5 Alarm

5 Alarm is a sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa/30% indica) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 16-22% on average, with 0.6% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The 5 Alarm high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. Underneath the mental charge, a mellow body calm keeps things comfortable, taking the edge off without ever slowing you down. These combined effects make 5 Alarm a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic fatigue and low mood, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

5 Alarm has a distinctive diesel and chocolate flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, curly amber hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, 5 Alarm offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home 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 Alarm family — see 9 Alarm and Smoke Alarm for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
