I'm looking for strains that their main effect is they knock an insomniac to sleep. What strains would fit this category and why?

Totally go with an over ripe (mostly amber trichs ) indica strain. Decarb first and make butter helps me sleep more than smoking

Old weed. THC converts to CBN over time, which is why old stuff always makes you fall asleep. I make a Harlequin (CBD) gummy that's pretty good for sleep. The caveat is that it doesn't make you sleepy. Instead it seems to keep you asleep once you're down. So not sure how that translate to insomnia where you can't get to bed. Do a little reading on CBN and then look for a strain with it. The problem is that the CBN isn't produced by the plant, it only happens when the THC degrades. But you can still find product that is sold as high CBN, but you can't grow a high CBN plant.

And I agree with SmokerBwah, editable is better then smoking for sleep.

I have had insomnia and in the long run edibles work best but sometimes it take hours to get the desired effects.
Black Domina is my #1 strain for insomnia with Afgoo,Romulan,Herijuana also putting you down.

I totally agree on Herijuana. One of the most narcotic cultivars that I have ever run. Woodhorse is still selling those seeds. I spoke with him not too long ago. I might pick some up at some point. I have never ran a pure Romulan, but have grown it in a fuckton of hybrids. Positive vibes...

Tincture of Indica is my salvation. I ingest 2ml with .5 gram decarbed flower nightly @ 2000hrs.

In my opinion, I’d stay away from the CBD oils, and keep with the suggestions of a good indica. My wife’s insomnia is heightened by a myriad of ill’s, she’s using two size 00 caps a night, one is decarb’d ground bud, the other a coconut infused cap (also decarb’d). The ingestion route is easier on her system, and mellows out the results, mostly works.

@quirk when you ingest your mixture... how much time passes before you start to feel sleepy?

@Dan789 Does your wife find it more effective to use gel caps vs eating the the decarbed buds 'raw'?

@fictionsuit Did you find a strain, or combination of strains, that worked out well for you?

We use long cured trim and buds to make coconut oil. The edibles made from it give a nice lift for a couple of hours after they take effect and then can put you in a nice deep sleep.

Like said above. Old weed the thc starts to turn to cbn.

We also use multiple strains which seems to up the effects all round.

She's taking one of each, and through her seat of the pants experience believes the coconut infused caps get started faster. By weight alone the dry caps are .4 grams, and the coconut infused are .8 grams respectively, but as always without an approximate potency level, is somewhat arbitrary... With me, the coconut infused caps take about an hour, maybe 1.5 hours to get any effect... (The only strains I'm cultivating are indica's and predominant indica hybrids.)

Bubba Kush has been the best I've had so far, and if you drink, I've had very good outcomes with green dragon

Bubba Kush is really strong and you can try it. I can also recommend HellFire OG https://askgrowers.com/strains/hellfire-og-strain-review. It helped me when I had insomnia.
