Flavour & Aroma: The Full Fruit Bowl
Once these girls hit flowering, your grow room’s gonna smell like someone’s peeled a whole fruit bowl. Think sweet lime, tangy orange, and just a whisper of floral sugariness. Give the buds a gentle squeeze, and you might catch a bit of earthy backbone underneath that bright top-end—a little grounding for the zesty chaos.
And the taste? Dead set delicious. The inhale brings a clean, citrusy zap—almost like sipping on a fancy fruit spritzer—followed by a smooth, slightly earthy exhale that keeps things balanced. It’s fresh, it’s crisp, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Terpenes:
- Limonene – for that citrus aroma and mood boost
- Myrcene – brings a touch of earthy calm
- Pinene – adds a breath of fresh pine and mental clarity
Matty’s Take: “This one tastes like a cheeky summer getaway. It’s all bright citrus up front and then a sneaky, earthy hug on the back end.”
Effects & What to Expect
5 Alive is the kind of strain that’ll have you smiling for no reason and suddenly full of ideas. It kicks off with a happy, focused buzz—great for getting stuck into something creative or just having a laugh. Then a gentle body relaxation rolls in—not couch-lock territory, just enough to smooth out the edges. Perfect for daytime hangs, social sessions, or solo projects where you still want to stay sharp. It’s the kind of buzz that makes even weeding the garden feel like a beach party. It’s an energetic uplift with a smooth comedown, so you’ll never have to worry about a heavy couch-lock.
How to Grow It: Easy Like Sunday Morning
This one’s a beauty to grow and doesn’t throw too many tantrums. Whether you’re going indoors or outside, 5 Alive prefers a warm, sunny setup but isn’t overly picky.
Feeding & Climate:
Indoors, aim for 40–60% humidity during veg, then dial it down to 30–40% once flowering kicks in. Keep your soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0, and feed it right—more nitrogen during veg, then switch to phosphorus and potassium for flower.
Training & Structure:
She responds brilliantly to topping and some gentle LST, leading to a lovely flat canopy just stacked with bud sites. Expect flowering to wrap up in around 8 to 9 weeks, with compact light-green buds covered in frosty trichomes and bright orange hairs that make it a real looker. Outdoors, if she’s got room to stretch and sunshine to soak up, she’ll grow a bit taller and push out even more flower.
Grow Log: Inside My Tent
| Phase/Week | Key Action | Matty’s Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Veg Week 3 | Top above 4th node; begin LST to open the core. | Set the frame now and you’ll thank yourself in trim week. |
| Flower Week 2–3 | Install trellis; light defol for airflow. | Don’t scalp her—just clear the choke points. |
| Flower Week 5–6 | Peak bulking; monitor EC and RH closely. | She’s not a heavy feeder—keep nutrients consistent, not crazy. |
| Flower Week 8–9 | Ripeness check; aroma spikes; support tops. | Let her finish—cloudy with a kiss of amber is the sweet spot. |
| Harvest | Dense, frosty colas; sticky trim. | Dry 10–14 days @ 18–20°C / 55–60% RH; cure slow for full fruit notes. |
🔬 Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds in the Room)
- PPFD: She thrives at 700-900 µmol/m²/s in peak flower.
- VPD: A typical range of 1.0–1.2 kPa early bloom → 1.2–1.4 kPa late.
- EC (coco/hydro): ~1.4–1.6 mS/cm late veg → ~1.6–1.9 peak bloom, then taper.
- Smell Control: Her citrus is loud—a fresh carbon filter is your best mate.
