Looking for daytime pain strain

Hello all, I've been here on RIU for sometime now being silent and taking in knowledge as the days go by I am in the search for a great strain that would do well indoor (4x4,5x5 6-10 plants) for daytime pain help. I've been working for several companies and taking jobs that're hard on my aching knees and back pain. I don't operate heavy machinery and I need to be functional so maybe just a bowl or two before and at lunch. I am not looking looking to be high off my ass just need some great pain relief. Looking for some suggestions that produce fine meds and a decent yield. I know I could always search and search but I want to hear personal experiences, thanks guys & gals.

EDIT: Also looking for a great nightime smoke for insomnia,anxiety, & sleep apnea, I do not enjoy taking sleeping meds and anxiety meds at nighte because it leaves me in a DEEP sleep I need something that has no hangover effect. Sorry if this is in the wrong section :/

For a daytime pain relieving smoke, you should try a high CBD strain like Juanita LaGrimosa, Dancehall, or Pennywise.
They have lower THC levels, so you won't be high off your ass, and the CBD really takes care of all kinds of pain.
These kinds of strains relieve your pain and stress, leaving you with an overall sense of well being.

As for getting to sleep, get a solid indica, and make some edibles out of it.
I say this from my own experience, indica edibles are one of the few things in this world that can actually knock me out.

Good luck

Orange crush if you can find it. Non drowsy, non panicy full pain removal.

Like stated above Indica dominate like Deathstar, afgoo which are some of my favorites.

Best day time strain I've medicated on that was on point was Sour Diesel. Blackjack was the PM strain that best did the job for myself.

Hawaii Maui Waui is always a good choice, I find myself very active, and I just forget about any pain

I use Royal Queen Dancehall and auto seeds Hijack, for daytime and an indica for bedtime. Peace & be kind.

Try tga genetics.Subcool knows his shit and produces slot of nice strains that help me with my neck pain.i like the Cheesequake for daytime and quelled for night.

Oops i meant Querkle

many effects of cannabinoids are biphasic.... a high thc strain can make your nerves tingle and ache horribly if smoked in excess..i grow landrace sativas and had to quit when i had surgery on my hand..cbd is not a cure all,..And thc is still the main focus, cbd is gaining popularity simply because it can be produced legally, which lowers costs and easier access to study, because it doesn't get you high, the older generation is more acceptant. playing to the "healed/medicated not high" ..
thc helps with neuropathic pain cbd helps with muscular. Its the same way with prescription pain pills.. a doctor prescribes the medication that best suits your needs based on what the cause is and location it originates, cbd might be what you need, just saying...though in your post you mention anxiety and sleep apnea?? I think you meant insomnia.....as it seemed you were unable to sleep and sedatives are avoided with sleep apnea as they relax the throat muscles and can collapse....

So if what your actually asking is a strain for anxiety and insomnia a cbd rich plant will do you good in that respect
but for daytime a high thc with moderate cbd levels will be best..cbg is great to throw in if you are able..mango and lemon sativas are great pain relievers for me. Terps other than the cannabinoids will also play a role
