Strain choice help for a medical user

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by mystery?, Jun 7, 2020.

  1. Hey,

    I hope this is the right section of the forum to ask this!

    I've done some research and also managed to speak to a few knowledgeable people who dropped suggestions but haven't been able to follow up with further advice. I had a huge list and this has now been whittled down. This is to help with nerve and muscle pain. I use a wheelchair and sitting all day with a muscular issue has led to some real chronic pain issues. I've been given gabapentin but it isn't doing much. Years ago, I used to smoke weed a bit and it helped so much with the pain, i'd like to try and grow some now to control my pain even a few days per week.

    My grow is small so probably 2 plants will be max (grow size roughly 70cm deep x 100cm wide x 200cm high.

    The strains I've been heavily suggested are:

    Ace seeds: Zamaldelica.
    Great for mood, extremely highly rated as a suggestion

    De Sjamaan: Peace Maker
    Great for pain rated fairly well from the person who suggested it

    Fast buds: green crack
    Good for mood - meant to be a very good strain?

    Experts Seeds: Critical Lights
    Very highly recommended, good for stress and anxiety

    Sweet seeds: Sweet Cheese F1 Fast Version
    very very highly recommended

    Greenhouse seeds :super silver haze
    Good medical choice not sure how it compares to the others on the list though

    Dinafem: moby dick #2
    Really highly recommended and suggested this should be a top choice for medical issues

    Nirvana: Kaya gold
    Great yield, good for newbies, overall a very good choice

    I'm leaning towards the moby dick #2 and kaya gold as the kaya is meant to be good for newbies, and the moby dick is so highly rated medically.

    Any advice would be great.

    Thanks so much
     
  2. Hi! Its great to here this. I am on gabapentin and muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatories daily Plus I have a medical marijuana card here in Illinois. You need a little CBD but not too much. When growing any strain you can produce CBD. During the last stages of flowering you allow the crystals to turn Amber about 30% of the plant. Just remember milky means high THC Amber means High CBD. The longer you wait to harvest the more CBD you will get. One of my images you will notice the milky look im talking about. I am a huge Autoflower fan. You get the SAME quality (auto are not what the used to be) but in a little over 2 months instead of 4 to 5. All so you don't have to worry about light schedule and they are very resilient to mold and mess ups on feeding. Don't hesitate to check out organic Autos make good sense thread. Ps one of my autos will yield over a pound greenhouse grow. It is directly in the ground

  6. If Cannabis works for your particular pain it likely won't matter what strain it is.
    It's all about the THC for me. CBD doesn't do shit for my issue.
    Gabapentin = Water... Useless crap.
    Aspirin does way more then that crap does.

    Hallucinating Hash Capsules for Hemp Heads

    This edible oil can be made from any form of Cannabis from Buds to Hash to Wax.
    Very effective for all day pain relief. 1 capsule every 24 hours keeps me amazingly pain free.

    3 rounds of Colon surgery left me in considerable pain at the incision site.
    Feels like I'm being skewered for a BBQ.

  7. I grow only autos, and seek out those that are good for sleep.
    For me there is a significant difference between sativas and indicas.
    Most indicas help with my sleep, and a few do it very well.
    Sativas work to a certain extent, but sleep is shorter, less restful, and less satisfying.

    Autos Bubba Kush, Northern Lights, and almost any strong indica from mephisto work well for me.

  9. Thank you so much, I will look at making them! I hope things go well with you.

    is that bubba kush and northern lights from mephisto?

    What seedbanks are you using for gsc, granddy purple etc?

    Thanks again everyone
     
  10. I was on gabapentin when I started smoking pot again after 30 years of no. All cannabis, any strain is going to help with your problem. I threw a whole bottle of gabapentin in the trash once I got my closet grow. The challenge is growing it. I am an auto evangelist, so I always recommend autos for many reasons. The one that got me off alcohol was a Photo called Godbud, but the one that got me off gabapentin was Dutch Passion auto mazar, and that is an easy grower any beginner can grow. It is short and good all around pain killer. You still feel the pain, but it does not register in your mind as unpleasant. Strains come and go, but consider growing autos. You keep them all under the same long light schedule, so you can plant a new seed anytime and stagger your harvest.

  11. The BubbaKush auto I've grown is from Dinafem, but any good breeder should have a good version of it.
    Mephisto (autos only and closed for a few days) doesn't have that specific strain, but they do have lots of good sleepy strains.
    These are good ones from them I've tried:
    24 Carat
    Strawberry Nuggets
    Creme de la Chem
    Skywalker
    Ripley's OG
    White Crack
    Other mephisto growers report that these are strong indicas:
    Sour Crack
    Toof Decay
    Sour Livers
     
  12. From some further research I've settled on these 2 with an additional third being added if I have space!

    Green crack by fast buds
    Autocolorado cookies by dutch passion

    and if I can add in a cbd heavy plant, I'll possibly go for Auto Bubble Gum by 00 Seeds

    This seems to cover me with sativa, indica and high cbd.

    Does anyone have experience with these strains?
