#2: Purple Arrow

If you have done any research on Purple Arrow or looked at any reviews, everyone is having great success. Helping take away discomfort from Fibromyalgia suffers and other pain suffers alike. People are even using Purple Arrow to replace  big pharma drugs like morphine and muscle relaxers. Also been said for help with depression and anxiety.

This strain I couldn’t really find much information on out there but if you are looking for seed for purple arrow, you may be in luck if you have a green thumb. I found out that purple arrow is a cross of Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. So if you get your hands on some regular seeds you could breed your own or at least try. Just make sure you read up on breeding so you don’t get seed where you don’t want them.

Purple arrow is 85% Indica and 15% Sativa. With 17% THC 24% THC and CBD around 3% – 4%. With an earthy, sweet, pungent, floral aroma. It takes between 45 – 60 Days to flower.

So if you can get your hands on this strain and you need pain relief from ranging moderate to sever pain this should be a staple in your medicine cabinet.

4# Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel gets it’s name from its buds giving off a fuel like smell. Sour D is dates back to the 90s. Being as cannabis in the 90s was an under ground market tracking the lineage has a lot of people guessing. Saying how it’s a cross between Chemdog and one of these choices, Super Skunk, and Norther Lights. Or possible even a combination of the three.

Never the less this beautiful strain of cannabis has medial patients that try it make sure its always on hand. From people suffering from daily chronic pain, anxiety and so much more. It’s one of those strains you can smoke day or night. If you are even looking for a strain to help transition from chemical prescription, so you can get you life back this may be one for you.

    #5 CBDurban

    CBDurban from Canuk seed has me wanting to try it myself. This strain is ideal for those suffering form chronic pain, muscle spasms, Epilepsy, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, and Ulcerative Colitis. It also can act as an anti-convulsant for those living with Epilepsy and other seizure disorders.

You can flower this girl in 60 to 70 days. Once cured you can enjoy the flavor of CBDurban as a sweet, licorice taste and enjoy a relaxing sedative buzz.

    #6 Tutankhamon ( A.K.A King Tut)

    King Tut is a heavy hitter, with THC ranging from 23% up into the 30% or more depending on phenotype and grow conditions. This strain is not usually recommended for new smokers. If you are a new smoker , toss some in your favorite pipe , take a few tokes and see how you feel.

    King Tut, I have found to be good pain reliever a when used as a topical when infused in grape seed oil.

    Just a note to anyone going to make infused oils for topical use. When looking for an oil to use look for base oils typically used in massage. The reason for this is that using some oils like coconut oil, doesn’t really penetrate deep to the muscles and is really only good for surface issues. It will work for some pain relief just not as effective.

    Tutankhamon is a decedent of AK-47 with the sour skunky smell and a hint of fresh fruit and flower when smoked giving you a nice daytime sativa effect. Known also for helping with pain, depression, uplifting, and opening up ones creative side if your not to ripped.

    If you are growing this for yourself king tut from true north seed is a great mother plant. As she give you tons of branches to clip off for clones. It is classified a medium difficulty plant to grow. She stays fairly shot stretch under 36” tall with beautiful sweet fruit smelling nugs. In proper growing conditions you should be able to get 1 oz to 3 oz per sq ft in 7 to 9 weeks of flowering. If your not keeping a mother plant you will really need to train this plan as soon a you can. You will probably want to look into the grow technique SCROG as she can get out of control with all the branches
