Top strain. The batch I just had from Penn health group was 33% THC, and around 1.6% Terps, and it’s pretty heavy and really good, but the last batch I had from Insta was 36% THC and over 2% Terps, and one of the best batches of Grass I’ve ever smoked. Much like the GG 4, but with a bit more earthy taste and headier effect to it. it will leave you stuck to the couch, and put you down. This one does have a creeper effect and will sneak up on you. Definitely recommend this for around bedtime, since I like a heavy Indica to knock me TF out.

Blue roots in WA calls it blue glue. Fitting because it seems to have a pearlescent blue over the green. Very frosty bright nugs scream “I’m sticky!”. Smell is mouthwatering of stinky chocolate skunkiness. Taste is chocolate hash. Effects are heavy relaxation with a big scoop of euphoria. Creativity is definitely there. Excellent for gaming. I recommend myself to get it again.

OMG this is a wham bam thank you ma'am strain. We smoke a lot. Like... a lot. This fucks us up. It puts me to sleep every single time, but it's a longggg high, so sleep doesn't come right away which I love. When we don't have a lot of money and need to get a bang for our buck, this is what I buy.

Just got out of the Air Force and my back has been destroyed for about 3 years. I was tired of doctors throwing pills at me, getting shots and having my nerves burnt off in the majority of my back. Honestly they all stopped working to help my pain after about a month. My first day out I bought some of this stuff and obviously got high as fuck. I mean REALLY high. The THC content I got was 23% but not smoking for a few years didn’t help. So be careful if you’re a lightweight like myself. After the initial “FUCK YEAH IM OUT” I now only use it right before I go to bed so I don’t wake up every hour or more due to back pain. Let me tell you. Once I got the right “dosage”, if you will, I have had the best sleep ever in YEARS. My constant fire and stabbing throughout my back melted away after about 10 minutes. It was unreal. My first night I woke up I cried like a baby because I slept that well. That’s how good this stuff is. I don’t wake up too foggy, and I’m energized enough the next day to work 12 hours with no issues. 100/10 great for back pain and knocking you out for bed.

Having tried GG1 and GG4 several times, I was surprised to find out much different Gorilla Glue #5 was to its predecessors. The genetic makeup of this plant truly speaks wonders to its character, with Chem's Sister and Chocolate Diesel already raining strong in the THC levels. The buds were of small and mid range, but packing a tight flower exterior, almost like holding slightly softer Moon Rocks. The flavor is 100% as described, with the word "pungent" being almost an understatement. In person, I would describe this to be along the level of a wet, planty, earthy, tang that sort of leaves you wondering if the exhale will be similar. Upon cracking open the flower, the smell of tangy/fuel/sweet completely engrossed the previous smells, making for a delightful adventure for my nostrils. This reminded me almost of a diesel type strain, but I could tell it wasn't. Smoking the flower via Raw Papers, the flavor of the tangy earth really soaked through, leaving a nice aftertaste full of earthy yumminess. Halfway through my 1 gram joint, I debated putting it out because the high was beginning to set in at a pace that was unexpected. However, I noticed that it never creeped over the silver lining into the realm of "too high", so I kept on keeping on. At the end of my 1 gram joint, I sat down to write this review and felt extra-stimulated in wanting to write a descriptive review. It was almost as if my memory of just-passed events was stronger. Not overstimulating. A floaty body high with a similar "bloated" head feeling; which is sort of warm and nice to me, honestly. Ready to hop on YouTube and fall into a hole of videos until I get bored. Could possibly hop on the train and catch some sort of food and wine festival. Even wouldn't mind if a friend stopped by for a chill session. Feel like I could focus if the topic was interesting enough, I wouldn't consider myself to be too high to function socially. Although, looking in the mirror, I do look high. No red eyes. Could be my tolerance. Anyway, I could go either way with this one. Don't feel too lazy, don't feel too energized. A good, classic, well rounded high. I would definitely recommend GG5 to anyone who's looking to unwind, for any lifestyle.

I was much happier with this strain than some who reviewed this strain. I found this phenotype to be similar to GG#4 in its ability to give you initial energy to get stuff done. Like it's parents it will glue you to the couch. Unlike its parents, this one will have you growing roots out your backside into the floor. Very heavy come down. Great for after dinner/work strain. Very strong medicine for pain, insomnia, depression (it will make you laugh). Enjoy...

It's apparently a 70:30 sativa-dominant Burns 10/10 huge bowl=no cough Looks 9.7/10 dense, cured well High (70:30 sativa-dominant) 9.8/10 potent and lasting Smell 9.6-9.8/10 tones are amazing, is a notch above smelly-in-general but isn't crazy loud, pungent earthy/diesel/chem+flowery. Lots of it grinded smells brightly of citrus-diesel-flower, like snorting a flower petal that soaked in lemon juice, except it wasn't lemon juice Taste 10/10 like weed, I don't know, I didn't eat the shit, tf It's not anywhere near "overwhelming" for me (smoking 10+ years) but I can say with 97% certainty it would be for a new/sometimes user as they'd be just swimming in their head. Users like me - it's a 1-2 bowl and you're lit. It's head-heavy. GG1+GG4=GG5, which makes you feel like time and space is distorted and even somewhat visually. Zippy-lit feeling like the strain Gods Green Crack minus the insanity/paranoid effects/more clear but equally or more fucked up. Not dusted in kief but there are lots of medium-to-large shiney trichomes everywhere, lots of orange hairs. Mine was approx 1% leafy but those few were 70% covered in kief too, even orange hairs wrapped around it. Fire strain from lineage to couch. I would recommend it for sleeping/eating/movies and maybe pain management to take your mind off it, it obviously doesn't have so much a body stone as a 60:40 indica. I think it's a good wake n bake if you have nothing to do later. If you want something with the same "holy shit I'm high" feeling without the insane cerebral boost than try AK47 as it's a 65:35 sativa, it's just ever so slightly more uplifting & euphoric and comes with a stronger body stone/glow. Don't smoke if you're easily paranoid, get dizzy or have been drinking alcohol (it'd be a terrible combo - something else - but not this).

I have fibromyalgia and this beauty makes my body feel so relaxed. At the same time I feel a little energetic too. Talkative and giggly. It tastes earthy to me, and the aroma is earthy too. Definitely one of my faves
