The Best High-THCA Flower Strains For Sleep And Relaxation

Not all strains are created equal. While some spark creativity and energy, others help you hit the hay.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely looking for the sleepy options. Maybe you’ve tried other sleep aids like melatonin but didn’t expect the next-day grogginess. If you’re looking for a more natural alternative, high-THCA flower might be your answer.

It’s federally legal, Farm Bill compliant, and converts to THC when heated—delivering the calming effects of THC for a good night’s sleep. VIIA’s high-THCA, exotic hemp flower is a prime example. It’s grown indoors in the USA and undergoes third-party lab testing to ensure purity and potency.

Read on to learn about some of the best high-THCA flower strains from VIIA to make your bedtime routine less stressful and more restful.

With deep purple hues and a wicked 29.54% THCA content, the Purple Sticky Punch strain is an excellent choice for deep sleep.

With dominant terpenes like Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Pinene, you’ll get delicious flavors like fruit, earth, and grape candy alongside calming effects that soothe the mind and body.

This exotic strain is perfect for winding down after a long day. Its high THCA content and Indica dominance promote a body-melting relaxation to ease you into dreamland without feeling too drowsy—perfect for intermediate to seasoned users.

After one hit, you’ll understand this strain’s name. But don’t let that intimidate you, as it’s one of the best sleep strains for beginner to intermediate users.

A cross between Mendocino Purps and Deep Bubba Kush, Nightcap has a THCA content of 25.51%. Although it’s quite high, it’s the lowest on this list. It’s an Indica-dominant hybrid (60:40) that delivers a calming body high without knocking you out. Some users even report a light, energizing effect—ideal for unwinding but staying alert.

With dominant terpenes Pinene, Myrcene, and Limonene, expect sweet notes of chocolate and fruit with similar aromas. If you prefer a more gentle wind-down that doesn’t lead straight to a KO, Nightcap offers just enough relaxation to help ease your way into it.

Let’s not confuse this with the popular Grape Sorbet—an energizing strain known for its uplifting daytime effects. Instead, Grape Sherbert is a cross between Grape Ape and Sherbet strains, bringing you a whopping THCA content of 27.05%.

Packed with terpenes Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, this delicious Indica-dominant hybrid (70/30) delivers creamy grape ice cream flavors with sour citrus.

Expect a perfect solid couch-lock effect when you’re ready to settle in for the night. Grape Sherbert is best for those who want full-body relaxation and a mood boost. It locks you on the couch (or bed) in the best way possible.

For those who prefer a deliciously fruity flavor with full-body effects, Watermelon Zkittlez is your best bet. Its THCA content is wild, reaching an impressive 29.41%.

Although it’s an Indica, it won’t knock you out instantly. It has a gentle, mild effect that produces a deeply relaxing body high with a mentally uplifting cerebral buzz. It’s an excellent choice for unwinding after a stressful day while maintaining light energy—without leaving you too drowsy.

Terpenes include Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene, offering notes of fruit with herbal and peppery undertones. Instead of a heavy couch-lock effect, consider Watermelon Zkittlez more of a gentle guide into bliss.

This is the definition of a powerhouse strain. Permanent Marker has a higher-than-average THCA content, at 30.19%. In other words, it’s best for those with higher tolerances.

A cross between Biscotti, Jealousy, and Sherbet, this potent strain delivers an incredibly euphoric and slightly psychedelic experience. As the effects wind down, it promotes a deep relaxation that turns into drowsiness.

Its terpenes include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, offering a grassy, floral, sweet aroma with similar flavors. If you’re after a truly exotic, high-THCA hemp strain with tingly effects and rich flavors, let Permanent Marker be your hero.
