Help me find a suitable strain for my symptoms please

Hey guys, I'm diagnosed with ADHD, depression and mild anxiety. I have extreme hyperfocus from the ADHD, basically if i'm interested in something I block literally everything out and can do said thing for hours/days without even noticing the time fly by. As a side effect of this I rarely have an appetite and need to put on a fair bit of weight.

I'm looking for something that will increase my appetite, something that won't increase my anxiety, something to lighten my mood and it's hard to put this in to words but something that will sort of fog my brain so I can't hyperfocus on things.

My grow setup is a 2x2x4 foot grow tent with a 150 watt HPS grow light, going to be using soil. I also have a carbon filter so a smellier strain isn't much of a concern.

If I have forgotten any details you might need to suggest a strain for me just ask and I'll answer. Thanks in advance.

Avail yourself of Leafly. You will learn of strains that are never mentioned here. But I would suggest Flo as one strain. You will not find a single strain to help all. Focus on indicas or indica-dominant strains.

I have the same as you (light depression, mild anxiety and adhd with hyperfocus). I am the same as when I get interested I forget everything else.

For me I go for the hybrids. Currently I am growing HSO blue dream and trainwreck. One thing that helped me a lot was to switch from smoking to vaping. When I smoked I would need to sit down a lot and became lazy in life. With my brain not enjoying that so it pushed my depression from mild to much heavier. Vaping helped my anxiety cause you can't smell the smoke on my breath and it helped my depression as it lifted me up (slight different stone). Since vaping I can still walk around and do things that my adhd needs but I do feel I can relax much easier. Also with my vape I can limit how much I want so I can take a small hit and that will keep me going without wasting me.

The downside I find with these strains is that they stop me sleeping. I still need to find a good strain that I can vape and sleep to.

Thank you for the reply, I have ordered some blue mystic fems from nirvana that that I initially purchased having done research on low odor strains. As this is my first grow I had to buy all the grow kit and didn't want to spend too much, but after further research I came to the understanding that it's going to stink regardless of strain so I bought a carbon filter anyway. I'm probably going to try grow 2 plants, 1 blue mystic and 1 from the suggestions put forth here. Leafly says that the blue mystics most pronounced effect is sleepy, so that should offset the insomnia from the strains your suggesting. As for your vaping suggestion, I was planning on going the vaping route, any suggestions on decent but inexpensive vaporizers?

edit: sorry hotrodharley didn't see your reply before I posted thanks for the suggestion I will look into it!

Indicas are great for your adhd. Grand daddy purps is found to be great for it. Harle Tsu, Cbd strains, like Med Gom from CBD Crew, OG kush is probably your best option.

Sounds like OG Kush from Dinafem will best suit you. Its a heavy hard hitting strain that will put you to sleep, or calm your entire body. I'm currently growing my last seed. I love it.

Strongly recommend growing a single strain in a small space with your limited experience. KISS.

Yeh I thought as much myself, just got to figure out a way to convince the ball and chain that the seeds I bought already weren't a complete waste by not growing them at all.

You're welcome. cbd strains are great for anxiety, i had severe anxiety with panic attatcks following it and smoked cbd for a few weeks, didnt think of panic and anxiety attacks, stayed in a good mood and look positively forward on dominating those and im not suffereing from anxiety anymore. Now i can smoke heavily all over like i used to.

Well I got my beans from dinafem and og kush was included for free. I put a seed down in a 2 liter coke bottle just to check if I like it. Right now I'm at day 34. I still have at least 30 days to go.


vapes. I own a flowermate 5s and love it. it's cheap and works well. I'm sure there are better out there but this suits my needs perfectly. If you have the cash ... get this before it goes!

Oh ok, im pretty sure you'll love the strain, i know my wife and i love it. Puts us to sleep and keeps us asleep pretty good. Not bad for high thc content. I do not like vaping lol. I dont know why either, i tried vaping, didnt like the tasteless smoke and tossing the buds away after, but it was an old vape where you plug it into the wall lol. Maybe i'll try vaping again, im going to look into a vape dealer online, ones made for dabs and dried bud @ vapingsesh.com

Blue cheese,or nevilles haze, medi haze or cannatonic for days if you are working,after work blue cheese or nevilles haze.also try oil try it with good quiaty sugar leaf before useing buds ya might find a big difference in how much oil helps you.hope all goes well I suffer with anxiety and depression not nice at all oil has been a god send,I have stopped useing my anti depressants and diazepam since useing oil,don't just stop though see how you go first

Vaping is different though and not for everyone. One area I noticed was the sleepiness isn't the same as smoking. I stopped smoking about a year ago. My lungs feel so much better my wife even kisses me more (she no longer uses .. not for her). IT gives me a much cleaner high where my brain will still function and it allows me to be semi-active. It is a bit like doing sugar leaf oil although sugar leaf I have noticed is more mellow. I believe it is this way because there is always more amber on the suagr.

i smoke and my lungs are great, i dont get sick as often as everyone else that smokes though. Im always active, either riding my snowmachine in the powder all day and night, in my tent, working on the house and vehicles. Everyone's got different ways of taking in thc anyways we're all stoners lol

I'm going against the grain. Find a good haze and let it ripen good. It will help.

It's NEVER a waste to have seeds waiting. Never. like money in the bank.

A haze or sativa strain will make you worse more than likely. Personally for you id reccomend blueberry. It should have just what you need.

A thousand times indica. Most sativas can give a regular person bouts of hyperfocus.

I second this recommend. Also blueberry is so bloody hard to screw up. (Just watch the nutes.)
