Indicas - Afghan, kush's, hashplant, romulan, NL - try and look for landrace strains. [Pure indicas]

and ignore DaChi - thats the second post i've seen by him that is useless CRAP and he's only got 28 over all.

Yeah, but they asked for strains. You're right though, those purples are heavy body stone indicas, but it was abit vague.

And post count means nothing - so why mention it?

Master kush should be perfect for insomnia. If not that, I'd say northern lights.

My room mate has the same problem and the last time I had some northern lights he slept like 10 hours through.

Hp-13 Hash Plant X G-13

LA Confidential - OG Kush x Afghan I believe.

MK Ultra - G-13 X OG Kush i think

Serious Seed's AK47 and White Russian, Sensi Seed's White Label Sensi Star, Legend's Ultimate Indica, Nirvana's White Rhino and something called Sudden Impact (Hashplant x G13) AK47 if you can find it.

Bluegrass Seeds sold Sudden Impact but the strain is hard to find.
If you breed....I'm sure it could be reproduced with some strong work over a few years :hippy:....if you have that kind of desire.


These are the most powerful meds I've had.

I suggest any of these.

Plan B's Black Indica is good.

I'm not surprised that someone jumped on that statement about purps. We've had a history of people posting stuff like 'bud is good BECAUSE it's purple', or 'BECAUSE it's 'dro'', while the color or grow method aren't as important as the actual strain and care taken in finishing and curing the product.
Many purple strains really sucked, because they were being bred solely to give that colorful bud that The Yeag used to call 'nOOb candy' because inexperienced smokers equated bag appeal with quality.
Luckily the modern purples are improving DRASTICALLY.
Anyway... "D just to chime in on that one!

I cant believe noone has said WHITEWIDDOW.


The fattest funkiest chunkiest nugs i've come across.

And talk about a couch lock. it Beats the Kush and hashplant hands down.
if you can find the genetics give it a try you'll be more than impressed.

For sleeping, I'd recommend indicas, mostly types of kush, white widow, or anything else that you can get your hands on.

while i would almost disagree with white widow since its such a strong sativa, i have to agree. It can really make me fall asleep in less than 2 minutes if i try to sleep while on it. whereas most sativas keep me awake.
Grand daddy purple i had trouble sleeping on, it is a mix so i think you would be better off with kush's and other indica dominant strains. I think all the big name brands for sleeping have been mentioned.

why do you have to rag on the guy for trying to HELP? so he was a bit vague, its up to the person he was directing the comment towards to take that comment as useless or if its useful. even if he does have a history of saying dumb shit, that does not matter, because the simple fact is hes trying to help, and id rather he TRIED and was wrong or rather misunderstood then keep his comments to himself. its what were here for, to help one another. LIP i agree with most of the stuff you say towards a ton of the more idiotic people on this forum and i thank you good sir, but now im seeing you put down people a lot man, its not cool. you know what you do when you see that kinda shit? you HELP that person to better understand, and maybe the correct information might be more widespread. all your doing is making people feel like idiots, and (to me) all of your posts imply that you know the most about anything cannabis related... help man, dont put down. and please do not try to put me down for defending someone TRYING to do something good, because i know you have quite a temper, but man that just makes me angry.

This is just what i see, if i am wrong please correct me, but dont make me feel like a moron for defending someone

As much as i like to think i know it all, i dont, and i have never said once that i do. I dont claim to know everything about cannabis [i dont, nor do i know everything about strains OR growing] but if people want to think that, they can. Thats their decision.

I post what i like, and what i think. If i dont like someone, i'll post it. If i think someone is a c*nt, i'll post it - because i can.

What really gets me pissed off, is when people give advice on the simple basics - such as strains and STILL get it wrong! BASICS! If they dont even know the basics of weed, they shouldnt be smoking it. A little research goes along way. I'm ALL for helping people, but getting them to go and read for themselves is better. If they read and learn about it, and still dont understand something, im more than happy to help, if i can. But i dont see why we should do the work for someone else. All the info is only a google away. It's not hard to inform yourself.

I was abit harsh on dachi, i admit that, although another post of his i saw which was useless probably contributed somewhat to the posts in this thread.



At the end of the day, i'll say what i always say - its best to ignore what i say, because then i cant offend anyone. If i do offend anyone, thats their problem and if they want it sorted they can have it sorted- If you catch my drift ;)


Normally i'd lay into you around this point, but concidering you didnt insult me, i shant. not only that, but i actually like you.

