5 Alive Cannabis Seeds
Like a splash of citrus juice on a summer morning, 5 Alive brings a zesty punch of good vibes straight to your grow tent. This balanced hybrid—believed to be a cross between Grapefruit and some hush-hush genetics—is all about bright flavour, upbeat energy, and a smooth, mellow comedown. With an even blend of Sativa and Indica traits and THC levels hovering around 15–20%, it’s a solid all-rounder that’ll keep both chill-seekers and daytime dabblers happy.
Flavour & Smell
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.
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. If you’re new to cannabis, start slow—it’s got some kick—but overall, it’s a pretty forgiving strain most folks vibe with.
How to Grow It
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.
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.
Matty’s Tip:
“I’ve had great results topping this strain early and using some gentle LST. She responds like a dream—before you know it, you’ve got 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.
What’s Inside
The terp profile leans bright and happy:
-
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
THC usually sits between 15%–20%, with low CBD. It’s strong enough to feel, but not so punchy you’ll regret your choices.
Good For
Thanks to its balanced effects, 5 Alive’s a go-to for lifting your spirits, sparking ideas, and taking the edge off stress or tension. That bit of physical ease also helps with muscle tightness or post-work fatigue, without turning your brain to mush.
