If I may, I would like to nominate Skywalker OG. Every time I consumed it I felt a little duh huh and wanted to sit down somewhere ![]()

A small investment in an oil infuser might be your ticket. Can infuse any herb for cooking and cannabis for edibles. Very easy to dose. Easy mixing in edibles using a touch of lecithin. Will assist in an oil/water bind. Coconut oil infused I just dose with a spoon if no gummies made. Cakes and such are ok but a good batch of gummies in the fridge has the shelf life. Coconut is not shelf stable and should be fridged. Olive oil infusions ARE shelf stable and can go on the shelf. Honey is a good infuse. Use for coffee, tea etc as your sweetener. So many ways to concentrate the med and dose it.
I’ll just jump in here and vote for GDP. Classic strain, classic effect. Let it go 50% or more amber trichomes before harvest. You should get the effect your looking for. As a side note, if you can get it, there is a company called Froot. They make sleep gummies called MySleep. Only 5 mg each so we take 2 each per night. Just enough THC, CBD, CBN to really help you sleep. Been a life saver for myself and several family members. Highly recommend if you don’t want to do it yourself. Best of luck to you.
All the strains stated will do what you’re looking for.
As a cancer survivor (2015), I use it to help me sleep. Tho I have not tried a lot different strains I have two favorites for different reasons. My daytime favorite is an Auto(Fat Banana) starts out heavy then gets very uplifting and energetic.My nighttime med is Godfather OG,I can barely get 1/2 way thru a joint.
But as some said,more amber more couch. GFOG wipes me out in 30 minutes after smoking.Very easy to grow as well.Any strain indica leaning will give you what your looking for IMO.
If you want a simple way to use this. All you need to do is decarb the weed. And then fill a capsule. You don’t need any thing else. You also are able to dose the same strength each time
Another member passed this on to me a long time ago.
I’ve tried many different sleep gummies, CBD and I believe it’s THC9 or something like that and they have never done me any good, even taking 2 or 3. I’m in a medical MJ state but I haven’t been able to get a card (my state makes it tough) so I have been growing my own. I’ve ordered the GDP and planning on learning how to make different edibles with it. Thanks, Darran
Yes, I’ve done it that way when I didn’t want to take the time to make it into an oil. The 1 teaspoon of the powder mixed with cream works and I always get the same dose that way.
Thanks, Storm
Thanks, noddykitty1, I will do that when I get the GDP seeds I ordered, thanks to the recommendations here. I actually didn’t know that the longer you leave the trichomes to turn amber, the stronger the couchlock. That’s eactly what I want for sleep.
No worries, hope it works out. Sleep is a wonderful thing, and you never realize how much you miss it until you get to catch up on some.
The My sleep that @Darran posted is what my sister uses. They are good enough that she buys then at 5 or 10 boxes at a time. She has sleep issues as well.
MK Ultra will put you to sleep but it stinks when growing and worse when flowering so you need a carbon filter in with it.
@Not2SureYet @Lornakinsh That was funny when I read your response Not2SureYet. I do EXACTLY the same thing, 5-10 boxes at a time. There was a time when they were backlogged on orders and there wasn’t dispensary within 25 miles that had them. (SoCal) I had just been buying a couple of boxes at a time then when it happened. After that, when I get down to 2 boxes (about 2 weeks’ worth), I go out and top up. I know Lornakish said that they had tried many gummies, so had I, before I ran across these. I highly encourage you to give these a try if you can find them. They are only $15 a box and well worth it. Like I had stated in an earlier post, I have now turned on many family members across the country and quite a few local friends and they all swear by them now. Best of luck to you.
That’s a very interesting one!
Love that idea!
…there were a lot of folks on here saying 50% amber; I don’t think I’ve ever been able to let a plant get that amber. Who’s got examples? I grow autos and had one of the longest indica runners in a while that I chopped at ~110+ days and took trich shots all over (including some sugar leaves) but it didn’t feel like a plant that wanted to keep going (I’ve had others much more amber that were several weeks younger):
