5G
5G is a name shared by three distinct, unrelated hybrid breeding projects, each utilizing unique genetic lineages that result in varying flavor profiles and physical characteristics.
About 5G
The name 5G refers to three separate cannabis projects with no shared genetic signal.
Soma’s Sacred Seeds version crosses Purple Caper Seeds’ 4G—which includes Gelato #45, GG4, and GSC—with Lavender OG. This iteration combines glue-like funk with floral accents and a sweet-and-sour Afghani flavor.
Twenty20 Mendocino’s 5G pairs GMO with The Whip!. This project aimed to preserve the savory, gassy profile of the GMO parent while shortening its flowering time and reducing its stretch. The resulting profile features earth and overripe fruit, though the GMO funk remains the most prominent note.
3rd Coast Genetics released a version of 5G derived from a cross of WiFi 43 and the #7 selection of Pure Michigan. This version is noted for a profile leaning toward earthy, nutty sweetness.
Community reports regarding the effects of 5G are inconsistent, as reviews rarely identify the breeder. Experiences range from happy relaxation and focus to sleepiness and euphoria. Because the genetics vary significantly between the three versions, the specific effects and sensory experience depend entirely on the breeder.
Plant characteristics
Soma’s version produces large plants with tightly stacked colas. Twenty20 Mendocino’s version can develop deep purple coloring in the flowers as they ripen.
