Of everything I’ve grown so far, the ones that hammer me right to sleep through my insomnia have been:
-Icy Grape by Copa Genetics (Purple Skittles x Black Domina)
-Cherry Unicorn by Bodhi Seeds (Fat Cherry Afghani x Purple Unicorn F3) (PU= Chem D x Blackberry Kush)
Both of those leave me going whoa hey I just fell asleep here with my eyes open.
Karmas acid dawg, the stardog phenos put me to bed in about 40 min.
An insomniac here too, watching this, great suggestions…!
I believe you should not fight with falling asleep, as if you do you don’t sleep all night
Very insightful @Realmoustapha . I’ll keep that in mind.
If it were only that easy! I don’t “fight with falling asleep”, I embrace it like a long lost lover!
I really wish that was the issue, not a serious illness. I honestly can’t think of how many times I’ve been told I need more exercise, need to try yoga, need to not worry before going to bed, etc. The reality of it is if it’s not treated I’m unable to sleep for days at a time and unable to function at work or otherwise be able to live a relatively normal life. I’ve been through all of the pharmaceuticals… I’m good on being doped up on benzodiazpenes the rest of my life while still being unable to function. I’ll stick with my weed and help others do same.
I’d check with a healthcare professional to see if your medication is causing it if it’s a recent thing. May be more helpful to take something away than to add to the mix if that’s the cause.
Or smell a lavender or some shit.
These people don’t know what they are talking about.
The lavender one ah yes, how could I forget hearing that one through the years. Right, like sick people need to cultivate lavender in secret because it’s curing their illnesses and big pharma is lobbying to lawmakers to keep it inaccessible. Big issue we’re still up against.
The worst one is “get healthy sleep so you can get healthy sleep.”
I’ll stop now.
Bubba Kush
Skunk Ape
Banana OG have been putting me to sleep. Infused in coconut oil with coffee, tea or baked in brownies or cornbread. Also do ice bong hits for quick results
I totally feel ya on the insomnia stuff. Always had trouble falling asleep as a kid and it followed me right up into my adult life. Northern lights#5, Grape Ape, Gorilla Glue4 and Granddaddy purple have seemed to help a bit.
All those are good I can confirm. The GG4 is probably the best smoke but hasn’t been great in edibles for sleep in my experience. The kush, chunky bud varieties are best in the edibles.
Mimosa shot is in my basket, just liked description of the strain, didn’t think it treats
I know this is an old post but I think there’s something to this. The first time I made good bubble hash, maybe 3 years ago, my buddy and I had the same reaction: we started dreaming again, and intensely.
After a certain tolerance level it feels like dreams become less intense, but after smoking that hash, they came back hard for the both of us, for several days too. Blew my mind. Too bad I can’t remember which strains went into it
Hey ChongoBongo,
Oh man, this is one of those posts I’ve dreaded to fling into the open forum, as it comes from my time working to help a few friends, with different, issues. It is so hard going back to some of these memories.
IMHO, we are throwing away, every hermi plant, or many are tossing a male as soon as it spotted.
Myself included, until a friends wee taco bell type dog, that was taking Phenol barbital for seizures. After so many years, it stopped working.
Pet doc, tells friend, sorry to say this, but his meds, can only be increased to stop seizing, however, that dose, will become toxic to him, and in 2 years, he will seize out, or die from the chemical toxicity. HARSH REALITY.
I made a few extractions (lower buds) for the dog, and saw excellent results, so much so, we weened him off the PB and as those drops kept the seizures from him or greatly reduced ,on occasion a small shiver here and there.
About the 3rd month, the owner tells me, more but small seizures were happening.
So, man I go deep dive, into every dog doctor thread I can find, (damn few) .
I do find a story from a dog breeder, his breed can have some fatal neurological disorder, and out of desperation, he started feeding his dogs, a whole plant extract, into their food, he did still loose a dog, but his puppy pack, was doing far better than the statically average.
So I contact the guy, he responds, and during our brief back and forth, he tells me, it was hermi plants, he ground up.
It was like when I got hit in the head with a hammer, I felt like I would black out, I got woozy in my stomach, as every time I culled a herm, or a male, I would think to myself, THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING IN THESE PLANTS!!
I had this huge sfv x appalachian show me balls, in the 3rd week of flower. So it just had started it’s shine, (THC) on tiny buds.
I got the hand cutters, and removed all branches, then I removed just the big sucker leaf. I let it hang until crispy.
Laid a tarp down, put some gloves on, and did a strip and rip from each branch.
I then placed all that into a contractor bag and into the freezer. Frozen matter crumbles in your fingers.
I then did a sort of half assed Green Dragon extraction, using Polyethylene glycol and vegetable glycerin.
Placed some pint jars, into a crock pot, trivet in the bottom, 1/2 full of PEG/VG, then as much plant mater as I could, while keeping some space in the jar so I can shake the fuck out it, ever 4 hours, for 10 days, 4 hours ON, heating to around 130 F then off for 4 hours.
Allowing the solution temperatures to Porpoise up and down, and shaking it hard like, every time it cycled off.
The product, was a beautiful lite green, with a delicious nutty flavor, a touch sweet.
To try it out and to see what it’s potency is, I ingested a tablespoon full. I got a tiny bit of a buzz, so it’s not going to whack out the wee dude.
The drops, were given each morning at breakfast, and at supper, just the first batch we made, that worked for bit.
The dog lived another 7 years, on the drops.
He had 2 side effects pop up, he had a terrible food bowl addiction, and would run into the kitchen to guard and snarl and snap at their son, just being in the room! GONE!! went away with the drops.
Second, he hated being around the son, and the sons friends when they were playing in the house. The dog would leave the room, bitching snarling, if they got close to him. GONE!!
So I start giving out this elixir, if I talk to someone seeking relief from whatever.
A 96 year old lady, went from sitting in her chair, to back working her outdoor flower garden, as her son told it to me. She had been in the doldrums not sad, not happy, just sitting, and that was not her. The drops opened her up.
MS afflicted lady, came to me, I had helped her, giving her grams of all my various strains, until we hit one that made it so, instead of every morning for 2 hours to get declawed and fetal during her sleep. 2 puffs of Hammer Of Dawn buds, and in 15 minutes she is up and exercising.
Gave her a jar of drops, her exact statement to me, puffing the weed get’s me declawed each morning, the drops, keeps my sense of well being up!
I do not profess to know what is working and what is psychological working, but clearly to me, something profound was taking place, for long lengths of time.
There were fails also, my friend was dying from cancer, it did almost nothing for him. Some RSO, mildly relieved him. I just wanted to ease his mind as he fought the pain. FUCK CANCER!
Wish the best for you!!
I have some of the Kush going.
The orange groves I have growing smell great!! Real potent orange stem rub, sweet flowers. Have you run any of @Floyd’s gg4xorange grove? Have some of them I’m thinking of running…also itching to try the NL x OG…
