Indica Dominant Hybrid - 90% Indica / 10% SativaTHC: 25%

Blue Lightning is a heavily indica dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the beloved Blueberry X Northern Lights strains. If you're looking for the perfect nighttime strain with an insanely delicious flavor, you've found it. Blue Lightning packs hard-hitting sedative effects that are perfect for helping you kick back at night when sleep just won't come. You'll feel a super strong rush of euphoria almost immediately after your first toke, launching you into a heady and unfocused state that is deeply relaxing. Soon, your body will begin to settle into a heavy relaxation that leaves you totally sedated and couch-locked. Soon, these effects will turn sleepy, lulling you into a peaceful state that will have you dozing in minutes. Thanks to these heavy effects and its high 22-26% average THC level, Blue Lightning is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as insomnia chronic pain, depression, muscle spasms or cramps, and fatigue. This bud has a super sweet and spicy blueberry earth flavor with a touch of herbs upon exhale. The aroma is very sweet and earthy with a blueberry overtone that will leave your mouth watering.

Another is blue god

I have pretty bad insomnia too. Seems the older I get the more miserable it makes my life in general. I started looking for the same type of thing you're trying to find.
So far I've grown and tried:
-----Northern lights
-----Pure kush
-----Night queen
-----Black domina
The best I found that helped me was black domina. In fact I still have some seeds from my domina grow that I hope I can get to germinate
so I can do another grow better than my first one.
There were a couple of things that others have touched on already that I have found helpful.
1) Don't be afraid to let your flower cycle go longer than breeder/seed bank recommendations. If you do a staggered harvest it helps you find
what works best for you.
2) Edibles- They seem to give me a "heavier" stoned feeling than smoking that just seems a little more relaxing. It also lasts ALOT longer than smoking so I tend to stay asleep for longer periods.

I'm prone to anxiety and I feel edibles might make me have a panic attack.
So to be honest I am Surprised when you say edibles have worked for you since generally it's supposed to be anxiety triggering.

It's about dose, edibles gaping, smoking, it doesn't matter.

Funny when my anxiety is really high I cut back to 2/3 of my normal dose otherwise it can ramp it up and it's good at least on my strain. You have to figure out the root cause of insomnia and treat it that way otherwise it's a crap shoot. There are many causes of insomnia many more than I am aware of but it's about doing your homework and applying knowledge to figure it out.

I'd really love to know , could you compare its sedating effect to something like Valium or Xanax ?

You really need to try a whole bunch of strains and find what works best for you.

Heavy Indicas is the way to go. Also consider strains with higher pinene content such to not give you as bad of a could heady, or cbd cannabinoid mix for less anxiety. (Or mix a heavy strong indica with a little bit of cbd bud.)

There are a whole bunch of knock you out pain reliving strains that can replicate/replace the effects of prescription pills. You just have the find the ones that work for you. I mean strains where you smoke it, and 15 minutes later your eyes can't stay open. (even with a ridiculous tolerance).

Look for afghanica / indica strains. Mazar, Afghan, Hindu, Death Star, Death Bubba, Hashplant, Northern Lights, Granddaddy Purple, Master Kush, etc.

Hmm don't mind me asking but how could it have a sedative stone being a 40% sativa ?

I'm going by smoke reports and reviews, mine is still in veg.

"A potent body high comes next, lulling you into a completely couch-locked state that has you totally immovable for hours and hours on end. Thanks to these effects and its super potent 20-28% average THC level, Slurricane is the perfect choice for treating patients suffering from migraines or headaches chronic pain, cramps or muscle spasms and..."

Third bowl or so of The White from some old Raskal S1s does it for me. Bud generally doesn't put me to sleep unless I smoke so much of a body heavy indica that I just pass into a dozy stupor. Not really sleeping but not really awake either. Once I hit that point, I can usually go right to bed if I want.
