Medical strains for anxiety

Ok, need ya'lls advise. I want to grow a strain that combats my wife's anxiety. What I have now (commercial) just makes it worse. I'm currently growing AK47, still 3 Mos till harvest. Also have G13 haze , white widow and skunk 1 seeds that I could grow next but I want to grow a strain that will really help her. I am more of a recreational user, and I am sceptical that there is any that won't make anxiety worse.
Anyway my only limitations (if it is) is that I will only order from Seedsman, I like the company and gotta support our local Rep Green75
Also for hydro which will get me the most finished product autos or photo plants. Thanks
 
Btw, I looked at the strains Seedsman has listed for anxiety but I am hoping for some personal recommendations. The wife's anxiety is pretty severe.
 
I know you want personal experience, which I don't have yet. Bought myself a few strains but haven't grown yet. Since you've already done your research I guess you discovered that she needs a lower THC and higher CBD. One I that bought when I used calming as one of the parameters was Haze Auto CBD from Diadem.

Hope you can get some actually experience users to answers.
 
Joker, I utilize cannabis, in part, to moderate anxiety. I have found that most of the heavy indicas work pretty good. My favorite of all time was/is black russian although granddaddy purple is also a good one for me. I imagine that seedsman has a good selection of indicas old and new. Good luck !!!!
 
I know you're an experience grower, but if you let some your buds over ripen a bit, it lessens that anxiety / paranoia.

BTW, this information is a proven myth as first put out many years ago by Neil Young. Chewing ,or for some just smelling, peppercorns will take away the paranoia and anxiety.
Sorry, was a myth that has been proven to be fact.

For anxiety, you need to get off of Sativa and get some Indica. I highly recommend Purple Kush. Or you can let the Sativa you have now flower into the Amber Trichomes. It will help her considerably.
 
Are granddaddy purple and purple kush similar? I suppose they are. I've been itching to buy more seeds, don't really need them. Will add that to my wish list.
 
Dont know anything about PK myself. Do appreciate the advice here about later harvest, which would make those sativas more useful.
 
Purple Kush is a great medical strain. I currently have it for my wife. She has Epilepsy. She loves it.
 
AK-47 is an excellent plant to grow and smoke, been growing it for more than a year. Love it !! But is definately not good for anxiety. Personal experience only, take how you like. Accupulca Gold will ease the anxieties that beset some us more than others. Grow in peace !!
 
BC Seedking out of Canada. Got them twice, never had a problem. They also give free seeds. The same strain that you bought. Last time I ordered 10 PK females and got 7 free PK females. Stealth shipping.
 
Joker-I will give you my experience. I have been dealing with severe anxiety since my early twenties. There was a year in my life that I went outside maybe six times. It has been a ride and I have great empathy for your wife and you trying to find some treatments. The shit they gave me from doctors either turned me into a zombie or I had really bad reactions, so they can keep their chemical crap. I have found relaxation exercises to be the best short term defense, but takes years to develop. I am in my mid fifties and this is still my main health issue.

Three years ago, I decided to investigate if cannabis could help me be more stable and happy. I found that it certainly did, but not completely. I have found, like the advice you have gotten, that Indica dominate strains work best. Also, I have found that letting the tricomes go a little amber produces a more relaxing high. My problem is that I get used to a strain quickly and it is less effective for me so I try to grow as many different strains as possible. I have found that Kush strains and even spefically Afghan Kush work well for me. I look for strains closer to landrace as possible. I like Master Kush and Northern Lights, but there are other hybrids that have worked too. I am constantly hunting for the "perfect" strain and having fun trying to grow it.

Here is another thing I have discovered that helps is to vape! I got a vaporizer that you can control temperatures and found a setting that will literally melt anxiety from the top of your head down. I use it when I need to go deal with the public and combust when I am staying home. Am I cured? No, but I am much happier and my wife thinks I am a much better person to be with, plus I am a "productive" person in society.

My advice is to go to Leafly and look up strains for anxiety and read reviews on them with your wife. If she is not a regular consumer that may be an initial problem too. It took me at least a month of regular smoking to reduce the natural paranoia from smoking the powerful strains available today. Be patient, it might take time to find what works but don't give up. I believe that cannabis has helped me achieve a balance in my life. Sorry to ramble but this hit home and thought my experience may help. I wish you and your wife the best in your quest.
 
Thank you Thumbless Bastard for sharing your experience, I know from what I have seen my wife go thru that anxiety can really make life tough in a way that people that don't have it cannot understand.
 
This is some of the most honest and helpful advice ive seen to date . Thank you @Thumbless for sharing something that is obviously a struggle for you. This kind of thing is what makes this forum special. BTW - my wife thinks im a nicer guy after cannabis came along too..😉
