By "para" I assume you mean paranoid, so you need an anti-anxiety strain that will make him feel good, but not too trippy so he's spooked.

Strawberry Cough, Dutch Passion would be my first choice:

A very productive plant of high value as a medicinal herb. Bred for its euphoric, anti-anxiety high, this mostly sativa (approx. 75% Sativa 25% Indica) produces a comfortable and enjoyable, yet powerful, experience. The plants have long branches, making this beauty a great plant for “sea of green” gardens. It’s a very consistent Purple variety. The quality is in the experience, not so much in the yield, which is average.

Flowering period: 9 weeks
Harvest time outdoor: 3rd – 4th week of Oct.

Strawberry Cough - Dutch Passion Seeds - Pick 'n' Mix Cannabis Seeds

---

Kali Mist would be a great second choice to grow with the SC.

Also, you can never go wrong with Blueberry

you want a strain that is indica dominant. I would stay away from calimist and strawberry cough. You can always go with Northern Lights or Afghan.

I think alot of times it has to do with where your at, what time of day it is, who you're with etc. I've smoked at night and had no paranoia but when I smoke the same shit the following day I start geeking the fuck out for no reason. I've been smoking anything that burns for 15 years and I still have tripped out moments.

",does the way you grow make any differance to the high you get,like if i grew in soil organics rarther than in hydro with ionic nutes ?"

I don't believe the growing method will change the TYPE of high/stone, but will definitely change the yield, growing period - and possibly potency.

"how do you rate dp fem seeds (if you used fem ones) i hear they tend to hermi alot thats why i aint got round to cracking them so far."

I love the fem seeds, it's all I'll use from now on when given the choice.

As I understand fem seeds and hermieing: Stress and genetics can both cause hermieing.

Fem seeds are made by stressing (usually light period) a plant with (hopefully) good genetics into producing both male and female flowers. When the plant pollenates herself in isolation the seeds will all be female.

If a plant has poor genetics whatever seeds are made from that plant will pass on the poor genetics - shit in/shit out. If the mother tended to hermie the seeds could produce hermies with no stress. I've had seeds from a breeder that I wouldn't give away, hermie after hermie in different mediums while other breeders grew beautifully. And those seeds were regular, not fem. Frustrating, you go insane trying to figure out what you're doing wrong and finally find out there's nothing that you could do to grow proper plants from garbage seeds.

If the genetics are good the light stress that causes the plant to hermie will not change the genetics in the off spring, so the plants grown from the fem seeds should have no more chance of hermieing than the mother. Established, reliable breeders as sold through Attitude or Pick n Mix should be good - or they wouldn't still be selling. Time tested.

you grow the weed till most of the trichomes are amber, less THC more CBN. Vaporizing is supposed to give a more mellow buzz.

question for hobbes or anybody who can help...

so if my plant/plants hermi with out stress,i should just bin them? or is there any use saving the pollen to seed a good plant....would that give me fem seeds? was thinking if i could salvage anything from a genetic hermi plant?

there's a product called Reverse that you spray on your plant should it hermi, that will stop it dead in it's tracks from producing any more hermi flowers, but yes your seeds would all be feminized from that pollination but they would have a strong tendency to hermi too.

if your plant are showing hermi with out stress then they're probably genetic.you could toss em or pick off the "boy parts"and finish them out.unless there are other plants in the garden that you dont want pollinated.

I agree with theman, if the plants hermie without stress there is nothing worth using in another grow - seeds, pollen or clones. Growing out more garbage plants risks pollenating our other good plants and having seeded weaker bud. Using the pollen will only produce seeds that may be more likely to hermie without stress. Unless you're feeding birds the seeds are as usefull as the pollen.

I would test the breeder's strain by flowering out another clone, growing in different mediums during the same grow, grow side by side with a reliable breeder's plant. See if it's really the plant's genetics or if it's something that we're doing as growers to stress the plant. If you germ a couple of plants that flower out to be female, and they both hermie while other strains or other breeder's strains are fine then you know that you have bad genetics.

I used what seemed like GALLONS of Reverse during the Hermie Breeder grow, it would slow down the bananas for a few days then they'd be back in force. I got the feeling that Reverse would work well on plants hermied from stress, but plants that hermie from bad genetics will slow down, but not reverse.

If I come across another hermie I'll hit it with Reverse once or twice, but if the bananas keep comming back the simplest (but time consuming) way to save your grow are tweezers and time - pick each banana off one at a time. I was litterally picking bananas for hours each day, but my only other option was to chop the plants and be out of bud for longer than I'd like to think about.
