Growing Medical to treat ADHD

Hey guys, I'm a young chap (1 who has been on Adderall for the last 4 years to combat ADHD that I have had since I can remember (Though not diagnosed until age 14)

I'm sick of using these meds that leave me pissed off, high strung, and unable to sleep. I'm also sick of paying Rx companies over $450 for a 90 day supply of low dose XR Adderall ($6 a dose for 15 mg, GENERICS!!!!) I started smoking about 2 years ago but didn't see the real benefits of using pot to combat my ADD until I moved up to college and was exposed to a dealer who strictly moves Sativa's. Wow. A few puffs from my Magic Flight and I'm relaxed, focused, not over-energized, and it doesn't kill my sleep habits! (In college this is very, very important lol)

I want to grow 4 plants next year and plan on getting the seeds from Nirvana. I have chosen Bubblelicious Auto Fem (Indica) and Lemon OG Haze Auto Fem (Sativa). I'd like to grow 2 of each plant to stay under 4 total plants, but if it is unrealistic to produce enough medicine off of these 4 plants I would consider planting more. I think I'll be looking at 2g/week of the Sativa and 1.5g/week of the Indica for personal use, and wouldn't mind having extra to make butter out of the indica and tincture out of the Sativa.

Little info: These autos grow very short and have a very short plant to harvest window, making them best for my grow. I will be starting seedlings inside for 2 weeks then moving them to 2 20 gallon tubs buried in the ground (So 2 plants/tub). I will be growing in a dirt medium consisting of black top soil, dried dairy cow manure, small amount of lime (ph balance) and some straw or other organic matter to give the soil some "Fluff". I live in Southern WI/Northern IL so these plants will be going out June 1 at 2 weeks of age and should be ready to harvest around August.

So:
1. Is 4-6 Oz realistic off two outdoor auto flowering Sativa's in this climate provided they are checked on and watered 2/3 times weekly? Same for the Indica's in the amount of 3-5 Oz

2. Is dried dairy manure enough nutes for these guys or should I consider adding some commercial blended potash to my mix?

Thanks a ton guys, I know I'm a rookie and this is a long post but it will be crucial for me to get enough medicine to last me until the next harvest season (Being ~ one year later)

I would be leary of autos due to potenacy and yield or grow a bunch of them. Your lucky if you get an ounce off an Auto. I'm glad you found MMJ and I have a few friends with the same diagnosis that helps them all so .
Generally you should only do one plant per pot. A 5 gal pot is plenty for autos. As a new grower I suggest you get premade soil and read up on amending soil as you go. Good luck and welcome to RIU. There is plenty of help here.

if your meds dont work for your ADHD , theres something wrong
talk to your doctor, and slowly wean yourself off them.

if you dont actually have adhd, medications tend to have the opposite effect on people who actually need them,
the effect is more like being on cocaine.

ya if you dont have adhd and you do adhd specific drugs its a rush literally lol

i think adhd is a pretty wide range of symptoms and many people almost all are misdiagnosed with it , there are however people who really do have it,and its not a comfortable illness to have at all

Have you researched the best strains for you condition? some medical issues need low CBD and some need high CBD.

Hi, been treating my ADHD with weed for about 15years now, was not diagnosed til my 30'safter a long stint in hospital for chemical burns the nurses asked if I have ever been tested for it.

First thing using cannabis for medication makes it very hard to find employment, have been
unemployed for 3 years. I am tool maker, fabricator, mechanic by trade, here in Australia for companies
to get government accreditation they have to do mandatory drug testing before employment.

The ADHD medication aderal or dex are not required everyday, somedays they work the next its like
a fire in the head, dont use them everyday you will only get addicted, save them for occasions when your gonna
need some help, for me thats family events, and socialising.

Finding a strain that works for you is a battle but well worth it, I am just about to start growing again after a 6 year
break, its a long yarn if ya wanna hear it let me know. Will be starting from scratch but know where to start this time
a mild mid strength sativa, lots will tell you get a couchlock indica in my book you may as well take the medication and antidepressants
they give ya. If ya wanna sit on the couch and do nothing.

A friend had been growing my strain for me the last few years, that was originally a cross between a haze/flo and a local
strain called gold bud. Was a very active strain, most important still lets you be you. In the afternoon would mix a in some indica
by crash out time it was a 50/50 mix

Being unemployed the only way to afford cannabis for medicine is selling my dexies, it pays for 2.5 ozzies a month.

My missus was totally against weed when I meet her, now she sees the difference in our quality of life with me using cannabis
for medication, instead of prescription she is now a full on weed warrior.
