so happy to see all that new g

so happy to see all that new growth. Had some big rains come thru that have dumped water on us. 

seems like you are always getting trees too. Any idea how old this one is?

@roadkill lol yah literally got another 1 3 days ago. This is 3 years old I believe. It was flowering when I picked it up.

Ton of rain in north broward also. Any thoughts on how the rain affects the alkaloid content in leaves? I haven’t found much info on kratom specifically, but there seems to be a consensus that heavy rain reduces alkaloid content in other plants, and that a mild drought may increase levels. Maybe this accounts for the notion that Indo dry season leaf is superior to that of rainy season. 

When you harvest do you take anything like that into account? Time of day, time since last watering or feeeding, etc. I’m getting ready to do a small harvest and would appreciate any tips you or anyone else might have.
