I think what you're looking for is something strong. Being 70 adhd wasn't a diagnoses it was disruptive a disciplined not treated and drugged. Although many of us had adhd as all our parents of my age drank and drove their cars. We were just sent to the back of the class or out in the hall. So if I'm an example of an un-diagnosed adhd person then i recommend the strongest smoke you can find. What is called couch lock,. If you are in a legal area go get a sample / gram or 2 and try out different strains.....I can't speak of your autism but I have experience with adhdNot sure if this is the right section for the topic. I am autistic and have ADHD. I had bad experiences with cannabis in past so never tried it again until recently. Started growing it for my cousin with MS then expanded to growing more for my mom she has chronic pain. I needed to understand the entire thing better so I broke down and smoked a bit so I could get a baseline and improve my abilities. I felt amazing. Didn't smoke much but apparently it was enough to change so much for me. I felt better about so much. Negative affects that made it hard for me to function seemed to go away or greatly reduced. It was just bag seed. My cousin had some seeds, unknown strains etc. I didn't take any clones and that first harvest was very small and most was intended for her so I only kept about 50ish grams for myself. I have been growing super sshaze x apple juice ever since because I got a clone and then kept cloning from there. It hasn't had the same overall effect as the unknown seeds I had started the journey with. I recently got some seeds of WW x Bruce Banner but still in flower haven't tried it. I was also given seeds of Durban Poison(mother) x Critical Clementine(father) as well as Purple Thai Haze(mother) x Critical Clementine(father) that I haven't even started yet.
I have searched endlessly but haven't found anything useful. I am looking for a strain that would help me smooth out the rough edges of my ADHD/ASD brain as well or maybe better than that first harvest of unknown did. Anyone else ADHD/ASD and have some help with preferred strains? With the time it takes from seed to smoke I would love to just start with something that others have had success with.
Longer running Indica's as well, I've pulled plants too early and got the jitters after I smoked it, like coffee jitters. The longer it ripens the better for me.....8 weeks = 10 - 11 for smoother more of a mellow smoke.I know two smokers say they have ADHD and they do seem to prefer calming strains, usually on the indica side of the spectrum, but I don't know if that holds true for everyone. Two guys who have crossed paths with me isn't exactly a random sample.
Might try letting one of the 2 white banners flower a bit longer than the other.Longer running Indica's as well, I've pulled plants too early and got the jitters after I smoked it, like coffee jitters. The longer it ripens the better for me.....8 weeks = 10 - 11 for smoother more of a mellow smoke.
THIS^^^^^I'm bipolar, and the older I get, starting to think probably also have Asperger's. When I was able to smoke, I preferred sativas, personally. Something about the terpenes really did well for me. Indicas always drove a hard anxiety coupled with an inability to function. Sativas, though, they smoothed things out while taking that "edge" off. Can't say they'll work for you, a lot of people end up crippled with paranoia on em, but for me, they were highly effective. Can't smoke anymore because THC drives me right into a panic attack, but I still grow for a small group of patients and the act of growing is therapeutic in of itself.
My best advice is grow a diverse range of genetics, find what works for you. It's a process of elimination. If you can, stay away from hype strains or heavily hybridized genetics -- you want clean bloodlines, not hybrids of hybrids going back decades. Super Silver Haze (catpiss pheno was always my favorite), Cinderella 99 (hybrid, but insanely medicinal), Durban Poison, White Widow, White Rhino... good luck finding clean lines of any of those, but that's a solid mix of sativas and indicas you could look into, and the white strains will help anyone you're treating that has chronic pain.
Wish you luck, keep your head up and keep persevering!
Your mother may want to sample a bottle of a pain relief cream from a company called Medterra. When I used to work with them they made a pain cream that was mainly CBD but had some THC also.ASD is typically not a solo thing, the nature of it essentially changing the physical structure of the brain tends to create comorbidities such as OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, and more, including bipolar disorder, so you might be an autistic individual.
I received some free seeds mentioned above that both have Critical clementine father, forgot to ask if it was the same father or not but probably was, but the mothers are purple thai haze and durban poison. Hopefully these work well for me.
As for my patients, I only have 2 patients at the moment and they both seem to be happy. My mom actually loves telling everyone how amazing marijuana is. She shows them how easily she can walk and move her legs now. She used to have to wait for about 10 seconds after standing up before she could walk, unless she wanted to possibly fall over. Not sure why, assume some sort of blood flow issue, doctors told her there was nothing they could find. I do intend to look for specific strains that they prefer as well but atm keeping me able to keep growing is probably my main concern. If I'm not well they wont get anything lol. I almost lost my plants outside this past summer because I just couldn't bring myself to water them, will probably setup an automated water this summer.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
She wouldn't want to pay the price as I make it for her basically for free. Her oral dosing seems to be working nicely but I will keep that in mind.Your mother may want to sample a bottle of a pain relief cream from a company called Medterra.

I suggested it to a friend of mines who's grandmother could barely walk for more than an a few minutes before her knees hurt too much. She tried the cream and she was able to walk around for a few hours a day for around 3 days before the pain returned. Not sure if your mother will see the same results but it bears mentioning as I've seen it with my own eyes.
This is intersting. So the ssh x apple juice clone I have been using as a mother for most of my harvests worried me this harvest. Biggest harvest yet and ended up using 5gals with gamma lids to cure. I had never noticed it on past grows with same clones but it had a licorice but not quite licorice smell when I would burp as it got to end of cure. I was so worried I was getting mold or something was wrong with my new curing setup. I actually posted about it HERE. I am reading about the catt piss pheno LINK .......Super Silver Haze (catpiss pheno was always my favorite)
Sorry I was not offering a diagnoses but simply offering a factoid regarding your first sentence in which you stated you might also be ASD. If you wish to seek a diagnoses that is up to you entirely. I am ASD so I could also very likely have worded it in a way that was off putting. I have pissed off, without knowing why, probably 1 person a day, my whole life, simply because of how I communicate. If I have said something offensive I apologize it was not meant as such.not looking for a diagnosis, thanks though. simply offered input. best i step off as i have shown my ass plenty a time upon misreading something here. you're obviously intelligent OP, you can figure it out.
grow a variety, eliminate what doesn't work. grow more of what does. much love.
no offense taken, you communicate in this medium much like i do. i appreciate that a lot. i often feel too long winded, seeing someone else that runs their shit out.. .thought dumps, even... is a relief.Sorry I was not offering a diagnoses but simply offering a factoid regarding your first sentence in which you stated you might also be ASD.

That said I really appreciated your input and you actually maybe, probably solved a problem I had by bringing up the cat piss pheno! Thanks! At any rate I think I have what I need from what you and others offered me. Getting better at growing just have to learn what genetics I like now. Your last statement sums it all up perfectly.
