I never use Red, only white and green so unsure if I can help you. Usually I avoid Kraatje, it's the lottery with 1 out of 20 chance of getting a decent batch. Lot of it is really low quality. However their pricier options are decent and much more reliable (Mountaing king, Premium edition green, Limited edition white)... but at this price you're better off buying wild kratom once it opens again SoonTM: for a similar price you'll get 5x better quality (completely objective statement of course).
