5th Element
Also known as: Fifth Element, The 5th Element
Overview
5th Element is an indica-dominant hybrid created by Elemental Seeds through a cross of Blackberry and All Spark OG strains. The strain is typically cited as 70-80% indica-dominant, combining the sweet and fruity flavors from Blackberry with the rich and potent genetic background from All Spark OG. Fifth Element's flowers are typically medium-sized with a chunky, tapered formation, maintaining an indica-typical structure with a dense core and compact, curly leaves. These leaves are a mossy green and are twisted through with curly orange pistils. A dusting of translucent white trichomes covers the inner and outer surfaces of these buds, accounting for their potency and making them very sticky.
This strain is known for its sedative effects and has earned a steady following among night-time consumers who prefer a calm, grounded effect without an overly racy onset. 5th Element produces huge yields of sticky buds that feature a powerful earthy, lemony smell and flavor. The aromatic signature straddles dessert-fruit sweetness and diesel-pine depth, with dark green to purple-tinged flowers and heavy resin coverage. The combination creates aromas of earth, berries, and citrus, and when smoked, results in a highly calming and relaxing high.

Growing Information
The strain should be grown in an ideal environment to thrive, making it a somewhat tricky plant to grow, especially for beginners. 5th Element undergoes a flowering time of between 55-60 days (8-9 weeks). At the end of this time window, plants cultivated in both indoor and outdoor settings will deliver the goods. They are of a height of 5-8 feet and offer a medium to high yield of 400-500 gr/m² indoors and 450-550 gr/plant outdoors. 5th Element is said to be a hungry strain that keeps growers busy with nutrients and fertilizers. However, this is by no means a negative trait. This fast and frantic feeding pace pays off at harvest time, as 5th Element plants boom in size because of it. The strain requires a warm, sunny climate and is well adapted for areas that have hot, long summers. They can be adapted to most growing conditions but best grow under well-lit conditions that contain sufficient sunlight. Indoor operations can result in higher yields when trained with the "sea of green (SOG)" technique.
