Five-O Strain
Five-O by Black Skull Seeds is a feminized, indica-dominant hybrid created from Power Plant, Jack Herer and Afghani genetics. It is one of the quicker-finishing strains in the Black Skull Seeds range and has a fairly old-school feel compared with many of the sweeter dessert strains around today.
Black Skull Seeds lists Five-O as roughly 70% indica and 30% sativa, with THC levels usually placed in the 15–20% range. That gives it a balanced level of potency while still keeping plenty of character from its mixed genetic background.
Musky, Floral and Citrus Aromas
Five-O has an aroma profile that can vary slightly between phenotypes. Some examples lean more towards musky and floral notes, while others bring out a brighter, hazier citrus character.
There is also a spicy edge to the flavour, which works well with the earthier Afghani influence. The result is a profile that feels more classic than fashionable, especially when compared with the candy, cream and tropical profiles found in many newer hybrids.
The Power Plant and Jack Herer side of the genetics helps give Five-O a little more freshness and lift, while the Afghani influence adds depth and weight to the overall profile.
Classic Indica-Dominant Genetics
Five-O is described as producing a strong effect with an uplifting and energetic side coming through from its sativa genetics. Its indica dominance adds a more grounded character, giving the strain a mix of both sides of its family tree.
The genetic background is probably the most interesting part of Five-O for collectors. Power Plant and Jack Herer are both well-established names, while Afghani genetics bring in one of the classic building blocks used in cannabis breeding for decades.
Black Skull Seeds developed this strain using a particularly quick Power Plant phenotype crossed with its Jack Herer x Afghani hybrid.
Our Take
At SeedMasters.com, we think Five-O is a good example of what Black Skull Seeds does well: taking recognised genetics and combining them into something straightforward and distinctive.
The Power Plant, Jack Herer and Afghani lineage gives it a strong classic background, while the mix of musky, floral, citrus and spicy aromas gives Five-O an identity of its own.
For collectors who prefer traditional cannabis genetics over heavily dessert-inspired modern hybrids, Five-O is certainly one of the more interesting options in the Black Skull Seeds collection.
