Opinions on strain choosing.

[Opt1983]

Hello, i was wondering what ya'll ideas would be for what kind of seeds to get next time i order which should be in the next month or so.

I'm looking for something that will help with depression/anxiety.Lately, every once in a while when i smoke i feel down about myself, tired, and very unsocial. It doesnt happen all the time, but i basically dont kno what effect im gonna get each time i get high. I like them heavy indicas at night, sure, when im bout to fall asleep, but i need something that will keep me motivated during the day.Is there a specific strain that gives off these traits i want? i kno theres lots of MJ that supposably will give the heady effect, but that depends on time of harvest etc. Is there a strain that will give me these effects even if i dont harvest at the 100 percent right time? thx -Opt

P.S. if this is in the wrong forum, my bad. I'm still getting used to this site, so if so, moderators pls transfer to the correct forum thx.

I would recomend "the pure" from TFD, is some really nice classic skunk#1 very good for anxiety.

I would assume that any sativa dominant crosses/strains could produce a motivational high...

If you are like me and have little space, a haze type pure sativa would not be ideal as I'm sure you know how big they can get. But any close relation of C99 will produce as far as i know a compact plant with a sativa high, much more suited to our needs. Also one of my top smokes lol, cant wait to grow out my PC99 x Blackberry.
Apolo11, Genius, Sour Diesel, Black Russian ETC are all sativas that could be grown indoors, Definitely keep your eyes out for them.

Hope this helps...

Try Sagarmathas Diamond Head. It has a very low odor and very mellow relaxing high. The high gets you in the mood to do something creative. I like to listen to music and read alot. Not to mention it finishes at around 50 days. Can't go wrong with it. It's a mostly Sativa plant so the high is very uppy and heady.

I've read many posts saying that Thai strains are very good for treating deppression. It seems many find it's high to be very uplifting for the spirit. Also as a deppression sufferer myself ,One piece of advise ...When your feeling blue....try some phisical activity like jogging or walking or even sit ups and push ups this works well for me as in alot of cases deppression is your body's way of tellin' you "let's get busy". :wink:

Let me say something here that some might disagree with....The effect smokin has on you, IMO, depends on your frame of mind at the time you smoke....If you feel depressed and down after smokin, it's probably because you were in a depressed frame of mind before smoking.....I'm a little "funny" about my smoking....I don't want to smoke unless I'm prepared for smoking...IOW's, I make sure I've had a shower and feel good before smoking....I won't come in from a hard days work and be tired/sleepy and try to smoke something that will "uplift" me...It probably ain't gonna work...If it does, it'll be for a short while only.....So, choose two strains, one for couchlock effect and one for an uplifting/party effect....Use as needed, and don't expect them to work miracles.....JMO....LC

Right on LC, thats what im trying to get accomplished, a uplifting smoke, and something couchlock at night. where im at the shit that runs thru our community is just so unstable, u never kno what ur gonna get..... thats why im trying to grow "what i wanna get" lol. I'm just trying to find the best suited sativa that will work for me, so many choices to choose from! i'm hearing good things bout C99 and C99 crosses so i might give one of those a try, but for now, i'll have to wait on my Skunk #1's i got goin, hopefully i can get a good pheno, that will hold me over until i get another sativa type strain going in the next few months, need something more stable then these freebie skunks i got. -Opt

Well, I've always been a fan of Shantibaba @ Mr.Nice seeds....If I made your choice for you, I would go with Medicine Man for couchlock, and Super Silver Haze for the uplifting high....Of course each persons motabalizm(sp) comes into play with each strain and the way it effects them....When you harvest has to do with it also....If you make that choice, just stick with a reputable breeder and go to his forum and grow it his way....That's the best advise I can give....So, I would go to the individual seedbanks forum and ask the questions.....LC
