Ok, First off let me say, I have not smoked a Strain yet that I know the name of it, I am nearly 50 and all of my smoking was done back in my teen years when dealers just sold “Weed” you didnt know the terps, you didnt know the THC, or the name. Very Rarely, would they know a name, and Many of those names are on my “Dream Auto List” things like Colombian gold or Colombian red dot or Acapulco gold or Thai Stick. I thought about it, and I think I am going about my selection wrong, mostly because of nostalgia and not for any real reason that is the strain I need.
So, I figured maybe I should lay out what I am looking for the strain to do, what I want the strain to avoid doing, and ask for suggestions on modern strains that might fit the bill instead of living in the nostalgia of the past. Plus some other questions as well.
So here goes, First off,I have ADHD and Fibromyalagia(Chronic pain conditon, I am at a 7 on the pain scale most days).
What I am looking for, is a modern strain that can help with both my adhd and my pain.
What I dont want, A strain that will put me on couch lock and make me non-functional. The last joint I smoked, no idea what it was, But I shit you not, I stared at the wall for what I thought was 30 seconds, and when I looked at the clock, 3.5 hours had passed, It literally made me BRAIN DEAD and shut my brain off. I do NOT want this effect. I have to be able to function.
My Preference is Autos fems. I really dont want to waste time, and money growing out a plant only to find out its a male(yes I know about 1 in 1000 fem seeds comes out male, THOSE odds I can deal with) 50/50 shot of a male, not so much something I can afford to pump resources into.
I have read that photos are super sensitve to light pollution, which is another reason my focus is on autos, My tent is NOT light proof, If the lights in my room are off I can see light coming out of my tent around the zipper and vents. I can not afford another better tent. Which leads me to my next question.
If I am growing photos, I will be doing Sea of Green starting on a 12/12 Light Cycle from day 1 in 4 inch pots(once I get a digital timer) How much of an Issue, will the fact that if light can get out, light can get in be? Because I will likely still be awake when the timer kicks to dark with the room lights on in my room.
My room is never totally dark which doesnt effect autos at all, there are lights on my computer that are fairly bright, Bright enough that I can see to walk through the room with the lights off. Turning it off when I sleep is not an option as I use it to play videos for background noise when I sleep(downside of being in the army in a barracks where its never really quiet lol) Plus I have insomnia.
General Flavors I like, not sure this part matters because if the weed works for my conditions and doesnt leave me brain dead dont really care how it tastes lol. I like Fruity flavors( I vape for nicotine) My normal flavor for a vape is Vanilla Sugar cookie custard.
So given this long post with the info provided, what say you, the ones with expirence, as far as what strains I should look at? IF possible, something that comes in an Auto fem.
