Daytona 5000

Daytona 5000 is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 21% and 27%, pairing raw strength with a 0.3% CBD content. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Daytona 5000 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 Daytona 5000 a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Daytona 5000 has a distinctive citrus 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. Each exhale leaves a citrus-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Daytona 5000 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.
