5th Element

A cross between Blackberry and All Spark OG, the 5th Element strain (cultivar) is an indica-dominant hybrid containing 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. The strain’s THC tests at around 15%-22%, while its CBD level tests below 1%. The 5th Element strain is medium-sized with dense, moss-green buds covered in orange hairs and sticky trichomes. 5th Element has been reported to help manage stress, chronic pain, and anxiety.

The 5th Element strain has an initial aroma of diesel, which quickly morphs into an earthy, citrus, berry flavor and smell. Like its parent strains, 5th Element can cause cerebral effects that are felt as a light pressure in the head that relaxes both the body and mind to induce a calming and long-lasting high. 5th Element is both challenging to grow and difficult to find.

The 5th Element strain is indica dominant and was created from a cross between Blackberry and All Spark OG strains. This combination creates 5th Element’s aromas of earth, berries, and citrus, and when smoked, it can result in a highly calming and relaxing high. Due to its calming and relaxing effect and terpene content, 5th Element can be used for various medicinal applications, such as treating stress, anxiety, or insomnia.

Growing

5th Element plants are small- to medium-sized and can be grown indoors or outdoors. Depending on the conditions the strain is grown in and the technique used, such as the “sea of green (SOG),” yields can be improved. However, 5th Element is known to produce below-average yields. The strain should be grown in an ideal environment to thrive, making it a somewhat tricky plant to grow, especially for beginners.