You're right about my temper though - and that again no doubt adds to my posts.

what would make you think that purple weed is going to make someone sleep better?..perhaps something like white rhino, dutch passion blueberry..

and according to dachi..all right, you're going to need to regulate the temperature and keep it no more than 54 degrees...once it's purple, and several weeks into flower you'll go to sleep just looking at it :stoned::thumbsup:

The purple strains out there are changing darasticaly. I just got areoponic purple urkle and grape crush.... not to much purple noticeable on the buds because of the connisure cut but can definatly taste it. Hmmmm?? Good genetics

And orange crush definatly high lol

Don't worry lip... I have noticed that we are all surrounded by idiots

I have a problem with insomnia as well Atkeni. While visiting my friend over the holidays he let me try some White Rose he had recently grown. I don't think I've ever found a strain that helps quell the insomnia better for me. The best part was that it gave me a pleasant stone that made me feel drowsy but still able to function if need be. It might be a strain you'd be interested in trying as it is supposedly 100% indica. He said he ordered the seeds from the Rhinoseeds company. A quick google search should give you a link to their site. I hope this information was helpful.

Also, consider growing one of, or all of,those indica strains that LIP listed until the later ripening stages of the plant. This will cause a sleepier body stone, as there is more CBD (Cannabidiol). Maybe try shooting for around 25% amber trichomes.

Also, consider listening to the people here who have higher post counts... it does matter in a way. These are people who have been around for quite awhile, and therefore have been around the information surrounding cannabis for quite some time. Though I'm not trying to generalize, it is true that those like LIP do have some credibility in this issue. I, myself, would definitely listen to them over someone with 28 posts. (no offense to those with low post counts)

Also, you might want to check out Romulan. Heavy narcotic stone, and would be perfect for your insomnia...

best strain for my insomina is White Widow. it's a 60/40 hybrid, and it works perfect. for me, the sativa side of it relaxes all the muscles in the body, while the indica half goes straight to the head with a heavy, sleepy feeling.

I've tried Jack Herer, and every time I smoke it, I end up passing the fuck out. Sometimes it takes like 3-4 hours, but always, I pass out. For a few hours. This could be shortly after waking up even. Herer knocks you the hell out.:jointsmile:

jack definitely does not help me with sleeping. If I smoke after midnite I can be assured of staying up until at least 4am. I do make some great music during those hours though.:thumbsup: I also agree about the white widow. I always have an energy drink when I smoke it to counter act. Not the most social strain. I run out of things to say real fast with the WW. Jack is pretty fun.

My suggestion would be northern lights. I know it's been said before in this thread, but i really REALLY enjoy it. I've just harvested some and it's great. It's very potent and after it's all said and done i'm snoring before i hit the pillow, if i even make it to the bedroom!

just my twin Lincolns (2 cents).

I googled Mandala Seed and they do not ship to the US. I am
interested in good seeds at good prices. I am looking for a very
stony indica that would be helpful with my sleep problem and
pain. We have 3 unknown plants in bud now. One very odd one.
The seeds were bought online and were a mix bag so to speak.
One of the plants has some big leaves which I feel could cause
a problem for light to get in. What is the rule of thumb. I have
heard that "less" is better and you should never trim after bud.
Around here you can get clones of some varieties. Most are
$10 sexed and 1ft tall. I am looking for medical strains ie/
indicas or indica/sativa mix. I had good results with Silver
Haze, White Rhino, Northern Lights. These I have not found
in clone form. At $125/10seeds....$12.50 each. I suppose I
had better get tips for starting from seed as I may not find
the clones I need and want. I would appreciate any input on
really good medical strains. I have heard a lot about PPP,
White Widow and of course Chronic. I have 4 AK's in veg
which we got for $30 sexed and 1ft tall. I have yet to find
seeds cheap online. The $ exchange is so messed up...TY.

Here are some good ones, They are all on the Indica dominate side.

--> White Berry (WW X BB i think) High times said " It's also a great nighttime smoke, with soothing qualities that can induce a peaceful, easy feeling perfect for sitting on the couch with a bong. Medical patients also highly recommend white berry for muscle spasms and restless-leg syndrome". And It flowers in 7 weeks. look it up @ paradise-seeds.

--> The FLav [ combines Canada's legendary Romulan W/ the original Space Queen(Romulan X Cinderella 99) for a taste sensation hard to beat] Find it at seedbay flowers in 8-9 weeks. Its quality medical cannabis hybrids(indica heavy) for patients in need.

-->The Black by BCBD flowers in 7-8 weeks. Known for frosty, tight, dark nugs. 90% indica. Truly a nighttime smoke, and it is especially appreciated by medical users.

-->Crima Blue (Uzbek Kush mother X DJ short BlueBerry male) It's medical indica dominant hybrid. With a cannabidiol count of 1.2% and a THC count hitting 18%. It delivers a powerful and sedating high with a strong body stone. Recommended medical uses range from muscle spasm therapy, multiple-sclerosis, to pain reduction in the neuropathy suffered by HIV/AIDs patients.

-->KushBerry (OG kush mother X Oregon BlueBerry father) 70%indica 30% satvia. Grows short and stocky. Entered to the 2008 Cannabis cup as Best Indica
