transparency. They don’t want anyone to see how donations are really being spent. Here’s a recent article that describes AKA shadiness in more detail.
