Your trees look nice  . I can't wait for mine to flower and produce pods. Then spread the seeds on my buddies ranches where there's water all year long in some of the lower spots.
How hard is Kratom wood? I don't see it being hard like Mesquite or oak. Maybe pecan/Hackberry? If my trees die back to stumps I want to make walking sticks out of the wood if it's hard enough. If not I'll run it through the wood chipper and use it as mulch.
Here's a bumble bee that was frozen back to a short stump last winter and woke up in March. The white bucket hanging on a branch holds a little over a gallon. It was a lot bigger around but I took hundreds of clones off it to distribute it far and wide for cheap.

Krstom wood is not that hard. Some branches on my bumvle bee have split. Maybe too much water i dont know but it seems weak.

Heres my progress so far. I've upgraded my conditions for these guys I think. Hopefully they go the distance and I can give them a good home. I love this tree/plant! I hope the govt gives this one a fair shake. Unlike cannabis..

Sad to say, but no Snakeye. I treated it like a regular house plant not knowing these things need different conditions.
I've learned more about them and upgraded my equipment since then. I'll keep trying till I get it right! I love this plant.

It could modify the alkaloid profile. There is one "strain" called Bentuangie which is made by heap-fermenting the leaves. It has a really different taste and seemed to be more sedating but less euphoric when I had some.
Edit: here's a little update on my Daun Jambu seedlings, gonna need to separate them soon.

Wrll they are not grow lights. They are lights from drilling rigs. Bright white. Not very big but pretty heavy. Explosion proof.

Oh i see
And about how hard the kratom wood is, i just finished watching a Indonesian documentary about kratom, and some elder chief or something talked about how they use the wood as some sort of equipment to build houses Here's the documentary at around 12:10 min he speaks about this.

What do you guys think could be messing up my kratoms? Some of the leaf damage looks like it could be from the squirrels (theyve been digging in the pots too), but there is an overall leaf discoloration that looks symptomatic of something. Might it be just the dropping temps?

Temp i'd say. the edges of my leafs been acting sun burnt and it's the temp change.

Really cool to see some Daun Jambu's MG : O
Need to make some space and will then sow some elephant seedlings..
I wonder with my means if i will actually even see the difference in leaf size let alone get anywhere close to the real potential...
i should really trade these elephants for some daun jambu's for that matter, i'm an idiot
my others, e.g. some green malays, are probably the fastest growing plants i have at home haha.. what I'm trying is pruning a basic Y shape in the plants (i guess i realize now the sooner the better) so that i can harvest and prune all the way back on one side and let the other side grow and alternate. My cabinet only allows for smaller plants and it's not ideal to have to prune back a main stem.

How is it handling the European climate brother?
Oh wait i just checked Netherlands average humidity and it seems so good man like over 80% over all the months.
Better than what we have here in this desert (between 60-80%) 
I just received my first plant ever, and according to the guy it should be a pink Indo which seems interesting, hope it likes it here
