Myrcene (earthy, musky, herbal; associated with body relaxation and sedative qualities); Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery, adds diesel-forward character); Limonene (citrus brightness, mood-elevating, prevents overwhelming earthiness)

Linalool (floral, lavender-scented, contributes calming properties); Humulene (earthy, woody undertones, may suppress appetite); Pinene (fresh, piney notes, promotes alertness)

Euphoric mood elevation; physical relaxation progressing to deep body comfort; enhanced sensory appreciation (particularly music and food); mental clarity maintained throughout; creative thinking and conversational fluency; appetite stimulation (emerges 60-90 minutes post-consumption); eventual drowsiness 2-3 hours after consumption at higher doses

Smoked/Vaporized: 2-4 hours total, with peak effects lasting 60-90 minutes; Edible/Ingestible: 4-8 hours total, with peak effects lasting 2-4 hours. Comedown is typically gentle without abrupt crash.

Onset within 5-15 minutes when vaporized or smoked. Initial cerebral effects: gentle pressure behind eyes, auditory enhancement, gradual mood elevation. 20-30 minutes: euphoric clarity, fluid creative thoughts, enhanced sensory appreciation. 30-45 minutes: physical relaxation begins in shoulders and neck, spreads through body. Transition feels smooth rather than abrupt. Peak effects at 45-90 minutes: pronounced body relaxation with maintained mental clarity.

Dry mouth and eyes (very common); dizziness if consumed rapidly or excessively; anxiety or paranoia in predisposed individuals or at very high doses (less common than with high-THC sativas); couch-lock sedation at higher doses, particularly in myrcene-dominant batches

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

High-energy physical activities (exercise, dancing, intensive outdoor activities); complex cognitive tasks requiring sustained detailed attention (financial work, technical coding, academic writing); morning or early daytime use for those with full schedules; any situation requiring sharp reflexes or operation of vehicles/machinery

Multiple breeding lineages exist under the 5G name. Twenty20 Mendocino version: GMO (Chemdawg D × Girl Scout Cookies) × The Whip (Island Mountain Strawberry Kush × Sour Snow). 3rd Coast Genetics version: Wifi 43 × Pure Michigan. Originated in Mendocino County, CA (Twenty20) and Michigan (3rd Coast). Developed to maintain GMO's potency and resin production while reducing flowering time.

THC: 20-28% typical range, with exceptional batches testing 30-32%; CBD: Less than 1%, often below 0.5%; CBG: 0.2-1.0% depending on harvest timing; THCV, CBC, CBN present in trace quantities (typically under 0.5%). High-resin phenotypes yield 18-22% in cured hydrocarbon extractions. Note: Batches with 2.0-3.0% total terpenes often produce more pronounced effects than higher-THC batches with lower terpene content.

GMO/Garlic Cookies (direct parent; shares savory aromatics and heavy resin; longer flowering time, more pronounced sedation, stronger garlic-diesel profile); Wifi 43 (alternative parent in 3rd Coast version; similar potency and balanced effects; leans more cerebral with citrus terpene emphasis); Gorilla Glue #4 (similar resin production and potency; more chocolate-coffee notes, slightly more immediate sedation); Purple Punch (comparable body relaxation and fruity undertones; more dessert-forward with grape-berry notes, stronger sedation); Wedding Cake (similar potency and balanced effects; emphasizes vanilla-cream sweetness, slightly more energizing)

Moderate to moderate-high cultivation difficulty; relatively hardy once established with good pest resistance; requires attention to detail for optimal results; dense foliage and heavy trichome production increase mold susceptibility in humid environments; requires regular defoliation and strong air circulation; vigilant monitoring needed for powdery mildew and botrytis in final two weeks; not recommended for first-time growers

56-65 days (8-9 weeks) indoors for Twenty20 version; 8-10 weeks for 3rd Coast version; mid-October outdoor harvest in Northern Hemisphere temperate climates

Moderate to above-average yield; Indoors: 400-550 grams per square meter with proper training; Outdoors: 600-900 grams per plant in optimal conditions; bred to balance yield with quality rather than maximize production

Medium height indoors (3-5 feet with training); can stretch significantly outdoors (6-10 feet); moderate to heavy branching producing bushy structure; responds well to training techniques (topping, LST, SCROG); more compact and manageable than pure GMO

Visual: Dense, tightly formed buds with abundant visible trichomes creating frosted appearance; light to forest green color with purple accents; vibrant orange pistils; Aroma: Immediately apparent pungent aroma (diesel fuel, garlic, earth, subtle fruit); complex and layered scent profile; Structure: Dense without being hard or compressed, slight give when squeezed; Trichomes: Capitate-stalked trichomes appearing milky white to light amber under magnification (70-90% cloudy, 10-30% amber ideal); Moisture: Slightly sticky from resin but not wet; 55-65% relative humidity ideal
