5 Alive
5 Alive
Also known as: Five Alive
Overview
5 Alive is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created through a unique three-way cross of Bubblegum, Orange Juice, and Grape Pie strains. This juicy delight has been flying under the radar since her release by expert breeder Cannarado Genetics, though she's definitely worthy of notoriety as an overachiever, scoring the highest marks in taste, aroma, beauty, and effects. The strain contains up to 29% THC and 0.8% CBD, creating an intense head rush with a composition of 75% sativa and 25% indica genetics.
5 Alive features tight forest-green buds with orange and chocolate brown pistils, displaying sativa genetics with tall and slender growth and stretched out conical shaped flowers that are tight and sticky, with ample amounts of resin and often taking on a beautiful plum purple coloring. The strain delivers a burst of tropical fruity aromas including citrus notes like orange juice, with limonene terpenes creating sweet lime zest and fruity melon flavors that transport users to a tropical beach location, described as a head turning, tropical fruit salad aroma that is fruity and floral with passion fruit, mango, berries, and citrus. 5 Alive feminized seeds are among the rarest on the market because most dispensaries don't carry them, and when they do have her, she sells out fast.

Growing Information
5 Alive feminized seeds are ideal for beginners as the plant is highly resistant to stress and can handle an unstable environment, making it perfect for novice growers while offering a rewarding cultivation journey for both seasoned growers and beginners. The flowering time is 8 to 10 weeks with yields of 12 to 17.5 ounces per m² for indoor growing and 21 to 24.5 ounces per plant outdoors, with indoor yields averaging 14-17oz/m² and up to 450g/m² possible. Most plants grow from 4 to 5 feet tall indoors, though outdoors under ideal conditions they can reach up to 9 feet, with thick and sturdy main stems and lateral branches needing no additional support. The strain thrives in a stable climate with daytime temperatures ranging from 70-80°F (21-27°C) and slightly cooler nighttime conditions. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully as the tightly packed leaves are prone to moisture getting trapped which can lead to mold, requiring regular trimming and pruning to ensure proper ventilation.
