5th Element

Elemental Seeds bred 5th Element in the early 2000s from indica-heavy genetics, aiming for potency with some aromatic complexity. Our record lists Black Domina, Raspberry Cough and Blackberry as parents. THC is recorded at 15% from a single reading, below the 18-24% range the source suggests.

Myrcene leads at 1.06%, which is a high figure, followed by caryophyllene at 0.52%, limonene at 0.34%, pinene at 0.26% and humulene at 0.17%. A myrcene-dominant panel like this lines up with the earthy and pine flavor tags, along with sweet, berry, diesel and citrus. Effects are tagged tingly, sleepy and calm, with dry eyes the noted side effect.

It reads as an unabashed night-time strain: heavy-bodied, quiet and meant for winding down. If you have trouble with dry eyes, plan on eye drops and water. A lower recorded THC can suit people who want a sedating profile without the intensity of modern 25%-plus flower.

Batch tests will vary, so use the number on the package as your real guide when choosing a dose.
