Five Alive

Five Alive is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Five Alive high as a true two-sided experience — an energizing cerebral lift arrives first, sliding gradually into a mellow body calm that relaxes without switching you off completely. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Five Alive a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect sweet and citrus up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a citrus finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has long tapered spade-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, fiery orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Five Alive is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Alive family — see 5 Alive and Cherried Alive for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
