I am fairly conversant with many of the factors that might affect your result. It's entirely possible, or even probable, that the properties of a given crop are more dependent on the grower than the strain.
Or, at least that variations in technique will make predictions difficult. Besides, unless the dispensary has a rock-solid supply line, names don't really mean a lot. Tradition is that a grower is free to name a new hybrid whatever they want, and further, well-regarded strains tend to have a lot of copy-cats.
The major factor is time in the flowering phase of the growing. Different strains have different maturing characteristics, but the principles are the same. Some mature faster, some slower, and faster maturation means more $ for the grower, because over a bit of a time frame, a couple of weeks over several crops means an extra crop over a slower-maturing strain. So, the temptation is always there to harvest early - as soon as it's salable, if commerce is the biggest influence.
What happens is that there are 3 important cannabanoids in play, and around 80 others that all have various effects in their myriad combinations and ratios. THC, which most people are at least aware of, and CBD and CBN are what I've read are the most important. Earlier harvest means a higher ratio of CBD to the other two, THC peaks between these two other side-chains, and CBN rises as THC content starts to fall.
CBD tends to make the product more "electric", fast-acting and stimulating, whereas CBN makes it more "dopey" and soporific.
I recently read that CBD is very effective as a pain-reliever. In fact, I believe it is available as a stand-alone 'medication.' It's the THC that stimulates appetite.
Back in the day, I always preferred the CBN-heavy "creeper" pot, which I found relaxing and dreamy. I found that the other end of the scale left me feeling too tense and jangled to eat for a while afterwards. That was years ago, though, so I'm not exactly current with the marketplace, but the science is the same.
A bit of preliminary research on your part might at least get you headed in the right direction, in terms of strains - previous caveats in mind. Find out what the dispensary typically offers - White Rhino, Big Bud, God, Northern Lights and a MYRIAD of others are some of the names you might encounter. And more all the time.
Finally, I would suggest that you also try some ingestibles, which is a lot easier process by which to administer the 'meds.' And easy does it, until you find what your daughter's tolerance might be. It is POWERFUL today - at the higher end, at least 20 times as strong as what virtually every smoker in North American started with, back in the 60's and early 70's - outdoor Mexican field crops.
Best of luck!
