About 5th Element

Blackberry crossed with All Spark OG produced 5th Element, an 80% indica dominant strain that does not hold back. THC averages around 25%, with a moderate CBD level alongside it, so this is not a beginner’s smoke by any measure.

Flavour is pine and earth with a citrus lift on the back end. It is clean rather than harsh, which is unusual at this potency. The aroma is closer to walking through conifer forest than anything sweet, with the same citrus note threading through it, and it stays pleasant in the room rather than turning acrid.

Onset is fast, usually within minutes, and the experience runs about one to two hours. That is shorter than some strains but the intensity makes up for the length. The effects are classically indica: heavy, relaxed and sleepy, with a euphoric stretch in the middle. Most people who keep it in rotation reach for it in the evening rather than before anything that needs concentration.

Growing 5th Element Feminized Seeds

These are photoperiod feminized seeds. The plant stays in veg indefinitely under 18/6 and only starts flowering once you drop the light cycle to 12/12, which means the final size and structure of the plant are decisions you make rather than something the genetics decide for you.

That control matters more than usual with this strain, because it is not the most forgiving plant in the tent. It rewards a grower who reads their plants and punishes one who does not. If you have a few runs behind you and are comfortable managing feeding and canopy work, this is where the photoperiod format pays off —a longer veg means a larger frame and considerably more flower than a short-cycle plant of the same genetics could carry.

• Veg three to five weeks depending on the height you want, it stays medium naturally
• Top and use LST to spread the canopy; the indica structure responds well to being opened up
• A SCROG net suits it if you are running a small number of plants for maximum return

It grows well indoors or outdoors and adapts to either without complaint, so the choice comes down to your space rather than the plant’s preference.

What to Expect

Flowering takes 50 to 60 days after the flip, on top of your veg period. Indoor growers can expect around 350g per square metre from a properly filled canopy.

Height stays medium, so it fits a standard tent without constant management. Difficulty is moderate to high, this one is better as your second or third grow than your first.
