The best strain for insomnia?

[Aestivus]

Well I have already done a lot of research and personal trial and error. I do have strains that work but I was hoping a few people could drop in and make some reccomendations based off personal experience so I can expand my horizons a bit.

Most of the kush we get here in socal can put me down and out so no real need to list those unless you are sure I havent had it before ;p.

Also, if you know of any places that usually have good knock out weed please either PM them and what I should be lookin for or just post it in this thread.

The cheaper the better until I can get my grow under way but this is not my primary concern.

an indica dom. blockhead will knock you out before u even know it.

This is good news, as I'm growing Blockhead currently. I only get about 4 to 5 hours solid sleep a night, and it's friggin' driving me crazy.

Have you tried making some cannabutter? A good batch will knock you out, and the sleep is really deep and refreshing.

Blockhead is amazing.It'll knock you out or get you ready for 4 hours of physical labor depending on your mindset.You can flower 4 ft plants in 3 gallon pots inches apart it's so columnar.I havent considered dropping the pheno in years while blowing through many others.For an easterner its a treat,maybe not so much in the west where cuts are available.

try getting rid of gluten in your diet.

Do you find that removing the gluten helps? I get my fair share, cereal for breakfast, bread in sandwiches at lunch etc and have trouble with insomnia.

I've found that MasterKush is good for helping aid sleep. Strawberry Cough too, although I let my strains run til mostly amber trichs and find this has the biggest effect on making the stone sleepy.

I can vouch for edibles too, they completely knock me out but I find it hard to get a correct dosage.

 

[Swollen Calyx 2]

what about concentrates? Have you tried any?

 

[EatCannabisRaw]

if there is a core issue for your insomnia...then weed is a bandaid for it...

or... it could be that outside -UNcontrollable- forces are causing you to be more stressed...

and then weed comes in for the rescue...

WORD! Eating it will prolong the effect MUCH longer than smoking ANY kind of herb.

i heard stories of eating buds with no pipe/flame around and potent stuff.. never done it.

so now I am onto another debate over insomnia, not only strain debate, but smoke vs eat the cannabutter. our butter pretty potent and kind of environmentally buzz associated? ie: guy eats it and goes and party's all night with buds and is high as can be, but next week is veggin on Sunday morning and eats some at 9am, out in 30 minutes, wakes up 7 hours later, 5pm, thinks it is 5am next day, thought sleeped 20 hours, even jumped into shower and got into truck before realized sun was not coming up, but going down....... so there ya go, same batch of butter, in fact, same brownies... ?

My vote would be Black Domina also, but it's hard to find anyone who's got the killa genetic stock!

Maybe they should be eaten only when the person wants to go to sleep instead of going out to party. I wonder how much mind set impacts.

For me, there is nothing like eating marijuana. In strong doses, it will put me to sleep every time. Even smoking some heavy indicas will put me down.

Haha, that is so funny when you wake up and think its the morning when its really the night. Things can be really confusing at first, haha.

i can vouch for master kush. insomnia has more to do with regular excercise then we think.
i was a classic insonmia case (with ADHD) for years. One day i contracted an 8-5 job (god what a nasty infection) and things started to get better because i was being forcfully woken up early every day and not doing physical labor but i was very active during my days driving walking around and carrying computers and stuff. my insomnia problem was cut in half. i still had to medicate to get a solid 8 hours sleep but my problem went from chronic sanity loss to manageble in about 2-3 weeks. hope this helps

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

herouana is a good one.

Candy skunk is one of 3 phenos given to a Venice beach collective.
She may guide you to stare off and think during the day optimizing your short and long term plans with the influence of practical creativity supplemented by clear visualization.
At a moment you snap out of it with hunger or a revelation.

At night she day dreams you to sleep.

It works well to 'unbraid' carpal tunnel tendons and relieve burning pain in tissues from repetitive motion. 1-2 Huffs will re-put you back to sleep at times when you simply should not be awake.

Outgrows many strains with medium to medium/heavy production.
Exceptionally sweet with short cure times required.

It is not Kushy more like the Widow and Hindu Skunk

Master Kush and Purple Kush are superb for pain relief.
